How can I pay for parking?

These are the payment methods:

You cannot use cash at the meters. All payments will be taken through credit/debit card. This is to reduce the risk of vandalism, streamline operations, and align with modern payment trends.

  • along the Yarra River Walk
  • Story Reserve
  • Warburton Skatepark
  • Dammans Road
  • Warburton Recreation Reserve
