Resident permits are electronic - you do not need a sticker or sign for your vehicles.

Your license plate will be recorded in the system, so if you park in a paid space on weekends or public holidays, our enforcement team will be notified, and you won’t receive a fine unless you have overstayed the allocated time.

Permits are valid until the end of the pilot evaluation period on 30 September 2026. Depending on the outcome of the pilot, you will be able to renew your permit.

 

There are still plenty of free, and untimed parking spots in Warburton. Some of these parking spots will be further away from high-traffic areas.
