Parking rules
Our Rangers are employed to enforce the local parking laws to support community safety, ensure everyone can access where they need to go, and to protect the environment. We actively promote safe and legal parking through enforcement and education programs.
Illegal verge parking or over-staying time limits is a strong focus for our Rangers. It is important for everyone to abide by the law, pay attention to signs and display permits correctly at all times. Vehicles parked on the road must not be parked against the flow of traffic or obstruct pedestrian access ways and footpaths. And remember to plan ahead for parking on weekends and at major events. See below for some tips on how to avoid an infringement.
Please note that parking restrictions are enforced on all days including on public holidays, unless otherwise directed by the signs.
Appropriate signs throughout the City clearly indicate parking restrictions, including time limitations, which must be obeyed. Breaches of parking restrictions are monitored and enforced by Ranger Services and parking offences and can attract on-the-spot fines.
The Australian Disability Parking Permit (ADPP) can be used across the City. The ADPP must be clearly displayed on the front dashboard of the vehicle, with the permit number and expiry date visible. These bays are marked in all City parking maps.
Rockingham Centre and Warnbro Centre are Parking Stations under the City's Parking Local Law. Sign-posted restrictions apply in this area. City Rangers have the authority to issue infringements for unauthorised parking at these shopping centres.
