Parking Meter Car Parks
When a Disability Parking Permit holder is parking in an unstaffed car park with parking meters, they must pay for a minimum of 1-hour parking by either paying at the parking meter or using the EasyPark App. The valid Disability Parking Permit must be displayed on the vehicle dashboard, the Parking Information Officer will check the vehicle registration number in the parking meter system and EasyPark App for a valid parking session. The parking time will remain valid for a further 2-hours after the expiry time on the active parking session.
Boom Gate Car Parks (When staff on duty)
When a Disability parking Permit holder is parked in a staffed car park where there is an entry boom gate, they must pay for a minimum of 1 hour and can then park for up to an additional 2 hours for free. The driver will need to redeem the applicable concession by visiting the Customer Service Office prior to exiting the car park. The Customer Service Officer will need to sight the original Disability Parking Permit and will also collect any monies owing.
Boom Gate Car Parks (When staff are not on duty)
When a Disability Parking Permit holder is parked in a non-staffed car park where there is an entry boom gate, they must pay for a minimum of 1 hour and can then park for up to an additional 2 hours for free. The Disability Parking Permit holder should pay the full fee and obtain a receipt, then post or email their receipt and a legible copy of their permit to City of Perth parking for a refund.
Permit holders do not need to redeem their concessions individually; they may retain their receipts and send several at once.
