City of Perth Parking FAQ

1. Why can't I reduce or increase the price of my parking on the ticket machine?

Please use the silver buttons next to the plus (+) and minus (-) icons to increase and decrease the amount you would like to pay. Please remember that on-street parking has a minimum $2.00 transaction and open air car parks have a one hour minimum.

2. Where can I park my motorcycle in the City - is it free?

Free, all day motorcycle parking may be found at:

Mounts Bay Road facility (next to Mitchell Freeway overpass) = 112 bays

Nash Street, Northbridge = 22 bays

Pier Street, Northbridge = 8 bays

Motorcycle parking fees in CPP Car Parks varies according to car park. Please see posted fee signage.

You must pay for on-street motorcycle parking when a parking meter covers the motorcycle bay occupied. Where there is no parking meter for the motor cycle bay/s, the parking is free. All on-street motorcycle bays are time limited so please be sure to read all signs in the area you park.

Please be aware that motorcycles and/or scooters are not permitted to park in a motor vehicle bay.

6. Why didn't I receive a ticket when I entered Council House, Goderich Street, Regal Place, Mayfair St or Tuvey Lane Car Park?

These Car Parks are managed with Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) software. Your vehicle's licence plate will be read and recorded upon approach and the boomgate will automatically lift for your entry.
