Parking tips in Clarence

Here are a few helpful tips to make parking around the city easier and help keep parking spaces available for everyone.

When there’s no visible parking signs or lines

• Park parallel, and as close as you can to the kerb or side of the road.
• Park the same direction as the flow of traffic.
• Leave at least one metre between your vehicle and vehicles parked in front or behind you where there are no marked parking bays.
• Avoid parking within three metres of continuous dividing lines or a median strip.
• If there is no dividing line on the street, leave enough space for other vehicles to pass safely.

On-street parking

Parking signs throughout the city show how long you can park in a space. Parking time begins from the moment your vehicle stops in the parking bay, even if you stay in your vehicle before heading to your appointment or activity. This standard applies across all Australian states and territories.

Parking sensors

Many areas of our city have parking sensors which are identified by a small number plate on the ground. The sensors help monitor how long parking spaces are being used and support fair access to parking in busy areas. City Rangers regularly patrol parking in high-use areas to help manage parking turnover and ensure spaces remain available for everyone.

Disability parking permits

Drivers displaying a valid Disability Parking Permit may be eligible for additional parking time in standard timed parking spaces when designated accessible parking spaces are unavailable.

Permit holders are still required to follow parking signs and restrictions.
