Commuter permits can be purchased and managed online by permit holders. Permits will no longer be posted out for displaying in vehicles, as the active vehicle details registered on your online account will be uploaded to the civil enforcement officers handheld computer.
You can register more than one vehicle on your online account and then nominate which vehicle you need to park, as and when required. It is important to ensure the vehicle you have parked is the vehicle active on your account.
You can now purchase, book and top-up your daily commuter sessions using the new online permit system. Once you have obtained the commuter daily session voucher permit, you can then book your daily parking online. The booking will upload automatically to the civil enforcement officers handheld computers and you will no longer need to display paper scratch cards.
How to apply
Use our online system to apply for this permit. You will require a valid credit or debit card to apply online.
