If a permit expires and is not renewed, the vehicle will no longer have a valid permit and may be subject to parking restrictions.
Renewal reminders are sent as a courtesy. Permit holders remain responsible for ensuring their permit is renewed before it expires.

I already have an Event Parking Permit. Do I need to apply again?
Yes. The Town of Victoria Park is transitioning Event Parking Permits to the new ePermits system.
Existing permit holders must reapply through ePermits. Existing permits remain valid until 30 June 2026. When applying, you must enter your existing permit number from vPermit so the Town can verify your permit and process any eligible refund.
Will I receive a refund for my existing permit?
Eligible permit holders may receive a refund for the remaining permit period when applying for a new permit through ePermits. Refunds are normally processed back to the original payment method used to purchase the permit.
If the original payment card has expired or been replaced, banks may redirect the refund to the replacement card. If this is not possible, the Town will contact you to arrange an alternative refund method.
