Support worker permit
These permits are specifically designated for individuals delivering care services to Town residents, ensuring their ability to perform their duties effectively.
The permit exemption allows unrestricted parking along the street on which the resident resides, where timed-parking restrictions of 1 hour or more are in place. (Please Note: vehicles are not permitted to park on any thoroughfare for a period exceeding 24 hours).

Where an application for a permit is successful, the permit will sit electronically with the nominated care provider's vehicle/s. It is up to the resident to apply for the permit and ensure permit details are kept up to date.
