The parking rate is set by PTA and the City understands this will be the same as for other carparks serving train stations in Perth (presently $2 per day). 

The City does not presently charge for parking. So, there would currently be no cost unless the driver infringes against the City’s Parking Local Law or Road Traffic Code.

It means you may not stop your vehicle at any point within the area/boundary designated by the “no stopping” signs or by a continuous yellow line along the road edge. As shown below.

It means you may not leave a vehicle stationary and unattended for an extended period within the area/boundary designated by the “no parking” signs. Exceptions include picking-up/dropping-off people or goods (maximum 2 minutes). Which includes:

• No parking within 10m of an intersection. 
• No parking on footpaths or pedestrian crossings.
• No parking in front of vehicle driveways.
• No parking in a cul-de-sac such that it will prevent vehicles from turning within the cul-de-sac.
• No parking on a median strip or traffic island.
• No parking on verges where there are signs that prohibits this. Exceptions include being the owner or occupier of the property adjacent to the verge or have the permission from the owner or occupier to stop/park on the verge adjacent to their property.
• No parking on reserves (local government owned or managed land) unless the area is specifically set out for parking purposes. as shown below.

The time for on-street parking can vary as provided by the signs at the location.  In the example below:

• The 1P means the vehicle can be parked for a maximum of one hour . 
• This one hour restriction applies only from 9:00 am to -5:30 pm Monday to Friday and 9:00 am to 12:00 pmon Saturday. 
• At other parking times there is no timed limit. 

Typically, it would be block by block, and not just for a single property.

Rangers will be on duty any time of the day. Visits would increase as per any requests and concerns that are received.

Currently, the City does not have a parking permit scheme.

Parking on any footpath is prohibited. Infringements will apply without warning.

There will be a period of education to allow users time to become familiar with the regulations and requirements of parking within and around the area. During this period, Rangers will issue verbal or written cautions prior to any infringements. Repeat offenders and people parking on footpaths or performing actions which pose a direct threat to public safety will still receive immediate infringements during this time.
