Parking

Parking is in high demand throughout the Woollahra Municipality. Parking restrictions in accordance with the New South Wales Road Rules are enforced by Council's Rangers and comprise two types of regulations, statutory and sign posted. Statutory restrictions must be adhered to by all motorists in accordance with the New South Wales Road Rules, whether sign posted or not. All sign posted restrictions must also be complied with.

Resident Parking Permits

Due to the high demand for parking in many areas of the Woollahra Municipality, Council has introduced Resident Parking schemes which are designed to help residents who have little or no off-street parking. You can apply for a new resident parking permit or renew an existing resident parking permit online or by email, post or in person.

Resident Visitor Parking Permits

Council recently resolved to introduce a Resident Visitor Parking Permit scheme. Please go to the Resident Visitor Parking Permit page for more information and the application form.

Car parks

There are a number of car parks available to the public in the Woollahra municipality.

Parking fines

All parking fines issued by Council are administered by Revenue NSW (formerly the State Debt Recovery Office).

To pay a fine, request the review of a fine or for any further information about the collection and processing of fines, visit Revenue NSW - Fines and fees.

Parking Fines Reporting

In accordance with the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Act 2024 and the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Regulation 2025, Wooollahra Council is required to report on parking fines issued each quarter.

These reports are detailed below. 

Why are we reporting parking fines?

The NSW Government’s reforms to the parking fine system, which came into effect on 1 July 2025, require councils to:

  • Attach a parking fine or notification to the vehicle (except in limited circumstances).
  • Provide photographic evidence of the offence to Revenue NSW.
  • Issue fines within seven days of the offence if no notification was attached.
  • Publicly report data on parking fines issued.

These changes aim to restore fairness and transparency to the parking fine system across NSW.

For more information on the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Act and Regulation, visit the NSW Legislation website.
