Free Disability Parking in Burnie

Published on 31 October 2023

At the October Council Meeting, a motion was passed to introduce free disability parking in Burnie. This will take effect as of today (Tuesday 31 October 2023). Please be advised that the arrangements for the new disability parking are as follows:

The free parking is limited to the existing Designated Disability Zones and the Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP).

•  Designated Disability Zones: Disability parking permit holders can park for free in these zones for twice the stated time limit. For instance, a 1-hour limit allows for 2 hours of free parking, while a 2-hour limit allows for 4 hours.

  • Regular Parking Spaces: In regular spaces, permit holders must pay for the initial parking period but will receive the same additional time for free. For example, pay for 2 hours and get another 2 hours free. Always ensure your permit is displayed.

  • Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP): Free parking is unlimited in designated zones, but vehicles must exit by 6:20 PM to avoid an exit fee. First-time users must register their disability permit at the customer service booth, and permits must always be displayed in vehicles parked in designated MSCP zones.
