Temporary Parking Restrictions - East Cottesloe

November 2021 - 2023

Residents who have been notified in writing of the implementation of temporary parking restrictions in East Cottesloe due to the large-scale development and construction phase of the Grove in Claremont are to use the 'Application for Authorised Vehicle Permit' form issued to them for all requests for a temporary permit(s) for this area.  Please note that the online 'Related Documents' below are NOT for this purpose.   Should you have any queries, please contact the Town on 9285 5000.

Resident Parking Permits

The Town of Cottesloe may issue permits to residents in identified high demand areas.

The Town has established parking permit zones in identified high demand parking locations for residents who do not have on-site parking or do not have sufficient on-site parking at their residence, subject to meeting the eligibility criteria. The establishment of parking permit zones serves to re-enforce a shift to more sustainable modes of transport and minimise congestion within residential streets caused by motorists who may be utilising nearby commercial or public transport hubs.

Using Your Permit

Residents who are eligible for a parking permit(s) may park within the permit area identified on the reverse of their permit(s).

Subject to the above, the display of a valid parking permit in a vehicle does not revoke the requirement to comply with all other parking legislation, prohibitions and signage restrictions. Permits do not enable motorists to park illegally, for example contrary to signage, over footways or on other residents' verges without consent. Penalties may apply.

Parking Permit Zones

Parking permits are currently available for eligible residents in the following streets:

  • Gadsdon Street
  • Grant Street
  • John Street
