Service permit

A service permit provides all day parking options in areas with parking restrictions for the dates that the services are being carried out for a period of up to 4 weeks.

Permits are generally issued for the street on which the residence is located, or the parking permit area (if one exists) in which the residence is located.

Depending on the location of the residence, we may issue the permit for another location (e.g. adjoining street) at its discretion and in discussion with the applicant. 

Any resident who is eligible for visitor parking permits should apply for these instead as they are lower cost and do not require evidence of the service occurring at your property.

If you are a resident who is not eligible for visitor parking permits, you should apply for a service permit when you have a tradesperson, removalist, etc. that requires all day parking on your street.

To be eligible for a service permit you must:

• Live in a property in Merri-bek
• Produce evidence of your residency in Merri-bek
• Produce evidence of tradespeople, removalists etc servicing your residency (e.g. quote or receipt of services) that specify the dates when the work will take place

The service provider can apply for this parking permit on your behalf, their application must include a letter or email from the resident providing consent.

You can purchase up to 3 permits within a 12-month period, beginning from the start of the first permit.

Permits are valid for the dates which the work is expected, for up to 4 weeks. If more permits or a longer time period is required (i.e extensive works at the property) you can contact us to request a work zone.
