Timed Beach Parking

Parking time limits apply at some of our city's busier coastal areas, so more people can access these locations.

These time limits were introduced in January 2024 to help manage congestion. We'll monitor how they're working and consider future adjustments if needed.

When parking at the beach, check the signs to see which rules apply at your location. Make sure you also stay within any marked parking bays.

Council’s Compliance Officers will be out over the summer months, enforcing the new time limits and parking restrictions.
