There are loading zones throughout the city to enable businesses to deliver and receive goods. Only vehicles designed and used for transporting goods and authorised vehicles can use the zones.
If you own or operate a vehicle and park it on the street to deliver to a business, you need to display a loading zone permit.
To apply you need to supply the Council with a letter saying why you need a permit for your business. This permit costs $55 (annual and renewable).
Send applications, with full payment, to:
