ePermits
New ePermit System
From 2 April 2024, Council has changed the way you apply for, and renew your Resident, Visitor, Business, and Commuter parking permits. A new online system has been developed which means you will no longer receive a physical permit that needs to be displayed in your vehicle. Instead, your new ePermit will be a digital parking permit associated to your nominated vehicle’s registration.

What does this mean for me?
This means that any new or physical parking permits due for renewal will need to be applied for online, and if approved (granted), a new digital parking ePermit will be issued.
If you currently have no permits or a permit expiring in the next month and you are eligible, you can apply for a digital parking ePermit now by visiting the Burwood ePermits Self Service Portal. If your permit expiry is greater than one month, please continue to use these permits until you receive a renewal reminder from Council.
How do I know if I am eligible for a digital parking ePermit and if so, how do I apply for one?
To see if your property is in a Permit Parking Scheme (PPS) Zone, click here.
If you are eligible, you will need to set up an online account to use the system. Following sign up you will be able to apply for your digital parking ePermit(s). As part of the application process you will still need to provide all the required documentation such as vehicle registration papers to support your application.
How do I change the vehicle registration of my visitor parking ePermit?
To change the vehicle registration on your Visitor Parking ePermit, click here.
You will need to sign into your account, find the visitor ePermit from the list of approved permits and click on the “Update vehicle” button. You can then change the vehicle registration assigned to that ePermit.
When the registration has been updated, you will receive an email from ‘ParkingPermits’ confirming the change to the permit details.
