Mobility card users

Mobility parking permit holders can use mobility parking spaces that are wider than standard parks and closer to venues. These spaces are marked with the disability symbol and painted yellow. 

Mobility card holders can park in marked mobility spaces, or in time-restricted or paid metered parking spaces. Please clearly display your mobility card on the dashboard of your vehicle at all times, and as close to the windscreen as possible.

The card must be visible from the footpath. Please also check the expiry date of your card from time to time.
