Lost or stolen parking permits
If you have lost or had your permit stolen (except the accessible parking permit), you can apply for a new one online.
Find out how to apply for an accessible parking permit and how much it costs ...
What is an accessible parking permit?
Formerly called a disabled parking permit, an Accessible Parking Permit (APP) is for drivers or passengers with a disability. It's also for organisations helping transport people with disabilities.
The Victorian Government introduced the Accessible Parking Permit Scheme to help make a simpler and more consistent process.
All councils across the state will use the same application process. This aligns with the Australian Disability Parking Permit Scheme.
What improvements have been made to the process?
-
temporary permits will be available for six, 12 or 24 month periods
-
permanent permits will be valid for five years rather than three years
-
the introduction of a permanent disability classification, so functional assessments aren’t required for future permit renewals
-
a single and secure state wide permit design that will reduce permit misuse
-
the inclusion of occupational therapists as assessors and GPs
-
permits for organisations will continue to be available for 12 month period.
Which types of permits can you apply for?
There are two types of permits available:
-
Australian disability parking permit (ADP) - allows you to park in:
-
an accessible parking bay for the specified time limit.
-
a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.
-
-
Victorian double time accessible parking permit – allows you to park in:
-
a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.
-
A GP or occupational therapist functional assessment will decide on whether to issue a permit and the permit type.

Park Orchards Reserve is 1.6 hectares and provides a range of community and sporting facilities, including a one court indoor stadium, community house, tennis courts and a playspace installed in 2010.
The reserve is on Crown Land but managed by Manningham Council as Committee of Management. The stadium is also located on Crown Land which forms part of Manningham’s open space network and there is a joint usage agreement between the Education Department and Council that enables both school and community usage.
The reserve is well developed and a central hub to the Park Orchards residential community. It is in close proximity to the local Maternal and Child Health Centre, pre-school, primary school and local shopping centre.
Given its high level of use, the reserve needs to remain accessible to local residents by foot, bicycle or bus.
