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.
How to apply or renew your accessible parking permit
All existing permits that are not a part of the current Accessible Parking Permit scheme will remain valid until their expiry date or until 30 June 2023, whichever date occurs first.

The current Local Law regulates the parking of an oversize vehicle on private residential land.
In certain circumstances a Permit will be issued to the owner of the land to permit the parking.
The purpose of the permit assessment is to ensure that the oversize vehicle does not impact on neighbouring properties, public safety or cause damage to Council assets.
Prior to approval being granted a number of considerations will be assessed.
When applying for a permit, provide as much information as part of an application to outline why consideration should be given.

Tikalara Park is located where the Mullum Mullum Creek and the Yarra River join. It forms part of the Yarra Valley Parklands on Crown Land managed by Parks Victoria (which supports the Mullum Mullum/Main Yarra Trail) and Manningham freehold land parcels.
Generally Tikalara can be defined as the area north of Websters Road and between Mullum Mullum Creek/Yarra River to the west and Blackburn Road to the east.
The reserve provides flora and fauna, sport, informal recreation, linear park and unstructured nature play.
Fire safety at Tikalara Park
All Manningham reserves are closed on days of total fire ban, or higher extreme or catastrophic Fire Danger Rating. Visiting a reserve on these days places you at risk and potentially in danger.
To check the current Fire Danger Rating or find out if it’s a total fire ban day, go to the CFA website.
Report an issue
Please let us know if you notice anything unsafe, like a broken tree branch or damaged playground.
What we do to reduce fire risk at Tikalara Park
Finer fuels such as leaf litter, tree branches and twigs raise the level of risk within reserves. Large fallen trees require a much higher level of heat to burn and provide habitats for native wildlife.
Here are some actions we take throughout the year to reduce the fire risk at this reserve:
create and maintain fuel breaks within the reserve
maintain grass heights with slashing, brush cutting and tractors year round
remove fine fuels such as loose and fallen branches
annual inspection and maintenance of Fire Access Tracks, to ensure emergency service vehicles can access the reserve
inspect access points, gates and locks
We manage 20 per cent of the land in Manningham, but the other 66 per cent is privately owned. Visit the CFA website for information on how to prepare your private property for fire.
