Off Street Parking Permits
City of Darwin is pleased to announce the introduction of electronic permits (e-permits) for reserved off-street car parking. This transition contributes to the city's overarching goals of improving urban mobility, reducing traffic congestion, enhancing the overall parking experience for residents and visitors, and embracing technological advancements to create a more sustainable and liveable environment.

E-permits will be available for the West Lane, Dragonfly, Nichols Place, Darwin Oval & Mitchell/Daly Street carparks from July 2023.
Depending on the permit type you need, Monthly, Quarterly & Annual Permits will be available for purchase. Spaces are limited. When all the spaces are filled customers can be added to a waitlist which will be a first come, first served basis.
