Balgowlah Permit Parking Scheme

Permits are valid for a twelve month period commencing 1 February and expiring 31 January. 

Council is operating a Permit Parking Scheme in the area indicated in the map below.  The Scheme allows vehicles displaying a valid permit to park without time restrictions in a street in this Area with a “Balgowlah Permit Holders Excepted” sign.

Who can apply

An Information Sheet with further information on this Scheme is available for download. The residents of Cormack Street and Learmonth Avenue, either the owner or the tenant of a rateable property within the Scheme are invited to apply for up to four (4) residents’ parking permits (inclusive of 1 permit for a registered trailer). 

The residents of Pickworth Avenue, either the owner or the tenant of a rateable property within the Scheme are invited to apply for up to three (3) residents’ parking permits (inclusive of 1 permit for a registered trailer). 

Additional permits are only granted in exceptional circumstances by written application to the General Manager.

The number of residents’ permits provided per rateable property will be calculated based on the maximum permit entitlement minus the number of off street spaces available within the rateable address. Off-street parking spaces include spaces within driveways, parking areas, car ports and garages. (For example: an address on Cormack Street with a single off-street space would be eligible for up to three (3) residents’ parking permits one of which could be for a trailer where as a Pickworth Avenue address would be eligible for up to two (2) residents’ parking permits one of which could be for a trailer).

Occupants of rateable addresses can apply for a residents’ permit for a single trailer provided this trailer is registered with the RMS (such trailers are considered a registered vehicle)

 Fees & Charges

Where to park

Vehicles or trailers displaying a valid permit may park without time restriction only in the streets signposted “2P Balgowlah Permit Holders Excepted” or “Authorised Residents Vehicles Excepted” within the Balgowlah permit parking area.  These permits are not valid in any other on-street parking areas and are not valid in the Manly Council parking meters.  Vehicles not displaying a valid Balgowlah parking permit must obey the time limits on the parking signs.

Display of Permits

Vehicles

To be valid, all permits must be displayed in a Manly Council permit holder.  Vehicles displaying expired permits or permits from outside the permit area will not be exempt from the sign-posted time restrictions.

 Hanging Holder (No longer sold by Council)

When parked, place the valid permit in the holder so that the Council logo and permit area details are facing forward.  Hang the holder from the interior, rear vision mirror, facing forward and outward.  Ensure the permit details are visible through your windscreen from outside the vehicle.  Always remove the holder from the rear vision mirror whilst driving.

 Adhesive and Suction Cap Permit Holders

Either peel off adhesive strips or press suction caps to adhere holder to lower passenger side of vehicle windscreen, near dashboard.  Slip valid permit into the pocket in the holder.  Ensure the Council logo and permit area details on the permit are facing forward and are visible through the windscreen from outside the vehicle.  Permits can be removed from the holder when required, leaving the holder in place.  These permit holders are sold by Council.

 Trailers

The trailer’s RMS current Certificate of Registration at the property address must be supplied with the permit application.  Trailer permits must be permanently affixed to the registered trailer in a suitable holder.  Trailers displaying expired permits or permits from outside the permit area will not be exempt from the sign-posted time restrictions.
