Residents Parking Permit
Permits open on 17 March 2025
If you are a resident in Yarra Ranges you can park for free in Warburton. Paid parking starts on 3 May 2025 until July 2026 when it will be reviewed.
Please note - Permits only allow you to park for free - time restrictions and enforcement still applies.

How does it work?
Resident permits are electronic - there will be no stickers or signs for your vehicles.
Your license plate will be recorded in the system, so if you park in a paid space on weekends or public holidays, our enforcement team will be notified, and you won’t receive a fine.
