A New Accessible Parking Permit Scheme Is Coming To Wyndham

A new online application process has been introduced for residents requiring Accessible Parking Permits (APP).

From 22 March 2021, the state Government has created a new online application service for those residents and organisations who require a new permit or need to renew or replace a permit.

Community Safety Portfolio Holder, Cr Susan McIntyre, said the new APP Scheme will streamline the application process, making it easier, simpler and more consistent across the state.

“Multiple improvements have been made to the permit scheme which will help residents,” Cr McIntyre said.

“Improvements to the scheme include the introduction of temporary permits for 6, 12 or 24 months, increased permit length, from 3 years to 5 years for individuals and the introduction of a permanent disability classification, so reassessments are not required for some people’s future permit renewals.”

“Double Time (green permits) will continue under the new scheme. These permits allow people with limited mobility additional time to park for double the time in a regular parking space.”

*NB: All Wyndham disability permits remain valid until their expiry date and permit holders are not required to do anything until it’s time to renew their permit.

After completing your application, you can choose either to have your permit mailed out to you or pick up from the Civic Centre.

If you do not have internet access or physically can’t complete an online application, please ask your carer, family, a friend or GP to assist. Council customer service teams can also help you if you require assistance or have no internet access.

Paper applications are available from our council customer service centres if needed, but please note the online process provides a faster outcome.
