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.

Did you know that Manningham is one of the leafiest areas of metropolitan Melbourne with more than 656 hectares of Council-managed parks and reserves?
With more than 60km of shared trails, 300 individual parks and reserves, 163 play spaces, numerous picnic areas and walking paths to manage, our Parks Improvement Program sets out a plan for the future upgrades of all our parks over the next 20 years.
We are guided by our Open Space Strategy, the Eastern Region Sport, Recreation and Trail Strategy, specific park masterplans, community requests and planned facility renewal programs.
Our Parks Improvement Program identifies opportunities for improvements and ensures our parks and reserves are well maintained and upgraded as our population grows.
What is the Parks Improvement Program?
The Parks Improvement Programs sets out a plan for the future renewal and upgrade of all parks in Manningham over the next 20 years.
How was this program developed?
The Parks Improvement Program is based on recommendations from our Open Space Strategy, Eastern Region Sport, Recreation and Trails Strategy, specific masterplans for our parks, feedback and requests from our community and planned facility renewal programs.
What are the objectives of this plan?
This program will ensure our parks and reserves remain relevant and accessible to everyone into the future. It will make sure that facilities are in good condition and adapt to changing needs.
How is the schedule of renewal and upgrade determined?
For most park facilities like playspaces, furniture, paths and garden beds they need to be renewed every 20-25 years to ensure they are in a good and safe condition. Other factors are the level of use, i.e. Regional parks and playspaces get much higher use and wear out more quickly; the population growth in that neighbourhood; and demand for new facilities like fitness equipment, lighting and trails.
Does the program factor in new parks in the future?
Yes a number of new parks or expansion of existing ones has been determined in the Open Space Strategy to cater for gaps in provision, links to other parks or where there is higher density living occurring. These sites will gradually be acquired and developed as they become available.

We plan the construction of our city’s footpaths, shared paths and trails by identifying the routes that pedestrians use more often on their journeys.
We use community feedback and other key areas to identify this network and locate where new footpaths are needed and plan for their construction.
Works to build a new footpath are prioritised by:
- the pedestrian demand
- the type of road
- its location relative to various facilities within the community
- the proximity to public transport.
Timeframes for new footpath projects can be affected by factors such as major road projects or large scale developments throughout Manningham.
