The City of Stirling charges for parking in five areas of the City, Monday to Friday, and the long-term rate is $2.10 per hour up to a maximum of $6.60 a day in all of them. You pay with the EasyPark app or at a meter that takes Visa and Mastercard only, and two small areas give you the first hour free. Everything below comes from the City’s own pages, read on Saturday 7 November 2026, and prices are as of November 2026.
Where is parking paid in the City of Stirling?
The City says paid parking has been put in high demand parking areas. It lists five, and tells drivers to always check signage when parking. The streets named by the City are in the table.
| Area | Streets the City lists | Short term | Long term |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glendalough | Cayley Street, Harborne Street, Leeder Street (eastern end only), Pollard Street between Cayley and Harborne | Not listed | $2.10 per hour, max $6.60 per day |

| Mount Lawley | Railway Parade (first hour free), Park Road (first hour free), Bradford Street | $2.20 per hour | $2.10 per hour, max $6.60 per day |
In each area the City says parking is available Monday to Friday. It does not say what happens on weekends beyond that, so read the sign on the day.
Is any parking free?
Yes. The City says there are still several free areas, although other restrictions may apply. In the paid areas, the “first hour free” applies to one hour per vehicle per day and is taken off automatically at the meter or in EasyPark. Motorcycle bays are free in the City’s paid areas, and motorcycles can also use a regular bay.
Mount Lawley also has free parking that the City lists separately. Field Street has a three-hour limit from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, with no limit on Saturday and Sunday. Beaufort Street has a one-hour limit from 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday and from 8am to 1pm on Saturday, with no limit on Sunday. The Beaufort Street carparks have a three-hour limit from 7am to 6pm, seven days. On Beaufort Street the southbound lane is a dedicated bus lane from 6:30am to 9am and the northbound lane from 4pm to 6:30pm, and no parking is allowed in the bus lane at those times.
How do I pay?
| Method | What the City says |
|---|---|
| EasyPark app | Works in every paid spot in the City; you can extend your time as you go and get a reminder before it runs out; contact EasyPark on 1300 73 40 70 or customer.service@easypark.com.au |
| Parking meter | Short-term areas (for example 2P) have meters that take credit card payments only, with a $2.00 minimum; American Express is not accepted; meters give no change and take no cash |
| Receipt | EasyPark users can get a receipt from the app; the meters are pay-by-plate and print no ticket |
Pay-by-plate means you key in your number plate, so the plate you enter has to be right. The City is firm on this point, as the fines section below shows. If a meter is faulty, the City tells you to use another meter in the same zone, use EasyPark, or report the fault on (08) 9205 8555. Where a meter has a fault, drivers are required to buy a session in the EasyPark app.
What happens if I get a parking fine?
The City’s infringements page sets out these steps and time limits.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Within 28 days of the date of issue | Payment is due; you can pay online by Visa or Mastercard |
| 14 days from the date of issue | The City sends a Reminder Notice |
| After 28 days | A Final Demand Notice is issued, with an additional late payment fee |
| If still unpaid | The fine is referred to the Fines Enforcement Registry; extra charges apply, your licence may be suspended and you cannot renew your vehicle registration until it is paid |
If you were the owner but not the driver, you can nominate the driver within 28 days. If you need more time to pay, call (08) 9205 8555 and have your infringement number ready. You can also ask for photo evidence if you think the fine was issued in error. An appeal must be made by the driver within 28 days of the date of issue.
Which excuses does the City accept?
The City publishes a list of reasons it cannot withdraw a fine for: entering the wrong licence plate, being held up at an appointment, work or court, running a few minutes late, not knowing the area or the road rules, misreading or not seeing a sign, a first offence, and being unable to afford the fine. It says it may consider withdrawing a fine for a medical emergency backed by an official letter from the hospital or doctor, or for a car breakdown backed by paperwork such as a letter from roadside assistance, a repairer’s invoice, a parts receipt or a towing invoice.
Before you send an appeal, check the fine has the City of Stirling logo. The City says it often receives requests about fines issued by other councils.
Can residents get a permit?
The City issues resident permits that let people park for longer than the signs allow in high-demand streets. To be eligible you must live in a City of Stirling area where permits are required, have fewer than two parking spaces at your property and have more vehicles than spaces. The vehicle cannot be a commercial vehicle over the tare weight the City states. All permits expire on 31 December each year. The City’s page says the Puccini Court overflow carpark permits, at $5.50 per day, have reached capacity and no further permits will be issued.
