A day in a City of Fremantle car park costs $11 to $15 a day, and the City lists 30 minutes of free parking in High Street in the West End and in Adelaide Street between Parry and Queen Street. The City manages 27 car parks, most of them in the city centre and close to public transport. It also says that not all parking spaces in Fremantle are managed by the City, and that it has no authority over the car parks run by Wilson Parking or other private providers.

This guide uses three City of Fremantle pages, all read on 7 November 2026: Visitor parking, Parking locations and Infringements. Prices are as published on those pages in November 2026.

Where is parking free in Fremantle?

Where What the City says
High Street (West End) 30 minutes free parking
Adelaide Street, between Parry and Queen Street 30 minutes free parking
Parry Street car park 01 172 bays; buy the first hour and get the second hour free, Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm, with a ticket displayed

The Parry Street offer is listed with the condition “with a ticket displayed”. The City’s pages do not say whether the same offer applies at weekends, so treat it as a weekday offer.

What does the City say about short stays and cheaper long stays?

For short-term parking, the City lists over 1,000 on-street bays outside banks, the post office and stores in the city centre. It recommends EasyPark so that you only pay for the time you use, and it points to its parking fee schedule for the on-street rates.

For long stays, the City says cheaper long term options are on the fringes of the city centre, at the Beach Street, Ellen Street and Parry Street car parks. Those are the car parks in the table above with the $11 to $15 daily rates. The City also has a long term permits page for permit parking.

How do I pay: EasyPark or the meter?

The City says the EasyPark app is the easiest way to pay in City-owned car parks. You press “start” when you arrive and “stop” when you leave, and you pay for the parking time you actually use. The PayStay app is no longer active for Fremantle and cannot be used to pay for parking.

The City’s parking meters use pay-by-plate technology and are ticketless, so you do not display a ticket on the dash. The City lists these steps:

  1. Enter your vehicle’s licence plate number on the keypad.
  2. Select the parking duration within the time limit of the zone.
  3. Pay by tapping your phone or using a credit or debit card. Many meters still accept cash, and on-site signs show which ones do.
  4. Take an e-receipt or a paper receipt if you want one.

The City publishes its car park fee schedule for 2026-27 as a document linked from the Visitor parking page. The document itself is not reproduced here.

What if the ticket machine is broken?

The City asks you to call its customer service centre on 1300 MYFREO (1300 693 736) and give the ticket machine number, the problem, your car registration, colour and make, and the location. The customer service centre passes the report to the City’s technical services team.

Do disability parking permits work in Fremantle?

The City says official ACROD parking permits issued worldwide are accepted in Fremantle. All ACROD permit holders are entitled to free parking, and the signposted time limits are doubled. If you park in a dedicated ACROD bay, you must keep to the time limit shown. The City has a list of designated ACROD parking spots in the Fremantle CBD on its website.

Where can I not park?

The City lists these places as no-parking areas under its Parking Local Law:

  • On footpaths, whether it is your car or your motorbike.
  • In front of driveways, right of way sections, garages and similar.
  • In any area designated for authorised vehicles, or reserved by Fremantle officers, emergency and special service vehicles.
  • In bus and taxi zones.
  • Within 10 metres of an intersection, or 20 metres of a traffic light-controlled intersection.
  • In any area signed “No stopping” or “No Parking”.

How do I pay or appeal a parking fine in Fremantle?

The City’s infringements page says you can pay online, in person, by mail or by phone. If an online payment fails, call 1300 MYFREO (1300 693 736); the City says to check that your payment is not overdue and that three working days have passed since the date of issue.

Step What the City says
Pay Within 28 days of the date the infringement notice was issued
Reminder If not paid in 28 days, a reminder notice goes to the registered owner, with a further 28 days to pay or nominate a driver
Final demand If there is no payment or nomination, a final demand with additional penalties is issued; driver nomination does not apply at this stage
Enforcement The matter goes to the Fines Enforcement Registry for further action such as suspension of a driver’s licence
Appeal Online form; the City says reviews are generally resolved within 28 business days

The City’s Parking Appeals Policy lists reasons it will not entertain. They include losing track of time, not seeing or understanding the sign, leaving your permit in another car, a ticket or permit that fell out of sight or flipped upside down, thinking you were allowed to park in a restricted area, and parking where you could not find a bay.

What is still to be confirmed?

  • The on-street hourly fees, which the City gives in its 2026-27 fee schedule document.
  • Whether the Parry Street first-hour offer applies outside Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm; the City’s pages give only those hours.
  • Rates at private car parks, which the City does not manage.
