Accessibility parking permits

Accessible parking permits (formerly disabled parking permits)

From 22 March 2021, the Mount Alexander Shire Council moved to the Victorian Government's new Accessible Parking Permit (APP) Scheme and online administration system. Residents and organisations who need a new parking permit, or to renew or replace a permit, will need to apply using the new online application process.

A paper-based version of the application is available if you don’t have access to a mobile phone or the internet. Please contact our Customer Service team on 5471 1700 if you need a paper form.

Improvements to the Scheme include:

  • Introduction of temporary permits for 6, 12 or 24 months
  • Increased permit length, from 3 to 5 years for individuals
  • Introduction of a permanent disability classification, so reassessments are not required for some people’s future permit renewals
  • A new single and secure state-wide permit design that will reduce the misuse of permits
  • The inclusion of occupational therapists (OTs) as assessors, in addition to GPs, and
  • Double Time (green permits) and permits for organisations will continue under the new scheme

How long does it take to get a permit?

Once your application is approved, your permit will arrive in the mail in around seven to 10 days.

These times may vary depending on Australia Post demand. You can select to have the permit collected from Council, you will need some form of identification to collect the permit.
