Click on the categories below for more information and to arrange your application.
Parking permit for residents and business owners
Residents and business owners may qualify for a parking permit, which allows parking 24/7 in the paid parking area.
Effective January 1, 2021, all residents and business owners must reapply for their parking permit or waiver each year. If you do not reapply, we will not send you a new permit.
For residents, they must live in the area. For business owners, if the business is located in the paid parking area, the car is necessary for the proper functioning of the business and therefore must be able to park in close proximity.
A total of two parking permits may be applied for per address.
In the situation where one can park several cars on one's own property, such as in a driveway or garage, then one is not eligible for a permit. In the situation that one car can be parked on private property, then one more parking permit in the public space may be applied for at this address.

Parking waiver Blue Zone for residents and business owners
Residents who cannot park on their own property and business owners who can demonstrate that they need the car several times a day to properly run their business, such as by having a delivery service, may qualify for a parking waiver.
Effective January 1, 2021, all residents and business owners must reapply for their parking waivers each year. If you do not reapply, we will not send you a new waiver.
The amounts for a parking waiver are set annually by the Council in the Rates Memorandum. The dispensation is linked to the dispensation holder and is issued by license plate, with a maximum of two dispensations per address or business.
