Sarah

  • Lives with her partner and three children in a single-dwelling home built in 1980.
  • There are no parking restrictions within 100 metres of her dwelling.

Sarah is eligible for:

  • User-Pays Permit in an area that does have parking restrictions.

Sarah isn’t eligible for any other parking permits, because like most Darebin residents she doesn’t need them to park outside her home, as she and her family have access to unrestricted parking on their street.
