Parking Sign - 4P Coupon Ticket

Byron Shire Council issued resident parking coupon is for use in the Council designated paid parking areas of Byron Bay. The parking coupon operates as a pre-payment coupon issued on behalf of Council to Shire residents to be used in lieu of having to make payment via the parking technology.

However this is only applicable when a valid parking coupon is clearly displayed on the vehicle with matching registration plate number to which it has been issued. Please note time limits are enforced.

The coupon is issued for use in the following designated paid parking Council car parks:

  • Main Beach Car Park
  • Lawson St North Car Park
  • Lawson St South Car Park
  • Clarkes Beach Car Park

Parking coupons are issued with an expiry date generally closely aligned with the expiry date of the certificate of registration provided to Council. It is the responsibility of residents that they check the validity of their parking coupon when parking in the Council designated paid parking areas. It is the onus of residents to renew their coupon as required.

Please ensure you park according to sign posted time limits and directions.
