1. The Perth Parking Management Exemptions refer to parking bay categories prescribed in Schedule 2, items 1 to 10, 11(a), 12 and 13 of the
Perth Parking Management Regulations 1999.
2. Any licensee with parking bays referred to in (1) above within the Perth Parking Management Area is eligible for the exemption (i.e. does not have to pay a parking bay levy but must still license the bays).
3. The exemptions are provided to encourage the continued economic and social viability of central Perth. Most exemptions allow for parking types deemed to support this objective (such as loading bays, ACROD parking) to be licensed at no cost, thereby encouraging their provision. The remaining exemption is for properties with 5 or less fee-liable parking bays and is in place to minimise the impact on small businesses in central Perth.
