Parking
Parking Around Town 
The City of Busselton has several differently timed parking zones in our town centres.
All day unrestricted parking is available in peripheral carparks and streets.
You can avoid a parking fine by observing time restrictions and parking your vehicle wholly within a designated parking bay.
You should not:
- park on the City’s parks and reserves
- remove chalk from your tyres
- move your vehicle and re-park within the same street or timed carpark to avoid time restrictions. These time restricts will apply to the whole street or designated area.
You should not park or stop:
- in a disabled parking bay unless you have an ACROD permit clearly displayed
- in an area designated for buses or taxes
- in areas designated as ‘No Stopping’ or in a ‘Loading Zone’ unless in a commercial vehicle and you are loading goods
- over a footpath, traffic island or median strip
- facing on-coming traffic (i.e. on the wrong side of the road)
- on a verge unless you have permission of the abutting resident
- within 10 metres of an intersection or corner
- within 3 metres of an unbroken dividing line or median strip
- in a way that obstructs other road users or pedestrians

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations
The City of Busselton partnered with RAC to deliver EV chargers at Dunsborough and Busselton Foreshore in 2015, this was when the number of electric vehicles on the road in Western Australia was quite small. Both demand for and supply of electric vehicles is improving across Western Australia, as is the rollout of charging infrastructure.
Electric vehicle charging infrastructure is undertaken by the private sector and there is an expectation that additional charging infrastructure will be delivered without the need for the City to subsidise or undertake that investment. The City is aware of continued collaboration between landowners and providers to develop additional charging infrastructure on private land, such as shopping/retail car parks, or hotel/accommodation sites. Significant new investment in EV charging at service stations is also becoming more common.
For more information, the Synergy website contains useful information on the current and future networks, and the Plugshare page shows information on chargers from a range of sources.
Parking Around Schools
Parking restrictions around schools protect children and ensure the flow of traffic during busy school drop-off and pick-up times.
City Rangers enforce school parking restrictions as part of their routine patrols and in response to complaints from local residents, the school itself, or other parents who observe drivers not parking safely or lawfully.
To avoid a parking fine, you should not:
- double park or stop parallel to another vehicle to allow your child to enter or exit your vehicle
- obstruct a children’s crossing
You should not park or stop:
- with any part of your vehicle on a footpath
- on traffic islands and median strips
- on a verge or nature strip without the consent of the abutting resident
- across a driveway
- in a bus zone
- longer than the permitted time in a time parking area
- facing oncoming traffic (i.e. on the wrong side of the road)
- within 10 metres of an intersection or corner
- within 3 metres of an unbroken dividing line or median strip
- on or across a footpath
Parking for People with Disabilities
Under the provisions of the Road Traffic Code 2000, the holder of a valid ACROD permit which is displayed may park in a timed parking zone for:
- 30 minutes if the time limit indicated on the sign is under 30 minutes
- 2 hours if the time indicated on the sign is between 30 and 60 minutes
- twice the period if the time indicated on the sign is over 60 minutes
These provisions only apply where a valid ACROD permit is displayed.
