Foreshore parking permits allow you to park free in the identified foreshore car parks in Frankston and Seaford. There are two different types:
- ratepayer permit
- tenant permit
Updated process for ratepayers
New Foreshore parking permits, valid until September 2026, will be included with your annual rates notice. Residential ratepayers who receive their rates notice by email will also receive their permits by mail.
You will still need to apply online for Tenant Permits and to purchase additional Residential Ratepayer Permits.
If you haven't received your Foreshore parking permits with your rates notice, please request a reissue online by selecting Foreshore Parking Permits.
Please note that commercial ratepayers are not eligible for this permit.
To be eligible to receive a Foreshore parking permit, you must be the ratepayer of a residential property or the tenant of a residential property.
Please note that permits are valid for cars only. Boats, buses, trailers, trucks, caravans or motorcycles are not considered applicable vehicles.
Tenants applying for a Foreshore parking permit must also produce evidence of residency such as:
- a current drivers licence
- utility bill (not a mobile phone)
- residential lease agreement.
