Types of parking and costs

Council offers free, timed off-street car parks and paid, on-street, multi-bay parks with meters that accept payment via coins or PayStay. Also be advised of privately-owned car parks which are not operated by Council.

Off-street car parks

Parking is FREE in all Council-owned off-street car parks only. Time limits and infringements will still apply. Free off-street parking does not apply to on-street parking, private car parks such as CarePark, GV Health and the Multi-deck car parks. Please view our parking map to find free off-street parking, all day and long stay car parking.

Within the CBD and surrounds, free, timed off-street car parks are located at:

Welsford Street/Wyndham Mall

2 hour limit – 26 spaces including five disabled.

High/Rowe Streets

Please be careful to observe posted time limits at these locations. Parking for longer than the posted time limit may incur a fine. 

There is also free all-day parking in various locations around the CBD. Please check the Parking Map for locations.

Parking meters

With some parking spaces, you need to pay a small fee using the nearby ticket meter machine, or using your phone. Parking ticket machines typically charge $1.50 per hour.

On-street multi-bay meters accept all coins other than five cent coins. It is important to have the right change for a parking meter before you park, and note the applicable time limit. You only need to pay for the time you plan to be parked, but you may not park for longer than the time limit even if you pay for it.

You can also use the PayStay mobile app to pay for your parking in the CBD with your phone. See our PayStay page for more details.

Free weekend parking

Parking is currently free on Saturday and Sunday (with the exception of the privately owned car parks), however time limits still apply and are enforced.

Privately owned car parks

The multi-deck car park located at 14-40 Stewart Street, Shepparton is a privately owned and operated facility. The off-street car park on the corner of Maude and Vaughan Streets is also privately owned, as with the off-street parking at GV Health, Graham Street, Shepparton. 

Please carefully view on-site signage for parking conditions, costs and time limits before parking. Council will not be responsible for vehicles parked at these locations. 

Time limits

Time limits are necessary because they allow us to make sure everybody has a fair chance to find the right park for their purpose.

Time limits are shown on the kerbside signs and at the entrances to parking areas. The time limit applies to a section of road or a parking area and not just the bay in which you have parked. So, once the time limit has expired, you must move your vehicle out of that area. It’s not permissible to move your vehicle to another bay in the same area. You are also not allowed to simply put more coins in the meter.
