We offer a range of parking payment options to make parking easier and reduce congestion, particularly in beach and reserve carparks 

Parking can be paid digitally using the EasyPark or NSW Government Park’nPay apps, or EasyPark’s virtual meters. Pay-by-plate parking machines are also available.

Note, parking fees do not apply if you display a valid Northern Beaches Beach Parking Permit in eligible locations.

Parking fees

1 May to 30 September (off-peak)

$8 per hour or $35 per day

1 October to 30 April (peak)

$10 per hour or $40 per day

Rowland Reserve

$6.50 per hour or $27 per 24 hours (off peak) 
$8 per hour or $30.50 per 24 hours (peak)

Rowland Reserve is not a day fee but a 24-hour fee.

Due to limited internet connectivity, Park’nPay is not activated in the Bilgola Beach carpark or Whale Beach carparks at this time. But don't worry, if you don't have the app, you can still use our pay and display machines (Mastercard, Visa and coin payments) and display the ticket on your dashboard.

App-based parking

You can pay for parking using your smartphone with either of the following apps:

  • EasyPark (the newest parking app available in the Northern Beaches)
  • Park’nPay

There is no additional service fee for using a parking app.

Neither app require you to ‘top up’ your account or maintain a wallet to pay for parking. Simply pay for the time parked.

Parking meters

Parking meters will be available in paid Northern Beaches carparks.

Customers who do not wish to use a parking app or virtual meter can continue to pay at pay-by-plate machines using Mastercard or Visa. Tickets will no longer be required to be displayed on a vehicle dashboard.

Parking rates and instructions on how to purchase a pay & display parking ticket are displayed on all parking machines. Each parking machine accepts coins (10c, 20c, 50c $1 and $2) and offers a card insert and tap and go facility for credit cards (Visa and MasterCard only).

If you’re using a machine that issues tickets, display it on your vehicle's dashboard, visible through your windscreen or in the case of a motorcycle a special holder.

Virtual parking meters

Virtual parking meters will be available in selected Northern Beaches carparks.

These meters are provided through our digital parking system delivered by EasyPark and allow customers to pay for parking digitally without downloading an app.

How it works

Hold your smartphone against the meter for approximately three seconds, then follow the prompts in the web portal to start and pay for your parking session.
