Urgent announcement: Kingston parking permits

21 December 2018

Council has recently been alerted to a fault with the suction cups used to stick our parking permits to the windscreen.

A small number of cases have been reported where the suction cup appears to have acted as a magnifying glass, resulting in damage to the dashboard.

It is therefore recommended that the suction cup be removed from all permits.

Instead, simply tuck the permit between your car’s dashboard and the windscreen (as per below photo) and, where possible, make sure the expiry date (and therefore part of the silver block) is visible so it’s easy to determine if the permit is valid.

We are now working with the supplier on a solution. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please share this information with anyone that needs to know.

Note: this does not apply to green Foreshore Permits.
