What is the RPS?
The Resident Parking Scheme (RPS) allows eligible residents to obtain a parking permit to park without time limits in a Resident Parking Zone in their Area. This is an initiative aimed at improving amenity for road users in locations where there is insufficient off-street parking and where on-street parking is restricted.
Where are the RPS zones?
The RPS spans across parts of Bondi Beach, Bondi Junction, Bronte, Charing Cross, Queens Park and Tamarama. Currently there are 14 areas.

Why are we conducting an RPS review?
The purpose of the RPS review is to:
- Acknowledge the changing conditions within our residential streets.
- Identify the ongoing challenges, issues and opportunities.
- Develop a robust framework for future RPS reviews.
Some prevalent concerns have been:
- Significant number of requests/petitions for RPS area expansions to include adjoining streets, reconsideration of changes, and concerns with business patronage.
- Ongoing expansion of RPS areas creating flow-on effects to neighbouring areas.
- Oversubscription - this means that there are more permits issued than there are available on-street parking spaces.
