Apply for a residential parking permit
Local businesses and residents in De Waterkant can apply for a parking permit from the City.
How it works
We are issuing parking permits in De Waterkant as part of a pilot programme aimed at alleviating the shortage of parking in high activity areas.
Demarcated streets in De Waterkant will be reserved for resident-only parking on weekdays from 08:00 to 17:00, and on event days at the DHL Stadium.
De Waterkant residents who can confirm their residential status can apply for a parking permit, which will allow them to park in one of the resident-only parking areas.
