The City of Sydney has implemented a Motorcycle & Scooter Strategy and Action Plan, which also includes some changes to motorcycle and scooter parking in the city.

Key aspects of the Strategy are:

No More Tickets in Timed Areas
Motorcycle and Scooter riders no longer need to buy or display a ticket in the City of Sydney, which includes the CBD, Pyrmont, Redfern, Ultimo, Darlinghurst and Kings Cross. Simply park as you usually would, and remember to observe the time restrictions. If you need to park all day, use an untimed motorcycle-only space instead.

New Untimed Parking Spaces in the City Centre
From early November, the City will add more than 100 new parking spaces to the existing 600 spaces in central Sydney. Some existing areas will be expanded, and new ones created, especially in the northern part of the City, where competition for street parking is high.

Better Security for Motorcycles
Motorbikes and scooters can be vulnerable to theft. The City will begin a trial of anchor points and locking rails for motorcycles in untimed parking areas. Check the City’s website regularly for updates on the location of these spaces.

Discounted Secure Parking
The City of Sydney offers all-day parking in the Goulburn Street parking station for only $5 a day. There is already CCTV monitoring of these bikes, and the City will improve security further with a locking rail and gear lockers.

Cheaper Permits
If you are a City resident, on-street parking permits for your motorcycle or scooter are now half the price of standard car permits.

Motorcyle Parking Locations
Over the past twelve months, the City has substantially increased motorcycle parking space in the CBD and surrounding neighbourhoods. The City will continue to investigate new locations for motorcycle parking, including those suggested by riders.
