A category one permit holder (driver/passenger) is entitled to park a vehicle in a bay reserved only for disabled motorists, for the specified time, or may park a vehicle in any normal parking area or bay for twice the time limit display on any parking signs (upon payment of an initial parking fee, if applicable). This permit type will only be issued to persons with physical impairment.
Category Two
Category two permit holders are not permitted to park in disabled persons’ parking bays.
A category two permit holder (driver/passenger) may park a vehicle in any normal parking area for twice the time limit display on any parking signs (upon payment of any initial parking fee, if applicable).
