Approved pay parking devices

Under the mandatory RTA Pay Parking guidelines, the RTA is responsible for approving the means of, and schemes for, payment to be used for ticket and coupon parking schemes prior to their first use in New South Wales.

Also under the current legislation, meter or ticket parking machines which are to use payment methods other than cash (i.e. notes or coins) must be approved for use by the RTA.

The list below indicates the currently approved devices.

It is important to note that:

1. While the RTA does not need to review the operation of these devices again, the decision to use one of them does not in any way constitute approval of the scheme proposing to use an approved device.
2. Any machine not listed is not precluded from use in a pay parking scheme. However, the device requires RTA approval prior to use. [It is recommended that this approval be sought prior to entering into any contractural agreement with the manufacturer.]
3. The request for approval to use a 'new' device can be made by either the manufacturer/distributor or the parking authority wishing to use the device.
