Approved pay parking devices and systems

Under the Roads and Maritime Services (formerly the Roads and Traffic Authority) pay parking guidelines, Roads and Maritime Services is responsible for evaluating and approving any proposed new parking meter, ticket machine pay-by-phone parking system or coupon parking scheme 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 Roads and Maritime Services.

The lists below indicate the currently approved devices and systems.

It is important to note that:

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