On-street parking sensors are being installed in Knox from August 2023 across exiting restricted parking areas. There will be no changes to existing parking time limits, the infringement process, or fine amounts. However, customers should be aware the time a vehicle enters a car space is the time the sensor will begin tracking the use of the parking bay.
Council currently has in-ground parking sensors installed at the following locations.
| Suburb | Locations |
|---|---|
| Bayswater |
|
| Boronia |
|
| Wantirna |
|
| Wantirna South |
|
| Upper Ferntree Gully |

Sensors are extremely accurate and reliable. Regular testing is also conducted to ensure they are working correctly.
Many other councils across Victoria have installed them due to their proven technology.
Sensors are small electronic devices that are installed in the ground underneath parking bays to detect and record when a vehicle enters or departs the bay.
When a vehicle moves in to a space, the sensor is activated and records the arrival time.
If a vehicle overstays the maximum time permitted, officers are notified and can investigate if an offence has occurred.
The data collected by the sensors will not be tracked. It will be used to assess parking use and identify where future improvements can be made for the benefit of our community.
There will be no changes to existing parking times or how parking fines are issued. Whilst the sensors will allow the parking officers to be more efficient, the same grace periods will apply.
Please contact Knox City Council via [email protected] or call 9298 8000 prior to the start of any works.
No, there will be no changes to the Accessible Parking Permit Scheme or the obligations and rights of drivers with mobility permits.
