Mobility Parking
Parking concessions are granted to people with disabilities who have applied for and received a mobility parking permit or mobility card. The card must be clearly displayed on the dashboard. The membership number must be visible whilst parked in designated mobility parks.
The Parking Concession Scheme for people with physical disabilities
All mobility applications have to be certified by a medical specialist. You can apply for a mobility parking permit through CCS Disability Action or Sommerville Disability Services. Links to both websites are below:
- CCS Disability Action (The forms to be filled out are also available from the Disabilities Resource Centre in King St, Whakatāne, but the mobility parking permit is issued by CCS Disability Action in Tauranga.)
- Sommerville Disability Services
Your disability mobility card must be displayed inside the front windscreen only when the member is using the vehicle. Abuse of the concession will result in the cancellation of your membership. If you are issued with a parking infringement and your card has not been displayed correctly, the infringement stands.
