Parking is free after 5pm and all weekend (unless signposted otherwise) only. Outside of these times, you are required to pay for parking. Motorcycle parking is free at all times in designated areas.
You can pay by credit card at the parking machines ($3.00 per hour) or pay-as-you-go through the EasyPark app which allows you to stop your parking earlier or add on additional time, depending on your needs. Regardless of how you pay, you should always check the parking signs for restrictions.

Airport transfers
Perth’s main airport is Perth Airport. Information about getting to and from the airport by car, rideshare/taxi, or by public transport is available on the airport website. Depending on time of day, traffic to and from the airport varies.
Perth
Perth strikes an easy balance between urban style and untamed natural beauty, capturing a distinctly Australian spirit. With its immersive experiences and easy access to a variety of day trips, the country’s sunniest capital offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.
Discover Perth’s creative energy through its colourful street art, cultural precincts and lively entertainment hubs. You can also join an Aboriginal walking tour through Kings Park (Kaarta Koomba), a vast inner-city oasis and one of the largest parks of its kind in the world. Along the coast and waterfront, restaurants serve up exceptional dining experiences, while the nearby Swan Valley invites you to explore its wineries and artisan producers.
Venture further to explore the coastline, from the relaxed port city of Fremantle (Walyalup), known for its role in Australia’s craft beer scene, to the clear waters and island escapes off Rockingham and Mandurah (Mandjoogoordap), where dolphins are often spotted close to shore. On Rottnest Island (Wadjemup), you can encounter the famous quokkas along with a range of other native wildlife.
Perth City sits on the ancient lands of the Whadjuk Noongar people, the Traditional Custodians of south-west Western Australia for more than 45,000 years. Over the past two centuries, urban development has significantly reshaped the landscapes and natural features that were once central to Noongar culture, traditions, and way of life.
