- simple to use
- virtual
- self service

Casual parking
An alternative to vPermit is the CellOPark-as-you-go (PAYG)
system. The PAYG system enables users to
pay only for the time they park. This
option is available to students, visitors and anyone not eligible for a
vPermit. After completing a one-time registration, users can start and stop
their parking using the CellOPark app or by calling 02 8599 9747 from their
mobile phone. Visit www.cellopark.com.au to register or
