Did you know Devonport pensioners can get free parking in Council carparks and metered spaces?

If you’re a Devonport resident with a valid Aged, Service, or Disability Pension Card (and your car’s registered in your name in Tasmania), you can apply for a digital permit – no sticker needed!

Apply online via the Pensioner Parking Application Form on Council's website, or visit our Customer Service counter on Level 2 of the paranaple Building with your pension card and rego papers.

Time limits still apply – but the parking’s on us.

Look at these creations one of our lovely and very talented participants is making, with the assistance of her wonderful support workers. These blankets are amazing ....so much so that one of them is currently on display at the local art gallery. Well done Mrs S. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
