Residential parking restrictions for Bulleen
To address community concerns about construction workers parking in local streets during North East Link Project (NELP) works, we’re introducing temporary parking restrictions in Bulleen.
These restrictions aim to reduce the impact of Spark (NELP Tunnels contractor) construction workers parking in local streets, which is affecting safety, restricting access for emergency and waste vehicles, and affecting liveability for residents.
Community consultation outcomes
Thank you for taking part in our community consultation during April 2025, when we asked for your preferred options to address these parking issues.
The results showed a strong preference for 2P Permit parking on both sides of the road for most of the area south of Manningham Road.
In response to your feedback, we implemented parking restrictions in the streets marked in pink and blue below from July 2025.

The parking restrictions will remain in place until the end of the North East Link construction works, currently anticipated for 2028.
We’ll continue to monitor parking activity and community concerns in the broader area north of Manningham Road to assess whether parking restrictions are required.
Another key outcome from our community survey was a clear preference from the community that NELP should provide adequate parking for their workers in dedicated Spark Parking areas. We’re continuing our advocacy to the State Government for a solution to this problem that is impacting our local residents and businesses.
Spark has confirmed a financial contribution towards the cost of implementing parking restrictions and will also reimburse residents for one additional permit upon request.
We will also continue to advocate for full reimbursement of all costs related to the introduction of these restrictions.

Share Bulleen parking restrictions: September update on Facebook Share Bulleen parking restrictions: September update on Twitter Share Bulleen parking restrictions: September update on Linkedin Email Bulleen parking restrictions: September update linkIn July 2025, we introduced parking restrictions in areas of Bulleen to address community concerns about construction workers parking in local streets as part of the North East Link Project (NELP) works.
While we’ve seen positive outcomes where restrictions are in place, we’ve observed and heard from the community that there’s been an increase in construction vehicles parking in the area north of Manningham Road.
In response, we’re introducing further temporary 2P Permit parking restrictions from early October 2025 at:
- Robert Street
- Helene Street
- King Street
- Mangan Street
- Elizabeth Street
- England Street
- Piccadilly Place
- Jindalee Court
- Greenhill Court.
These streets are highlighted in orange on the map below, with existing parking restrictions in place in the streets that are marked blue.

The parking restrictions will finish at the end of the North East Link construction works, currently anticipated for 2028.

Apply for a parking permit
We encourage you to apply for your parking permits as soon as possible, as they may take up to 3 weeks to reach households. Given signage may be in place before the permits are able to be processed and delivered, a grace period will apply for residents.
Other illegal parking will be enforced as usual.
