Parking spaces designated for persons with a disability are provided throughout Ipswich to assist mobility-impaired people to access all areas of the city. Council's Parking Map shows the location of on-street parking spaces set aside for
these users in the Ipswich city centre.
Motorists issued with an Australian Disability Parking Permit (organisation and individual) are entitled to:
- Park in any space provided for a person with a disability in on-street or off-street parking locations such as shopping centres, hospitals, etc.
- Park in local government metered or regulated parking areas free of charge for the following periods:
- 30 minutes or less where the time limit specified by a sign is 30 minutes
- Unlimited time period where the time limit specified by a sign is 30 minutes or more
Queensland Disability Parking Permit (red permit) holders are entitled to:
- Park in any designated disability parking bay identified by the international symbol of access (regardless of colour) in off-street locations, including hospitals and shopping centres.
- However, permit holders are not permitted to park in restricted parking zones, e.g. clearways, no stopping and bus zones
