1. Time Limit Compliance  

• Vehicles parked in designated timed parking zones (e.g., zones marked with "4P" indicating a 4-hour limit) must vacate the zone before or at the expiry of the posted time limit.
• Once a vehicle has used the maximum allowable time in a specific parking zone, it may not return to that same zone.
• If you park in a timed parking zone in Kings Park and Botanic Garden (e.g. 4-hour limit) and you leave earlier than when your time is up, you cannot return to that same parking zone within 2 hours. 

2. Definition of Parking Zone 

• A "parking zone" refers to an individual carpark or a stretch of road between two intersecting roads.
• Returning to any part of the same defined zone within the restricted period may result in a parking infringement notice. 

3. Re-parking Restrictions 

• Moving your vehicle within the same zone or leaving and returning later does not reset the time limit.
• Parking inspectors may issue fines if they detect that your vehicle has previously occupied the zone and exceeded the permitted duration earlier in the day.

• Time limits are clearly displayed on kerbside or on-street signage using the format of a number followed by "P" (e.g., "4P" = 4-hour limit).
• It is the responsibility of the driver to observe and comply with all posted signage. 

5. Purpose of Regulation
