Car share parking
Car share parking is an efficient use of parking space because one shared vehicle can replace several private vehicles that would otherwise compete for local parking. Car share also reduces overheads for residents who don't need to own a car.
Council supports car sharing as a part of its drive to:
- reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
- reduce on-street parking demand;
- reduce congestion and the competition for parking spaces; and
- encourage active lifestyles by reducing dependency on private cars
Car share operators provide access to vehicles for members of their operators. It does not apply to ‘peer-to-peer’ car rental service where an individual provides public access to their own privately registered vehicle for a fee.
Car share dedicated parking bays are reserved for car share vehicles of the operator on the sign. Each designated car share bay will include the name of the relevant authorised car share operator.

The Inner West is where it all began. In 2002, Newtown locals Nic Lowe and Bruce Jeffreys launched GoGet at the Newtown Festival. They asked thousands of Inner West residents if they'd trade private car ownership for access to a fleet of cars parked in their neighbourhood. The enthusiastic response marked the birth of GoGet. Today, with plenty of cars in the area, your next adventure is just a booking away.
