The AGPC is offering some residents in the St Kilda, Albert Park and South Melbourne postcodes a free community day park pass.
Residents and business owners within the postcodes 3182, 3205, 3206 and 3004 (only on presentation of a 1-83 Queens Road address) must show a valid photo ID with their address to receive a day pass. This ticket does not allow for guest passes.
We are working closely with the AGPC to minimise the disruption to Port Phillip residents and businesses as well as leveraging opportunities for our local traders.
Stay and play in Port Phillip
Yarra Trams is providing shuttle buses from the ground to the Casino that will stop at Clarendon Street so that visitors and residents can enjoy South Melbourne's wonderful bars, restaurants and shops.
Yarra Trams will also run additional services down Fitzroy Street to Luna Park. This means there will be a more frequent tram service in this area which will make Acland Street more accessible to Grand Prix patrons.
There's a whole lot for Grand Prix enthusiasts and locals to do after the event. Check out our What's On list to discover some great pit stops for you to refuel and continue the celebrations.
Parking
In 2023, City of Port Phillip, together with the AGPC, is continuing with the parking management approach first trialled during the 2022 Grand Prix with some adjustments based on the findings of our evaluation (results of the evaluation can be found here: Grand Prix parking and traffic - City of Port Phillip).
Temporary 90-minute parking restrictions will apply in the Local Parking Area during the four-day event period, from Thursday 30 March to Sunday 2 April. As part of these changes:
- Existing 4P or unrestricted zones will be adjusted to 90-minute zones.
- Existing 2P or permit zones which only operate Monday to Friday (or Monday to Saturday) will be adjusted to also include Saturday and Sunday.
- Existing Loading zones, clearways or Disabled parking bays will not be modified.
- All properties within the Local Parking Area will receive two temporary parking permits in the mail to exempt them from temporary parking changes.
Council's parking enforcement officers will patrol and enforce all signposted parking restrictions. All vehicles must comply with signposted parking zones or display a valid parking permit to be exempt from time limit restrictions. Illegally parked vehicles will be subject to fines and towaways for obstructing access.
Temporary parking restrictions will apply in the highlighted area of the below map.
The GP is a Victorian Government event run by the AGPC.
