Pre-booking Monthly and Daily Parking in Docklands

Parkhound is an online marketplace, helping Australians optimise the use of a very valuable commodity: space. Surveys have found that in Victoria there are over 40% of parking spaces that aren’t being used during the day. And that’s just one type of parking that’s being underutilised. At Parkhound, we figured that the drivers queueing for parking in busy car parks could simply make use of these available spots and solve their Docklands parking woes forever. Parkhound makes this possible by connecting local homeowners or small businesses with unused garages, driveways and other parking spots, with local drivers who need them.

Parkhound facilitates the entire process from showcasing parking options to helping users browse, pay and book their spots. It’s reserved for your personal use, so no more moving your car 2-3 times a day or wasting time and fuel looking for unused spaces.

Your Parkhound journey can be as a Host or as a Renter.

Hosts create informative listings that showcase available spaces, whether it’s an unused spot in a car park or an empty driveway. You set your rate and wait for booking requests. As a Host, you can earn as much as $450/month of additional income.

Anyone using Parkhound to look for parking can browse these listings according to areas they want to park in. With over 50,000 locations across the country, you’re bound to find a spot closer to your office or home. Use the filters to narrow your search and then request a booking, make a payment and communicate with your Host to arrange handover of your access device.

For daily or monthly parking Docklands locals now have a much easier solution with Parkhound!

Despite only being 2km from Melbourne’s CBD, Docklands monthly parking can cost around $50 to $150 cheaper for a parking spot. You can expect to pay around $360 to $450 a month for a permanent park in Docklands.

You can find permanent parking options at shopping centres such as The District Docklands, but you will need to get in contact with the car park managers to get a quote. Prices will change depending on current availability and whether you want to reserve the space. For a reserved space, you are looking at around $90 a month extra. There are no council operated car parks, but there are several commercial operators including Marvel Stadium.

Due to limited on-street supply, the City of Melbourne does not have a residential permit parking scheme in Docklands. Unfortunately for apartment residents that don’t have a parking space included in their lease, parking can get difficult and expensive. With Parkhound, you can reserve an off-street parking space close to your home starting at $250/month.

Parking costs in Docklands

While there’s a few carparks, such as The District Docklands, that offer the first 90 minutes of parking free of charge, parking can get quite expensive during weekdays. It can cost you anywhere from $16 to $49 a day. There’s also a number of car parks that only allow you to stay for 1 to 2 hours, so you’ll need to make sure you move your car to avoid a fine.

Most on-street parking in Docklands is metered and timed. It costs $4 an hour for the first two hours, $2.50 for the third and $2.20 for the fourth. From there forward, if there’s no time limit on the signs, it costs $1 an hour. You can pay for on-street parking using the Council’s PayStay app or at a parking meter or ticket machine.

Off-street Daily Parking Costs in Docklands

Unlike traditional operators, with Parkhound your daily parking space is reserved for you and you have access 24/7.

Keep an eye out for great daily deals. You can often secure $10 event parking from commercial operators like Marvel Stadium. At Parkhound, we also offer $5/day parking rates on some special occasions in conjunction with our partners like CarePark.
