Pre-booking Monthly and Daily Parking in Richmond
Located just 3 kilometres outside the Melbourne CBD, Richmond has been voted the coolest neighbourhood in Australia in 2021 for good reason.
This suburb offers not just a short commute to the CBD for university students and workers alike, but is also a multicultural hub that caters to any taste with its extensive range of places to eat and drink.
Its close proximity to the Melbourne Cricket Ground or the ‘G’ and Melbourne’s Olympic Parks also makes it the place to be for sports fans and event goers alike.
While there’s no shortage of what Richmond can offer, there’s one common challenge for those who rely on driving in the inner-city suburbs of Melbourne: finding convenient and cheap parking spaces.
In a city like Melbourne where 88% of locals drive daily, having access to proper parking is essential. Unfortunately, finding cheap parking that is also convenient and secure can be a struggle in many suburbs, including Richmond.
With Richmond being home to the MCG and Melbourne’s Olympic Parks, which host hundreds of events each year ranging from game day matches to grand finals, and exclusive concerts (including the much anticipated Taylor Swift’s Eras tour!), parking availability in the area fluctuates significantly throughout the month.
In fact, Parkhound’s survey showed 47% of Melbournians take 5-10 minutes to find parking close to work, with Richmond being one of the worst suburbs for parking - coming in third after Swanston St and Bourke St.

Common questions about parking in Richmond VIC
How much is daily parking in Richmond?
The cost of parking in Richmond can vary depending on the location and duration of your stay. Daily off-street parking in Richmond can cost you anywhere from $7 to $60 a day.
Unfortunately, there’s no council operated car parks in the area, so most commuters rely on commercial or traditionally operated parking facilities.
Meanwhile, finding street parking in Richmond can be tough due to limited availability and time restrictions. Additionally, some spaces are reserved for city parking permit holders.
If you want to try your luck with street parking, you can attempt parking in quieter areas, but always check for signage to avoid getting a parking ticket.
Parking during peak hours and MCG events are also especially scarce, so plan for extra time if you’re going to the venue or need to find a parking space during these busy periods.
And while there’s some affordable event parking around the MCG, particularly at Allowah Terrace, you'll need to get there early on game day to secure a spot.
Off-street Daily Parking Costs in Richmond
Option | Price | Reservation | |
---|---|---|---|
Traditional Operators | From $14/day | Unreserved | |
Parkhound | From $5/day | Reserved |
Based on these rates, Parkhound offers the cheapest parking options in Richmond. Additionally, drivers get the peace of mind that they will have a convenient parking experience with Parkhound.
How much is monthly parking in Richmond?
Monthly parking costs in Richmond clocks in at around $195 to $252 per month.
Notably, Richmond has fewer parking garages than some neighbouring suburbs, making it difficult to find an affordable and secure parking space near where you work or live. For monthly parking, some private and council parking options in nearby areas can cost you as much as $480/month.
For most commercial parking operators, you’ll need to contact them first to receive a quote for monthly parking in Richmond. Pricing can change depending on the current occupancy of the car park, location and whether you would like a reserved or unreserved space.
A reserved spot often will be at a premium price, whereas unreserved spaces can sometimes have early bird parking deals. Keep in mind, early bird means that you’ll need to arrive and leave by a certain time.
Just be mindful that drive up parking at commercial parking operators can cost double the pre-booked price. Additionally, most council and on-street parking spots aren’t reserved, so you may need to be early to find a space.
So how much money can you save on monthly parking fees with Parkhound? Let’s compare the following rates:
Monthly parking costs in Richmond
Option | Price | Reservation | |
---|---|---|---|
Council Parking Bays | From $250/month | Unreserved | |
Traditional Operators | From $195/month | Unreserved | |
