Parking in Newtown

Parkhound started in 2015, motivated by the goal of helping Drivers find and book parking as easily as ordering a Domino's pizza. We realised there were 1000s of untapped and underutilised spaces across the country, which could be used to help solve Sydney’s parking problems. In NSW alone, 60% of parking spaces aren’t being used throughout the day, many near Transport hubs and CBDs.

Our online parking marketplace now has over 50,000 parking spaces across Australia. Not only are we helping give space back to communities, you can also save time and money thanks to our fantastic local Hosts.

To find suitable parking, start by searching the suburb or address. We’ll present you with a wide range of options from driveways to undercover car parks. You can tailor your search by space type, price and amenities such as EV charging. Parking agreements are flexible so you can pick short or long term arrangements that best suit your needs. Once you’ve found a space that meets your needs, submit a booking request. Our Hosts will typically respond within the first 24 hours. Once confirmed, you can arrange handover of the access device and start parking!

There’s not many monthly parking options for Newtown commuters. The Inner West City council does offer parking permits to residents and local businesses, but you do need to meet their requirements and the space isn’t reserved for you. There is one council operated car park in Newtown, Lennox Street Car Park, but it’s only suitable for short-term stays. Secure Parking does have two parking lots in the area, Newtown Central and Dendy Newtown, but neither appear to offer long term parking options. For traditional monthly parking options, you could try the neighbouring suburb of Camperdown with prices starting at $300/month.

Parking costs in Newtown

With Parkhound, you can take your pick of over 130 spaces around Newtown. For monthly parking, prices start at $225/month for a space reserved for your exclusive use.

For daily parking in Newtown, you should expect to pay between $10 and $16/day. Most on-street parking in the area is metered, with stays limited to 1-2 hours and if you’re lucky, 4 hours in the evening. Be careful not to park in residential permit only areas as you’ll risk a fine. The Lennox St Car Park, run by the Inner West City Council, allows you to park for 2 hours with a paid ticket from 8am to 10pm 7 days a week. It costs $2.40 per hour so it’s an ideal option for short-term stays. Unfortunately, you can’t pre book online so it’s a bit of luck as to whether there'll be a space available.

For traditional operators, maximum fees are around $15 - $16/day but if you want to park your car overnight, be prepared to pay over $60.
