The AGPC is offering some residents within the St Kilda, Albert Park and South Melbourne postcodes a free community day park pass, which includes free access to all grandstands on Thursday 7 April.
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.
Community day tickets can be collected from the ticket booths located at gates 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 10.
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 after a particularly hard two years.
In response to some issues raised by the community about the previous traffic management during the GP, we are trialling a new approach for 2022. We will replace the previous physical barricades around Middle Park and Albert Park with temporary parking changes to 2P Thursday to Sunday 8 am to 6 pm to discourage GP visitors from parking in residential streets. The trial aims to provide ease of access to residents and visitors to local businesses, schools and community centres in the area.
All properties within the affected area will receive two temporary parking permits in the mail exempting them from the temporary parking changes.
Our Council and the AGPC will be conducting an evaluation to measure the success of the trial.
The GP is a Victorian Government event run by the AGPC.
