The bright orange Neuron E-Scooters will make travel between Rare Spares Rockynats Precincts a breeze! There will be allocated Neuron Scooter parking bays at each precinct. 

Spectator Parking

  • Buddy’s Fire Burnout Precinct |  Update 4 April - The heavy rain through the week on the cricket grounds where the paid parking is at the Burnouts Precinct has not drained away enough to allow vehicle movement on the field. There are some areas with ankle deep water and vehicles would get bogged. On-street parking is still available, and spectators can also catch the free bus between the precincts - Showgrounds, Burnouts and Stocklands today PLUS CBD for Saturday and Sunday.
  • Showgrounds Precinct | Free on-street parking
  • CBD Precinct | Free on-street parking and free parking at 135 Alma Street carpark

Illegal parking, or parking causing an impediment for a local resident to access their home or business will be monitored and will result in a fine or the vehicle being towed (at owners expense).

Accessible Parking

There are a number of accessible parking spots available at all precincts outside the Road Closure. 

Patrons must clearly display a current Government issued Disability Parking Permit to access these parking spots. Accessible parks will be monitored and enforced by Council Local Laws Department and will be signed appropriately.
