To proactively manage an increase in demand for parking in Ellenbrook Town Centre, the City of Swan has increased parking management as per the Ellenbrook Town Centre Parking Plan below.
Ellenbrook is home to the City’s fastest-growing population, and many social and infrastructure projects are in progress as the City works to activate this precinct for our thriving community.
To support this, the following parking management options have been introduced to make parking as fair and equitable as possible, while alleviating pressure from the town centre:
- Ellenbrook Town Centre Parking Station No. 20 will provide all-day paid parking from Monday to Friday between 8am-5pm at $8.40 per day or $2.10 per hour. The first two hours of parking are free
- Ellenbrook Town Centre on-street parking will provide a 3P paid ticket (maximum three-hour parking) from Monday to Friday between 8am-5pm at $2.60 per hour. The first hour of parking is free.

This plan will ensure that the most convenient parking is available for the highest priority users.
