Parking

There is time limited pay parking near the Community Centre (mostly 2 hours only), so please make sure you have all day parking which is available at a number of locations nearby if needed. See the additional Parking Map at the bottom of the page.

Note: It is NOT an option to feed the meters in Byron Bay anywhere, as they have strict controls on the amount of time in any given region, so that even if you move your car to another location in the same zone, you may be liable for a fine if you overstay the listed time period allocated to that zone.

If you are in the Festival all day, you will NEED to find ALL DAY parking. We suggest the Butler Street Car Park as indicated in the map below.
