New changes by the Norwood, Payneham and St Peters Council, will give people who hold residential permits, seven days of parking on their street, before their cars have to be moved.

Also under the new system, people using a visitors’ permit will be given six hours of parking before they have to move their cars, with the changes coming into effect from July 1.
