FAQs
I’ve forgotten my Local Access Permit, can I still get through to my house?
No. Access to streets within the traffic management area during affected hours will only be available by showing a FIFA Local Access Permit. Traffic management will be in place from three (3) hours prior to each match start time until one and a half (1.5) hours after the match ends.
You will be able to access your property by foot to retrieve your permit, but your vehicle will not be able to enter without the permit.
Why can't I just show my drivers licence, and why are permits limited?
The FIFA Women’s World Cup is the world's largest women’s sporting event. It is anticipated to draw large crowds and so public safety is paramount.
FIFA have been working closely with WA Police to ensure safety measures for this large scale event are in place whilst trying to minimise disruption for local residents and businesses.
The permit system has been put in place to identity you as an approved person prior to entering the event zone, providing quicker access and safer, more efficient management of local roads.
We want to make sure everyone is able to get to their home or business easily and safely.
Can I have more than two Local Access Permits?
No. A maximum of two Local Access Permits will be issued to each household.
What can I use as proof of residency or business?
We ask you to upload either your rates notice, utility bill or lease agreement.
I own a business within the closures, where can my customers park?
Customers will need to park outside the restricted area and access your business by foot.
Where is the best place to park when visiting the stadium?
Parking near the venue is limited.
Due to the expected number of attendees, it is recommended spectators use public transport to get to the stadium. Perth Rectangular Stadium (HBF Park) is only minutes from the Perth CBD with a number of public transport services. You can find your best route via bus, train or ferry on the Transperth website.
Travel across all Transperth bus, train and ferry services is included with your ticket.
Will my personal information be stated on the permit?
No. The only information displayed on your permit will be your vehicle registration and the street where you live, or your business name.
The City will use your details to send further updates and to attempt to contact you by phone if your vehicle is in the tow away zone during the restricted period.
Your contact details will be stored in the City’s records system in compliance with our privacy policy. Your information will not be disclosed to any outside agency.
