EasyPark Phone App

The City of Launceston is offering the award-winning EasyPark pay-by-phone service across paid parking areas.

Using the EasyPark parking app offers a flexible option for parking across the City. The app allows for you to choose your parking location, and easily start/finish your parking within the relevant time zone limits. The app allows you to register your vehicle's registration number for easy parking payments across the City. 

EasyPark zones can be found on the parking machine and street signs at the entry and exit to the zone or by using the location services on the EasyPark app. Please remember to confirm your registration is correct and that you are in the right zone before making payment.

How to use the Easypark app

You have just discovered the most efficient way to pay for your parking and avoid parking fines, overpayment and slow parking machines. Using the EasyPark app is simple and gives you virtual control of your parking from wherever you are. It's easy and quick!

  1. Login: Follow the instructions on the screen.
  2. Start parking: Select a parking time by spinning the wheel.
  3. Ongoing parking: Stop or extend the parking time as you need.

Following your registration you can start parking immediately. You will also receive a welcome letter by email with useful information about EasyPark. You can start a parking session with EasyPark before the paid parking time starts, and only pay for the time that the parking is for a fee.

For example, you may start a parking session a 7am, but if the paid parking time only begins at 8am you will only pay for your parking time from 8am. EasyPark will automatically stop charging you for your parking when the parking is for free. For example, you may start a parking session at 4pm until 6pm. But, if the parking in the parking area is free of charge from 5pm EasyPark will limit your parking session (and your payment) to 5pm.

Frequently Asked Questions

I use several cars - can I still use EasyPark?

You can register an unlimited number of cars in one EasyPark account. When parking you simply select the registration number of the car you want to park.

Can I use EasyPark if I don’t have a smartphone?

You can use EasyPark regardless of the type of phone you have. Parking can be started by calling 1300-73-40-70 and then following the simple voice prompts.

How does the parking inspector know that I have paid?

Parking attendants use a PDA to check the number plate of your car against the EasyPark database in real-time to check for paid parking. Because the registration number is checked when issuing a fine, our in-built software ensures that you will not get a parking fine if you are legally parked.

Where can I use the service?

Wherever you see an EasyPark sign, or check our website for our convenient locations. In Tasmania, Hobart, Devonport and Burnie City Councils all use the EasyPark system.

Can several phone numbers be connected to the same car?

Yes, it’s possible to connect several cars to each user account (mobile number), and several phone numbers to account. For example, one car can be connected to everyone in a family.

How many cars can I register with EasyPark?

As many as you like. When you go to start your parking session, simply select which registration number is attached to your car and begin your parking session.

How can I change my account information?

By logging into your account on the web, or our Smartphone App, or by calling Customer Service.

What if I forget to end the parking session?

A parking session will never go on longer than the time you initially set for the session, or the max possible parking time in a given area. In addition, you will receive a parking reminder fifteen minutes before the end-time so that you have the chance to extend your parking.

How long do I have to sign-up for?

EasyPark has no binding contract period so you are free to cancel your subscription at any time (refer to our Terms & Conditions)

What is my responsibility as the user of the system?
