Note 1: Parking when no Mobility Parking Permit is displayed:
It is important that areas reserved for disabled parking areas are only used by those who are genuinely disabled. For this reason we ask our kerbside staff to ensure all vehicles stopping in these designated areas display a valid Mobility Parking Permit.
In order to assist people picking up a disabled passenger where the driver does not have a Mobility Parking Permit, Sydney Airport has the following policy:
In the event a vehicle is picking up disabled passengers, but does not display a Mobility Parking Permit, the driver may utilise the disabled zones, however the disabled passenger must be waiting at the kerbside and should produce a valid Mobility Parking Permit on request of a parking officer.
Note 2: Security Restrictions:
Due to recent worldwide events there have been increased security procedures implemented at all airports throughout Australia. Sydney Airport must abide by the security regulations determined by the Commonwealth Government. Apart from the T2 public pick-up area which is located away from the Terminals there are no exceptions to the rule that drivers must remain with the vehicle at each of the disabled zones described above.
Should the driver need to leave the vehicle to assist the passenger, there are a number of alternate options available, including:
Option 1 Arranging for a third person to travel to the airport with the driver to escort the disabled person/s into the Terminal whilst the driver remains with the vehicle.
Option 2 Pre-arranging for airline staff to assist the disabled person/s to the Terminal whilst ensuring the vehicle is not left unattended at any stage.
Option 3 There are public transport vehicles that are able to transfer you to the airport and drop you at the Terminal frontage including Taxis, Trains (platforms underneath each Terminal), Hire Cars and Buses.
Option 4 Parking your vehicle in a disabled parking position located in the car park within close proximity to each Terminal and escorting the disabled person to the Terminal safely
