If you contact NT Parks, they can give you a contact number for the ranger at Simpsons Gap. They will allow you to park there near the helipad for free. There is some limited risk associated but it's much less than parking in town. This does then add the problem of transport from Simpsons back to the Alice. I solved this by starting my walk there, with an out and back to Alice via a combination of the Larapinta and the cycle tracks.
My car was there for 12 days without any issues. It's not visible from the access road and the rangers generally go in there regularly although they won't take any responsibility if anything happens.
