People found in breach of the City's Parking Local Law may receive an infringement notice, also known as a parking fine.
However, we do acknowledge that at times, there may be mitigating circumstances, therefore you have the opportunity to have the infringement reviewed.
All appeals are considered on merit. You must provide any supporting evidence you may have as part of your appeal. For example, medical certificates, mechanic reports, receipts or financial information.
A parking infringement will not be withdrawn if the sole grounds for the appeal are any of those outlined in the below list:
- legal parking was unavailable at the time
- you were not aware of the law (such as parking on a footpath and claiming there was no signposted restriction)
- you were unfamiliar with the area
- you were taking or making a phone call
- you parked in a specific bay not applicable to the vehicle type you were driving
- you were late for appointments or meetings or your transport services were cancelled or delayed
If you were not the driver of an infringed vehicle, a Statutory Declaration is required to provide the details of the person in charge of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence. This Statutory Declaration must be provided to the City within 28 days of the offence.
