Parking tickets

🅿️ Are you eligible for a parking ticket refund?
📣 If you received and paid an infringement for failing to activate the parking meter in a metered space between 1 July 2022 and 29 February 2024 you are eligible for a refund.  Click here to learn more.

If you park, or even stop, in a restricted area, you could be issued with a ticket. Restricted areas include broken yellow lines, bus stops and pedestrian crossings.  Council’s parking compliance staff also issue tickets to vehicles failing to display current warrants of fitness and registration labels.

If you park on an access parking space or disabled parking space without a permit, you will be issued with a ticket.  If you park at a metered space you can only stay for the time limit stated on the meter and then you must move on.

If you receive a parking ticket you have 28 days to pay or 56 days to submit a written explanation to the Council. The reverse side of the ticket lists your rights of appeal. If you own a vehicle you are liable for any tickets it may receive, even if you were not driving the vehicle when the tickets were issued.

If you own a vehicle and have a ticket sent to you but you were not the driver at the time of the offence and you choose to transfer liability for this offence, you must complete a Statutory Declaration form.
