Appealing a parking ticket

You can be issued with parking infringement for the following reasons

• Parking on broken yellow lines
• Parking on the footpath
• You parked a vehicle on a road with an expired warrant of fitness or registration
• You overstayed the time limit in your parking space
• Parked over or obstructing a vehicle entrance

All parking fees are set by Government not by Council. Fines vary depending on the type of infringement and length of time overstayed.

Here's the legislation that gives Council to issue infringements.

Our parking officers can also issue infringements for expired certificates of fitness (heavy motor vehicles), warrants of fitness and registrations.
