Appeal a parking fine

If you believe your fine should be withdrawn, you can appeal it. We will do an internal review of the fine and advise you of the outcome. You can only do one review for each fine.

Before appealing your fine, you should view the photos taken of your parking infringement. You will need to enter your infringement number and vehicle registration to view the photos.

We also recommend you review what is a valid reason for withdrawal and what isn't a valid reason for withdrawal before submitting your application.

Appealing before a magistrate

You also have the option to dispute your fine before a magistrate. Please let us know if you would like to do this.

You will receive a summons advising the date, time and place of your hearing. If your appeal is successful the fine will be dropped. However if you are unsuccessful, you will be liable for the fine plus additional court and Council costs.
