You have 21 days to pay, appeal the fine or elect to contest the fine in Court.

Council Rangers are responsible for enforcing parking regulations in order to ensure public safety and amenity, however, parking fines are set by Roads and Maritime Services and the NSW Treasury.

Background on legislative changes

The NSW Government’s reforms to the parking fine system, which came into effect on 1 July 2025, require councils to:

  • Attach a parking fine or notification to the vehicle (except in limited circumstances).
  • Provide photographic evidence of the offence to Revenue NSW.
  • Issue fines within seven days of the offence if no notification was attached.
  • Publicly report data on parking fines issued.

These changes aim to restore fairness and transparency to the parking fine system across NSW.

  • A copy of your MPS permit.
  • Expiration date of your MPS permit.
  • Licence plate number of your vehicle.

Council will contact you to confirm your MPS has been registered in our system.

Abandoned vehicles/boats/trailers 

Legislation regarding vehicles/boats/trailers parking came into effect in 2021. All vehicles (eg. cars, trailers and caravans) are treated equally under the new laws.

To summarise, the legislation puts the responsibility on owners and other responsible people for their vehicles/boats/trailers in public spaces. This means unattended vehicles/boats/trailers on public roads must not cause an obstruction or other safety issues for road users. If this is the case, Council enforcement officers can notify the owner to move the trailer within the following timeframes:

  • Immediately if causing an obstruction or safety risk (officer’s discretion).
  • Within 3 days if the trailer is unregistered.
  • Within 3 days if the trailer is damaged and unable to be driven and has been left for more than 15 days.
  • Within 15 days if left unattended for more than 28 days.

If vehicles/boats/trailers are not moved within the requested timeframe, they can be impounded or a fine of $660 issued to the owner.

Council does not deem vehicles/boats/trailers to be unattended if:

  • The vehicle/boat/trailer is registered.
  • The vehicle/boat/trailer is legally parked, under 7.5 metres in length and weighs less than 4.5 tonnes.
  • The responsible person (registered owner) lives within close proximity of the vehicle (officer’s discretion).
