Parking enforcement

MEDIA RELEASE 12 April 2021

Since March 2020 Council’s Rangers have taken an educative approach to parking enforcement, issuing cautions for many offences rather than Penalty Infringement Notices (PINs).

Mayor Bobby Bourke said Council had taken this approach to enforcement to support the local businesses and the community during the difficult period over the last twelve months.

“The focus of enforcement activities was on issues that represented a genuine safety risk such as parking in no stopping zones and use of disabled parking space without authorisation that have received PINs,” he said.

Over a number of weeks, Council Rangers will escalate enforcement practice to ensure fair and equitable access to parking for all members of the community. This will include restrictions in school zones, bus zones, no parking areas and time restrictions in the carparks.
