holiday parking The Christmas holidays are looming and that means parking is in great demand in our town centres. To ensure people have access to parking, restrictions are in place in these areas. Please check timed parking restrictions to avoid receiving a Penalty Infringement Notice. Council Rangers and Parking Officers conduct regular patrols in these areas, including weekends. Fines have increased to $114 for overstaying the sign posted time limit and $572 penalty plus 1 demerit point for parking in a disabled parking space without a current permit displayed.
