Parking and traffic laws exist to ensure the safe and fair use of Victoria's roads for the benefit of everyone.
Your responsibility
As a licensed driver, you are expected to be aware of the road rules and adhere to them at all times. Failure to obey the road rules can lead to receipt of a parking fine (penalty infringement notice). If this fine is not paid, statutory costs and legal action may result.
Our responsibility
We must ensure that:
- parking spaces are shared fairly by the community
- motor and pedestrian traffic is not obstructed or inconvenienced
- any danger caused by unsafe parking is minimised.
Your right to appeal a fine
You have the right to request a review of your fine before the due date on your notice.
Under the Infringements Act 2006 there can only be one review of a fine.
