Where a parking control sign applies to a length of road or an area you must not park there continuously for longer than the period allowed. If you stay longer you can be issued with a penalty. If you want to stay longer you must move your vehicle out of the area between the two signs and into another parking area or leave the off street car park and return.
Purchasing an additional session at a parking meter does not cancel out your obligation to move after the time limit is up nor will moving to another bay within the same parking area save you from an infringement penalty.
In some instances there may be metered parking payable Monday to Friday.
A common mistake is people assume that because parking is free on weekends that they do not have to abide by the parking time limit. This is not correct and will result in an infringement being issued.
The following appeals would not be considered valid reasons for withdrawal of parking infringements:
- I moved from one bay into another next to or in the same signed area.
- Parking Meter stated free parking on weekend assumed I could park in the spot all day.
