In this section:
If you park illegally in the City of Melbourne, you risk being fined. If you do not pay the fine, additional costs will be added.
Parking infringement notices are necessary to regulate and control the use of parking spaces throughout the City of Melbourne.
Parking and traffic laws apply to ensure the safe and fair use of Victoria's roads. Specific parking restrictions and the council’s parking permit system help make parking available for both residents and visitors.
If an infringement notice remains unpaid, a warrant may be issued and your property may be seized and sold to satisfy the amount owing.
Parking fine increase
Amendments to the Road Legislation (Projects and Road Safety ) Act 2006 allow for the value of parking infringement notices to increase annually to allow for inflation. Previously, not all parking offences were subject to annual increases. Go to Collection of overdue parking fines for information.
