Prior to 2017, Council asked Tenix (Council’s third party parking contractor) to provide a recommendation in relation to parking infringement reviews prior to a Council officer making a decision on each review request.

In 2017, Council removed Tenix from providing recommendations and conducted the entire internal review of parking infringements itself.

Council amended its process to ensure that there was no risk of non-compliance with the laws in place regarding the contracting of third parties for assistance with internal reviews.

Council will re-assess all requests for review and make a decision and respond by written letter.

Ensure the information you provide is correct when submitting a request otherwise we may not be able to process your request.

The review process can take up to 90 days.
