Parking infringement options
﻿Parking infringements
No one likes receiving parking fines, and most of the time they can be avoided. Some activities, whether attending appointments, shopping or just enjoying a coffee, can take more time than expected, and in these cases, using short-term parking may not be the best option.
﻿Avoid an infringement
When driving in the City of Subiaco, it is contrary to the Local Parking Laws to:
park or stop in a no stopping area
park in a loading zone
park in a bus stop
park or stop in a disability parking permit bay without a permit
park or stop on a verge where signage prohibits such action
park on a verge without permission from property owner or occupier
park in bays designated for other types of vehicles (eg taxi or motorcycle)
park or stop in a right of way or obstruct private driveways
park or stop on a footpath
park facing against the traffic flow (headed in the wrong direction)
remove chalk marks on tyres
move the vehicle (once parked) and repark within the same street/area within one hour (the time limit does not apply merely to the space or bay occupied but to the whole street or car park.
Keep in mind these five basic rules, and you should be able to avoid an infringement
Make sure you take time to read the parking sign.
Ensure your valid parking ticket is clearly displayed inside your vehicle before leaving.
Ensure your valid residential or visitor parking permit is clearly displayed.
If you have been issued with a parking infringement notice, you have four options:
1. Pay the infringement
Payment by phone on 1300 276 468 using Mastercard or Visa 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Payment by mail addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, City of Subiaco, PO BOX 270, SUBIACO WA 6904. Make cheques or money orders payable to the City of Subiaco (do not send cash through the mail).
2. Request for the infringement to be reviewed
Infringements may be reviewed upon request by completing the online infringement dispute form.
It is important to note that this review does not affect the infringement due date. It is important to include all evidence you feel is relevant to having your infringement reviewed. Evidence can be, but is not limited to; photos, statutory declarations, breakdown reports or medical certificates. Statutory declarations are more likely to assist your claim if they are made by an independent party and if they support rather than contradict evidence collected by the officer at the time of the infringement.

3. Nominate an alternative driver
If the owner of the vehicle wishes to nominate an alternative driver, they may do so by completing and returning the Blank Statutory Declaration - Driver Advice form.
If an infringement remains unpaid, the matter will be referred to the Fines Enforcement Registry (FER) after which your driver’s licence or any vehicle licence held by the driver may be suspended. Additional costs will also be incurred once it is referred to FER.
5. Elect to have the matter disputed in court
To have the matter heard in court, the driver must elect to be prosecuted for the alleged offence in court by advising the City of Subiaco in writing.
