Parking Fines

If you park illegally, you can be fined. Parking fines are set in Regulations made under the Victorian Road Safety Act. Fines for 2023-2024 are $99, $119 and $198, depending on the offence.

A parking fine can be handed to you, left on your car's windscreen, or you can be sent the fine in the mail. If you have received a fine, payment can be made at the Council Offices in Welsford Street , Shepparton; a cheque or money order can be posted to Locked Bag 1000, Shepparton, 3632; or credit card payment can be made via the Council's website.

Who is responsible for paying the fine?

You are responsible for the fine if you are the registered owner of the vehicle. If you weren’t in possession of the vehicle at the time, complete a Nominated Statement Form (see "Driver Nomination Statement" section below) giving the name and address of the driver to Council.

Who can issue parking fines?

The following people can issue an infringement notice (parking fine) in the Greater Shepparton:

  • any police officer, or
  • an authorised Council officer.

Authorised officers from some other public authorities (eg VicRoads) can also issue parking infringements in certain cases.

An authorised officer of Council to patrol parking should be able to show you an identity card on request. It should have on it their photo, their signature, and the signature of the Council officer who has authorised them to issue infringement notices.

Can you get an infringement on private property?

Council parking officers can give tickets for parking on private property if the owner has an agreement with Council. For example, the privately owned car park of a retail store may be controlled by Council by arrangement with the owner.

Why you should obey parking laws?

Our parking and traffic laws are there to ensure the safe and fair use of Victoria’s roads for the benefit of everyone. Many people park illegally because it’s convenient, without stopping to think that they might be inconveniencing others or putting them in danger.

Appealing fines

If you believe there is a good reason for you not to pay the fine, you can:

  • Ask for the fine to be reviewed
    Complete the below form, explaining your objection.
  • Have the case heard by a court
    You can tell the Council you want to dispute the fine before a magistrate. You will then receive a summons telling you the date, time and place of the hearing. If you succeed at the hearing, the fine will be dropped; but if you are not successful you will have to pay the fine, plus additional court and Council costs.

Submit an appeal to Council

You can submit an appeal using the online form below, or by printing the hard copy form available further down this page.

The "Helpful information" section below will assist you in completing your objection. If, after reading the notes, you believe you have a valid reason for objecting to the fine, please complete the online form.

The matter will be reviewed by Council’s reviewing officers and in line with the Infringements Act Legislation, a reply in writing as to the outcome will be made within 90 days.

All applications for internal review on registrable infringements can be lodged at any time before the infringement is registered with Fines Victoria, noting that if the after 28 days of the infringement being issued, you will incur additional fees in application has not been made.

If you have lodged an appeal, please do not pay your infringement until you have received notification from Council regarding the final outcome.

Helpful information when submitting an appeal

  • Please provide a detailed description of what has occurred. Often infringement notices are issued when no-one is in attendance at the vehicle.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct change to purchase a ticket machine from a ticket machine prior to parking and leaving your vehicle.
  • If paying for parking electronically via Paystay. You must ensure the session has successfully activated before leaving the vehicle unattended.
  • Parking officers are unable to predict your whereabouts, or how long you will be gone from your vehicle. They are obliged to issue a ticket when a vehicle is left unattended without a valid ticket visible on the dash of the vehicle.
  • After purchasing a parking ticket from a ticket machine in one of the Council‘s car parks, the ticket must be placed face-up on the front dashboard of the vehicle, and the current date and valid parking time must be clearly visible for the parking officer to read. If it cannot be clearly seen, an infringement notice may be issued. More information is provided on the reverse side of the parking ticket.
  • Loading zones are provided for loading and unloading of goods by authorised commercial vehicles only and are not provided for private vehicles undertaking a business activity or shopping.
  • Vehicles must not be stopped/parked in “No Stopping” zones at any time.
  • Disabled bays are a reserved area for persons with a disability and may only be used by vehicles displaying a valid Category One Disabled Parking Permit (blue label). Holders of Category Two Disabled Parking Permits (green label) are not permitted to park in a disabled parking bay. They are entitled to use a standard parking bay for twice the time limit displayed for that bay.
  • Many parking areas have time limitations, which are clearly displayed on signs. You may only park for the time limit stated, and then must move your vehicle out of that parking area. It is not permissible to move your vehicle to another bay in the same parking area.
  • Time limits also apply for timed ticket areas. It is not permissible to top up your Paystay session or purchase a new ticket when the maximum time has elapsed. The vehicle must be moved out of the area.
  • Please note that parking on Saturday mornings is free, however time limits still apply where stated and are enforced.

Grounds for review

Contrary to law

The contrary to law ground can be used if a person believes that the decision to serve the infringement notice was unlawful. For example, this may arise where:

  • the infringement notice is not valid (for instance, it is incomplete or it does not otherwise comply with the formal legal requirements for an infringement notice), or
  • an infringement officer has acted unlawfully, unfairly, improperly or beyond their authority in taking that action or decision.

Note that the above examples are not exhaustive.

Evidentiary requirements  Possible outcomes 

Mistake of identity

The mistake of identity ground is intended to apply where a person claims that they were not the person who committed the infringement offence.

Examples could include where the person claims:

  • they are not the person named on the infringement notice
  • they were not in the location at the time of the offence and therefore could not have committed the offence
  • they have had their identity stolen.

This ground is not available in circumstances where the operator of a vehicle has been served with a traffic or parking infringement notice and they allege that they are not liable for the offence and cannot reasonably ascertain the identity of the person who was responsible for the offence. Such circumstances should be more appropriately addressed by lodging an unknown user nomination statement.

Evidentiary requirements  Possible outcomes 

Special Circumstances

The Infringements Act defines special circumstances in relation to a person as:

  • a mental or intellectual disability, disorder, disease or illness where the disability, disorder, disease or illness contributes to the person having a significantly reduced capacity —
    • (i) to understand that conduct constitutes an offence; or
    • (ii) to control conduct that constitutes an offence; or
  • a serious addiction to drugs, alcohol or a volatile substance within the meaning of section 57 of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 (External link) where the serious addiction contributes to the person having a significantly reduced capacity —
    • (i) to understand that conduct constitutes an offence; or
    • (ii) to control conduct which constitutes an offence; or
  • homelessness determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria (if any) where the homelessness contributes to the person having a significantly reduced capacity to control conduct which constitutes an offence; or
  • family violence within the meaning of section 5 of the Family Violence Protection Act 2008 (External link) where the person is a victim of family violence and family violence contributes to the person having a significantly reduced capacity to control conduct which constitutes the offence
  • circumstances experienced by the person that
    • (i) are long-term in nature; and
    • (ii) make it impracticable for the person to pay the infringement penalty and any applicable fees or otherwise deal with the infringement notice under this Act or the Fines Reform Act 2014 (External link); and
    • (iii) do not solely or predominantly relate to the person's financial circumstances

These definitions are expanded upon below.

Mental disability, disorder, disease or illness  Intellectual disability, disorder, or disease  Serious addiction to drugs, alcohol or volatile substance  Homelessness  Family violence  Long term condition/circumstances making it impracticable to deal with the fine 

Evidentiary requirements  Possible outcomes 

Exceptional circumstances

The exceptional circumstances ground provides decision makers with the discretion to determine whether the infringement is appropriate, taking into account the circumstances in which the offending conduct occurred.

Evidentiary requirements  Possible outcomes 

Financial hardship

While financial hardship is not a ground for review, enforcement agencies may consider such applications under the exceptional circumstances ground. It is open to enforcement agencies to implement an exceptional circumstances financial hardship policy. Alternatively, where a person is experiencing financial hardship and is unable to pay their outstanding fines, enforcement agencies should assist the applicant, where appropriate, to negotiate a payment plan.

Bankruptcy and insolvency

A person is responsible for their infringement fine even if they have been declared, or are seeking to be declared, bankrupt. A person who is declared bankrupt retains their rights to deal with the infringement notice including submitting a nomination statement or applying for internal review.

When a company is experiencing financial difficulties, it may be placed into external administration or liquidation. Companies that are in liquidation or under external administration may apply for internal review of their infringement fines.

An enforcement agency may consider a person’s bankruptcy status, or a company’s financial status, as evidence of financial hardship. It is also open to an enforcement agency to include a person’s bankruptcy status or a company’s financial status as a relevant consideration in any internal financial hardship policy that the enforcement agency may choose to implement.

Enforcement agencies should also consider the following:

  • For individuals: if an individual is experiencing financial hardship and is unable to pay their outstanding fines, enforcement agencies should assist the applicant, where appropriate, to negotiate a payment plan. It will be up to the review officer to decide whether a payment plan is appropriate in a bankrupt person’s particular circumstances.
  • For companies in liquidation or companies under external administration: enforcement agencies should require that these applications for internal review may only be made by the liquidator or administrator.

Once an insolvent company is deregistered, it ceases to exist, and infringement fines cannot be recovered. Internal review officers should complete an online ASIC search on a company to determine the company’s registration status before processing any application in the name of a company.

Person Unaware

This ground of internal review enables an applicant to lodge an internal review application on the ground that they were unaware of the infringement notice. Service of the notice must not have been by personal service.

An application made on the ground of ‘person unaware’ must:

  • be made within 14 days of the applicant becoming aware of the infringement notice (a person may evidence the date they became aware of the infringement notice by executing a statutory declaration)
  • be made in writing
  • state the grounds on which the decision should be reviewed
  • provide the applicant’s current address for service, and
  • may only be made once in relation to any one infringement offence.

Evidentiary requirements  Possible outcomes

Mental disability, disorder, disease or illness

In accordance with section 4 of the Mental Health Act 2014 and the definition of ‘disability’ contained in the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) a mental disability, disorder, or disease or illness means a diagnosed medical condition that is characterised by a disturbance of thought, mood, perception, or memory. This may include:

  • a total or partial loss of a person’s mental functions, or
  • a disorder, disease or illness that affects a person’s thought processes, perception of reality, emotions, or judgment, or that results in disturbed behaviour.

  • psychosis
  • schizophrenia
  • severe mood disorder
  • antisocial personality disorder
  • borderline personality disorder
  • post-traumatic stress disorder, and
  • attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.
Intellectual disability, disorder, or disease

In accordance with the definitions of ‘disability’ and ‘intellectual disability’ in section 3 of the Disability Act 2006 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth), an intellectual disability, disorder or disease means a disorder or malfunction that results in a person learning differently to a person without the disorder or malfunction. This includes:

  • the coexistence of significant sub-average general intellectual functioning and significant deficits in adaptive behaviour, which became manifest before the age of 18 years, or
  • cognitive impairment, including a neurological condition or acquired brain injury, or a combination of both, which:
    • is, or is likely to be, permanent, and
    • causes a substantially reduced capacity in at least one of the areas of self-care, self-management, or mobility.

Examples of cognitive or intellectual disabilities include, but are not limited to:

  • autism spectrum disorder
  • dementia
  • motor neurone disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • stroke
  • Huntington’s disease, and
  • acquired brain injury.
Serious addiction to drugs, alcohol or volatile substance

A person is considered to have a serious addiction to drugs, alcohol or volatile substances if that person has a maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by three (or more) of the following, occurring any time in the same 12-month period:

  • tolerance, as defined by either of the following:
    • a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve intoxication or the desired effect, or
    • markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of the substance.
  • withdrawal, as manifested by either of the following:
    • the characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance, or
    • the same (or closely related) substance is taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.
  • the substance is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than intended.
  • there is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use.
  • a great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance, use the substance, or recover from its effects.
  • important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of substance use.
  • the substance use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the substance (for example, current cocaine use despite recognition of cocaine-induced depression or continued drinking despite recognition that an ulcer was made worse by alcohol consumption).
Volatile substance – definition

Section 57 of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 defines volatile substances as:

  • plastic solvent
  • adhesive cement
  • cleaning agent
  • glue
  • dope
  • nail polish remover
  • lighter fluid
  • gasoline
  • any other volatile product derived from petroleum, paint thinner, lacquer thinner, aerosol propellant, or anaesthetic gas, and
  • any substance declared volatile by the Governor in Council from time to time.
Homelessness

The criteria for determining if a person is homeless is prescribed by the Infringements Regulations.

A person is considered homeless if they —

  • are living in crisis accommodation, or
  • are living in transitional accommodation, or
  • are living in any other accommodation provided under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Act 1994 (Cth), or
  • have inadequate access to safe and secure housing as defined in section 4 of the Supported Accommodation Assistance Act 1994 (Cth).

Common examples include where a person is: 

  • without conventional accommodation, for instance, sleeping in parks or on the street, squatting, living in cars or in improvised dwellings
  • moving from one form of temporary accommodation to another ­ for example, refuges, emergency hostel accommodation, or temporary space in the homes of family and friends
  • living in temporary accommodation because of unsafe living conditions (such as family violence) or inability to afford other housing
  • living in a caravan park due to their inability to access other accommodation, or
  • living in boarding houses on a medium to long-term basis.
Family violence

The definition of special circumstances includes a person who is a victim of family violence within the meaning of section 5 of the Family Violence Protection Act 2008 (FVPA).

‘Family violence’ is:

  1. behaviour by a person towards a family member of that person if that behaviour:
    1. is physically or sexually abusive
    2. is emotionally or psychologically abusive
    3. is economically abusive
    4. is threatening
    5. is coercive
    6. in any other way controls or dominates the family member and causes that family member to feel fear for the safety or wellbeing of that family member or another person, or
  2. causes a child to hear or witness, or otherwise be exposed to the effects of, behaviour referred to in paragraph (a).

‘Family violence’ also includes the following behaviour:

  • assaulting or causing personal injury to a family member or threatening to do so
  • sexually assaulting a family member or engaging in another form of sexually coercive behaviour or threatening to engage in such behaviour
  • intentionally damaging a family member’s property, or threatening to do so
  • unlawfully depriving a family member of the family member’s liberty, or threatening to do so, or
  • causing or threatening to cause the death of, or injury to, an animal, whether or not the animal belongs to the family member to whom the behaviour is directed so as to control, dominate or coerce the family member.

Behaviour may constitute family violence even if the behaviour would not constitute a criminal offence.

The Royal Commission into Family Violence report, tabled in Parliament on 30 March 2016, recognised the difficulties faced by victims within the infringements framework and considered that there are a range of car-related debt issues that arise in circumstances of family violence.

In making recommendations 112 and 113, the Royal Commission considered that family violence arose in circumstances where:

  • victims committed infringement offences (including parking and traffic offences) while experiencing family violence (for example, escaping violence), or
  • perpetrators of family violence incurred infringements while driving a vehicle registered in the victim’s name and the victim was unable to nominate due to safety fears.
Long term condition/circumstances making it impracticable to deal with the fine

A person will be considered to have conditions or circumstances which are long term in nature and which make it impracticable for them to pay or otherwise deal with the fine in a very narrow category of cases

This sub-ground of ‘special circumstances’ is intended to apply only to a very small cohort of fine recipients who have long-term and extremely serious circumstances that:

  • may not have been present at the time of offending, and
  • are particularly disabling or incapacitating in nature, and
  • result in the person being unable to pay or otherwise deal with their infringement fine
  • The legislative test excludes any circumstances that solely or predominantly relate to the person's financial circumstances. The infringements system contains other mechanisms for dealing with financial hardship, including payment plans, payment arrangements and the work and development permit scheme.

Examples include but are not limited to:

  • a person undergoing long term involuntary mental health care, for example a Community Treatment Order or a period of involuntary inpatient treatment, that makes them unable to attend courses, treatment, or counselling, or to pay
  • a person with a severe physical or intellectual disability that makes them unable to attend courses, treatment, or counselling, or to pay

people who are sleeping rough, isolated and highly transient, and are unlikely to resolve their circumstances in the foreseeable future, and are unable to deal with their fine in any way.

Special circumstances - Evidentiary requirements

Applications for internal review on the ground of special circumstances should be accompanied by supporting evidence. Acceptable evidence is that which satisfies the decision maker that special circumstances exist. That is, the evidence should confirm:

  • the existence of the relevant condition or circumstance, and
  • the required connection (or nexus) between that condition and the offending conduct, or the condition and the impracticability to deal with the fine.

Evidence that is acceptable includes (but is not limited to) reports, letters, statements, submissions, statutory declarations, police reports, and family violence safety notices.

A range of individuals, including professionals and practitioners, can provide evidence if the application is based on:

  • a mental or intellectual disability disorder, disease or illness: evidence can be obtained from a medical practitioner, psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse or psychologist and can include a letter, statement or report that includes:
    • the practitioner/counsellor’s qualification and relationship with the applicant and the period of engagement
    • the nature, severity, and duration of the applicant’s condition and/or symptoms
    • an assessment on whether the applicant was suffering from the relevant condition at the time the offence was committed, and
    • whether, in the opinion of the practitioner, there is a connection between the applicant’s relevant condition and the applicant’s offending behaviour.
  • a serious addiction to drugs, alcohol or a volatile substance: evidence can be obtained from a medical practitioner, psychiatrist, psychologist, accredited drug treatment agency, drug counsellor, or case worker (from a community or social work facility) and can include a letter, statement or a report. Information that may support an application includes the:
    • practitioner/counsellor’s qualification and relationship with the applicant including the period of engagement
    • the nature, severity and duration of the applicant’s relevant condition and/or symptoms
    • whether the applicant was suffering from the relevant condition at the time the offence was committed, and
    • whether, in the opinion of the practitioner, there is a connection between the applicant’s relevant condition and the applicant’s offending behaviour.
  • homelessness: evidence can be obtained from a medical practitioner, psychiatrist, case worker or social worker, health or community welfare service providers and can include a letter, statement, or a report. Information that may support an application includes:
    • the practitioner/case worker’s qualification and relationship and the period of engagement
    • a summary of the applicant’s circumstances
    • whether the applicant was homeless at the time the offence was committed, and
    • whether, in the opinion of the practitioner, there is a connection between the applicant’s homelessness and the applicant’s offending behaviour.
  • family violence: evidence can be obtained from family violence case workers or social workers, Victoria Police, medical practitioners or health or community welfare service providers and can include a statement, report, letter, family violence safety notice or a family violence intervention order. Information that may support an application includes:​​
    • the practitioner/case worker’s qualification and relationship and the period of engagement
    • a summary of the applicant’s circumstances
    • whether the applicant was experiencing family violence at the time the offence was committed, and
    • whether, in the opinion of the practitioner, there is a connection between the applicant’s circumstances involving family violence and the applicant’s offending behaviour.
  • a long-term condition or circumstance: depending on the condition, the report can be obtained from a variety of relevant professionals to establish the severe or debilitating condition/circumstances. As the condition or circumstance is not limited, the decision maker should assess whether the professional is appropriately qualified to give evidence about that condition, on a case-by-case basis. The professionals listed for the above grounds may guide the decision maker in determining who is appropriately qualified to give the evidence. The information that may support the application includes:
    • the professional’s qualification and relationship and the period of engagement
    • a summary of the applicant’s circumstances
    • whether the condition or circumstance is long-term, and
    • whether, in the opinion of the practitioner, the condition or circumstances makes it impracticable for the applicant to deal with their infringement.

In addition to a report from a professional, evidence that the applicant receives assistance through the National Disability Insurance Scheme or a Disability Support Pension may also support the application.

Special circumstances - Possible outcomes

An enforcement agency may make the following decision upon reviewing an internal review based on special circumstances:

  • confirm the decision to serve the infringement notice
  • withdraw the infringement notice and serve an official warning, or
  • withdraw the infringement notice.
Exceptional circumstances - Evidentiary requirements

Applications for internal review made on the grounds of exceptional circumstances should (where appropriate) be accompanied by supporting evidence.

Decision makers can take any matter a reasonable person would consider as relevant information into account.

Examples of supporting evidence could include:

  • medical evidence from medical practitioners
  • invoices or receipts
  • statutory declarations or affidavits
  • witness statements
  • photographs
  • travel documentation
  • police statements or records.
Exceptional circumstances - Possible outcomes

An enforcement agency may make the following decision after reviewing an application for internal review based on the grounds of exceptional circumstances:

  • withdraw the infringement notice and serve an official warning
  • withdraw the infringement notice
  • withdraw the infringement notice and refer the matter to Court (Magistrates’ or Children’s Court, as appropriate)
  • in the case of an infringement offence involving additional steps, alter or vary those steps provided the alteration or variation is consistent with the Act or other instrument establishing the offence
  • waive all or any prescribed costs, or
  • approve a payment plan.

In some cases, it may be appropriate to do a combination of the actions above.

Person Unaware - Evidentiary Requirements

Applications for internal review made on the grounds of person unaware should (where appropriate) be accompanied by supporting evidence. For example, copies of date-stamped passports, boarding passes, removalist invoices and mail theft reports made to Victoria Police.

Person Unaware - Possible Outcomes

Where an enforcement agency grants an internal review application on the ground of person unaware, the applicant may

  • pay the infringement
  • apply for a payment plan
  • apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a payment arrangement
  • apply for a review of the decision to serve an infringement offence under section 22(1)(a), (b) or (c) of the Infringements Act
  • nominate another person for the infringement offence (in the case of traffic or parking offences)
  • elect to have the matter heard in Court (Magistrates’ or Children’s Court, as appropriate),
  • make an application to the Director, Fines Victoria under the Family Violence Scheme, or
  • if the person is eligible, an accredited organisation may apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a Work and Development Permit on their behalf.

If an application on the ground of person unaware is refused, the applicant must pay the infringement amount and prescribed costs (within 14 days of receiving the refusal notice). The applicant will have the same alternative payment options available to them as are available for other grounds of review (that is, payment plans or arrangements, court referral or work and development permits (if eligible).
