In accordance with the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Act 2024 and the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Regulation 2025, Wentworth Shire Council is required to report on parking fines issued each quarter.
Background on Legislative Changes
The NSW Government’s reforms to the parking fine system, which came into effect on 1 July 2025, require councils to:
- Attach a parking fine or notification to the vehicle (except in limited circumstances).
- Provide photographic evidence of the offence to Revenue NSW.
- Issue fines within seven days of the offence if no notification was attached.
- Publicly report data on parking fines issued.
These changes aim to restore fairness and transparency to the parking fine system across NSW.
Wentworth Shire Councill will continue to monitor the implementation of these reforms and provide quarterly updates as required.
