How to Avoid a Parking Fine

Follow these simple tips to avoid receiving a fine:

• Take the time to read the parking signs (there maybe more than one parking restriction that applies)
• Think about how much time you will need when choosing a time-restricted parking space
• Park where the restrictions suit your needs
• Park legally in unrestricted areas
• Clearly display any paid parking machine ticket on your dashboard so that all its details can be seen from outside the vehicle or pay for parking using PayStay
• Ensure valid parking permits are clearly visible from outside the vehicle and the vehicle is parked in an area authorised for the permit. Note, a parking permit is not valid if the details cannot be read from outside the vehicle.

Your Vehicle was Towed from a Clearway and you received a Fine

City of Whitehorse clearways are patrolled by a towing company appointed by the Department of Transport and Planning.

The towing company may tow away and impound your vehicle if you park it in a clearway during clearway times.

Council is not involved in this process, however, we will continue to patrol clearway zones outside of clearway times to enforce non-clearway parking time limits.

We will leave an infringement but we will not tow and impound your car. You can check if your car was towed and impounded from a clearway by the Department of Transport and Planning by visiting the Clearway Towing page.
