Important Information for Specific Infringements:

Parking/Camping: If you were not the driver of the vehicle at the time of the offence, please nominate another driver.
Firebreak and Fuel Management Notice: Please read our non-compliance FAQs before submitting your appeal.

To successfully appeal your infringement, you will be required to submit evidence to prove that an Authorised Officer has made a mistake.

Infringements are designed to point out the seriousness of your failure to act responsibly. Whether you have been caught parking in an ACROD bay without the appropriate certification, or if your firebreaks have failed inspection, it is your civic duty to act more responsibly in future.
