South Australia Plans to Ban Ticketless Parking Fines
Published
The South Australian government has announced plans to introduce new legislation in parliament. The proposed law would require council inspectors to physically issue parking fines, which would end the practice of issuing fines without a physical ticket.
At the moment, some councils in the state can send parking fines without leaving a paper ticket on the car. The government says the change would make the process fairer and clearer for drivers. Drivers who receive a fine would be able to see the penalty directly on their vehicle, rather than finding out about it later by mail.
If the bill is passed by parliament, the new rules would apply to council parking officers across South Australia. The government has not yet given a full timeline for when the changes would take effect. Drivers in South Australia should check the latest updates from the state government and their local council for more details.
