If you do not pay the fine a reminder notice will be issued. Following that, if payment isn't received, the Infringement Notice will be sent through to the Ministry of Justice and further costs will be incurred. You will then be contacted by the District Court and ordered to pay both the fine and the Court costs to them.
Your rights of appeal are outlined on the reverse of the Infringement Notice and on the subsequent reminder and are also covered in the "Appeal a parking fine" section below.

Once the infringement reaches the court, it is generally too late to dispute it. However, there are some grounds where you can dispute.
There are a number of accessible parks in the Tasman region, which require a Mobility Parking Permit to be displayed.
Enforcement Officers are contracted to Council to educate the public about the parking restrictions in the Tasman area and to enforce polices as necessary.
If you have any concerns about persistant illegal parking you can submit your concerns via the link below;
A temporary parking permit is a pre-paid carpark permit that a contractor working within any of our CBDs can obtain to allow them to park longer than the maximum time.
Council’s parking team needs to know the purpose for which the permit will be used. This online application form needs to be completed and approved by Council’s Parking enforcement team.
Vehicles that receive an approved permit will receive a note to leave on their windscreen and the council’s parking enforcement team will be notified. Please allow up to 5-10 business day to approve your application, if you require it urgently please contact us or call 03 543 8400.
When your permit is approved, you will need to make payment at the Customer Service Centre when you collect the parking permit.
Permit cost per day: $10.00
