Parking Infringement Notices

(Question No. 208)

Mr Rugendyke asked the Minister for Urban Services, upon notice:

In relation to parking infringement notices:

(1) How many off-street parking area infringement notices have been issued by the Government and over what period have they been issued.

(2) How many and what is the total value of off-street parking area infringement notices that (a) have been paid; (b) not been paid.

(3) What is the breakdown of outcomes and reasons for off-street parking area infringement notices that have not been paid.

(4) How many and what is the total value of off-street parking area infringement notices that have not fallen due for payment.

(5) Have there been other infringement notices issued that do not clearly specify the place of the alleged infringement as required by the Motor Traffic Act.

(6) How many and what is the total value of other parking infringement notices issued with insufficient location details such as "Public Place" and "Voucher Parking Area."

Mr Smyth: The answer to the Member's question is as follows:

The amount of information printed on the face of parking infringement notices was reduced from 8 April 1999 to streamline processes and address occupational health and safety concerns in Parking Operations. Full location information is reported by the parking inspector at the time of the alleged offence, and is contained in the computer record at the Department of Urban Services.

The level of location detail shown on parking infringement notices was increased from 8 November 1999. Hence, I have answered Mr Rugendyke's question in respect of parking infringement notices issued between 8 April 1999 and 7 November 1999. The information provided is current as at 23 November 1999.

(1) There were 27,679 parking infringement notices issued between 8 April 1999 and 7 November 1999 for infringements in off-street parking areas.
