Private Property Parking Agreements to cease from 1 July 2025

As at 1 July 2025, the City will cease to enter into new Private Property Parking Agreements (PPPAs) and current PPPAs will not be renewed when they expire around 31 August 2025.

FAQs

Why is the City making this change?

The City has reviewed its PPPA program and found that:

the administrative and enforcement burden outweighs the revenue or community benefit
there are several private companies that offer effective parking enforcement services
resources, especially ranger time, are needed more urgently for managing public parking compliance across the City.

As a result, the City will be withdrawing from all involvement in private land parking enforcement.

Who does this affect?

What is the effective date of this change?

What happens with signage currently displayed on private property?

Can I still report illegal parking after the agreement ends?

What happens to current infringements issued under the agreement?

Will the City reconsider this decision in future?

Requests to infringe vehicles - existing agreements until expiry

To request Ranger attendance of a vehicle, raise a request below.
Requests can only be submitted by authorised complainants, who will need to sign a complaint form on site prior to issuing the infringement.
It is at the attending Rangers discretion whether cautions or infringement/s are to be issued.
Rangers will only attend as per the terms and conditions of the agreement and is subject to availability.

Requests to tow

The City has no legislated authority to tow from private property. Where a vehicle does not leave the site and is causing an obstruction on private property, the owner may consider:

placing a notice on the vehicle asking the owner to contact them, or remove the vehicle by a specific date
conducting a notice/letter drop to surrounding businesses or residential addresses to attempt to locate or identify the owner
checking with the Police if it is a vehicle of interest e.g. stolen
contacting a tow company to see what process they have to remove and impound the vehicle (this may incur a fee).

Fine withdrawals - private property

Vehicle offenders have a right of appeal subject to having applicable grounds for appeal.
If a fine is requested to be withdrawn due to an authorised signatory error or other extenuating circumstance, supporting evidence will be required and an administration fee may be charged. It will be a private matter between the applicant and signatory on who pays the administration fee.
Withdrawals are subject to the appeal process and need to be assessed and approved by the appeals coordinator.
To request a fine to be withdrawn, raise a request below.
