Parking complaints

The Town of Walkerville will continue to be active in the community with the enforcement of the Australian Road Rules.

If you witness illegal parking, this may be reported to Council on 8342 7100. You are invited to contact this number 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is recommend you contact Council as soon as possible when you witness an offence so that an officer may be dispatched immediately.

Parking infringements

The Town of Walkerville is not responsible for the fees that are associated with parking offences. Expiation fees are set by the State Government and apply to all Councils.

The Expiation of Offences Act 1996, states that an expiation notice “may be given personally; or by service on an employee or agent of the alleged offender; or by post, addressed to the alleged offender’s last know place of business or residence".

If you receive a parking infringement, you have 28 days (including the date issued) to make the payment.

Payments in full can be made:

  • Online, Make a Payment
  • In Person, at the Town of Walkerville, Civic and Community Centre, 66 Walkerville Terrace.
  • By Mail to Town of Walkerville, PO Box 55, Walkerville SA 5081
  • Over the Phone on 8342 7100 to make a credit card payment

If payment is not received within the required timeframe, a reminder notice will be issued, which will incur additional fees.

All expiations and reminder notices not paid by the due date will be enforced with the Chief Recovery Officer. For more information please visit www.fines.sa.gov.au.

If you receive an expiation notice and you wish to dispute the offence, you will need to put your request in writing by completing the Expiation Notice Request for Review form. Please attached any relevant evidence in support of your application.

The offence may be expiated by payment of the total amount to the Town of Walkerville within 28 days from (and including) the date of the notice unless an arrangement is entered into under Section 9 of the Expiation of Offences Act 1996.

If no contact or correspondence has been received in writing after 28 days then a reminder notice will be issued, unless you have entered into a payment arrangement with the Fines Enforcement & Recovery Unit.

If you are experiencing severe financial hardship and cannot afford to pay your expiation by the due date please contact the Chief Recovery Officer on 1800 659 538 or visit www.fines.sa.gov.au to make alternative arrangements, fees may apply.

After 14 days from the date of reminder notice, and no action has been taken, the notice will be referred to the Chief Recovery Officer for enforcement.

Please be aware that Council cannot consider an application to dispute an expiation notice once the matter has been transferred to the Chief Recovery Officer.  Any enquiries after this stage will need to be referred to the Chief Recovery Officer by Phoning 1800 659 538, or visit their website www.fines.sa.gov.au. for further information.

In some areas of the Town of Walkerville, where there is limited available on-street parking and/or additional conflict between parking users, Council may, at its absolute discretion, give preference to local residents in order to adhere to the principles of amenity and convenience. This will be managed through the implementation of Residential Parking Permits and signposted Residential Parking Permit exempt zones.

Residential Parking Permits are issued in accordance with Council’s Parking Policy.

To be eligible for a Residential Parking Permit, the applicant must be a resident of the Town of Walkerville, whose normal place of residence is subject to restrictive parking controls that provide for resident permit exemption. The number of parking permits that a resident may be eligible for is dependent on the amount of off-street parking available at their place of residence. There is a fee payable for each permit.

Residential Parking Permit

  • A “Resident Only Parking Exemption” is provided to residents of the Town, in order to exempt them only from parking their vehicles for longer than the permitted time, in areas in which time limit parking controls apply adjacent to their properties or where a permit zone for residents only exists adjacent to their property.
  • Permits will be issued in respect to a specific street(s). Permits are not transferable from one residential parking permit exempt zone or limited area to another.
  • Any tampering, alteration or misuse of the permit will render the permit invalid.
  • Additional Residential Parking Permits may be issued at the discretion of the Council Administration.  Applications under this section must be made in writing by the permanent resident who meets the eligibility criteria of this policy and outline the nature of the exceptional circumstances.

Permits will be issued in respect to a specific street / suburb address. Permits are not transferable from one residential parking permit exempt zone to another.

If you have any questions please contact Council on 8342 7100 or via email to walkerville@walkerville.sa.gov.au.

If you have lost your parking permit and wish to apply for a replacement, you will need to complete a statutory declaration outlining the reasons for the replacement and include parking permit number, if known.

First replacement is free, however, subsequent reissues will incur a fee, as set out in Council's Fees and Charges Schedule.

Council administers and enforces parking controls for the convenience and safety of the community.
