Council's parking compliance activities focus on keeping our streets safe, accessible and enjoyable for everyone. While we don't generally issue fines for timed parking, our team responds to complaints and safety concerns about vehicles parked illegally or causing obstructions.
You may receive a fine if your vehicle is:
- A heavy or long vehicle parked in a built-up area for more than an hour
- Parked on a path or nature strip
- Parked in a 'No Parking' or 'No Stopping' zone
- Parked within 10 metres of an intersection
We encourage all residents and visitors to park responsibly and follow road rules to help maintain safety and amenity across our towns.
Parking Fines Reporting
In accordance with the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Act 2024 and the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Regulation 2025, Narrandera Shire Council is required to report on parking fines issued each quarter.
Background on Legislative Changes
The NSW Government's reforms to the parking fines system, which came into effect on 1 July 2025, require councils to:
- Attach a parking fine or notification to the vehicle (except in limited circumstances).
- Provide photographic evidence of the offence to Revenue NSW.
- Issue fines within seven days of the offence if no notification was attached.
- Publicly report data on parking fines issued.
These changes aim to restore fairness and transparency to the parking fine system across NSW.
Narrandera Shire Council will continue to monitor the implementation of these reforms and provide quarterl updates as required.
