Appealing Fines

All appeals must be put in writing and forwarded to the Appeals Officer, Bayside City Council, PO Box 27, Sandringham 3191.

To object to an infringement

The following information is required:

Name and address
Contact telephone number
Infringement number
Vehicle registration
Explanation or appeal

If you were not the person in control of the vehicle at the time of the infringement, you will need to fill in an Operator Owner Onus Form supplying us with the name and address of the person that was in control of the vehicle at the time of offence.

The following explanations require a Statutory Declaration to be filled out, rather than a letter in writing:

Vehicle broken down/out of petrol/flat tyre, etc;
If the RACV attended, they can provide documentation of the call-out;
Ticket/Resident Parking Authority displayed that may have fallen from dash board, and not seen by Officer;
Disputing time allocation on ticket;
Disputing the alleged infringement on the grounds that it was not their vehicle.

Statutory Declarations and Operator Owner Onus Forms are available by telephoning Council on 9599 4444 or by collecting from the Corporate Centre, 76 Royal Avenue, Sandringham.

The matter will be reviewed by the Appeals Investigations Unit and a reply in writing as to the outcome will be sent in due course.
