Sydney parking fine leaves driver stunner after parking in the city for hours

A driver who left his car on a Sydney street for hours returned to find a bizarre parking ticket – with a $0 fine.

The driver parked on a side street off Victoria Road in Rozelle, in Sydney’s Inner West, where parking fines can be expensive.

But after checking his ticket the driver found he had been given a $0 fine accompanied by the words ‘Warning Only Do NOT Pay’.

The strange parking ticket was issued only as a warning.

The Inner West Council  decided to issue the $0 fines as a way to put public safety ahead of enforcement but it did not say when the grace period would end. 

However the council will start issuing penalty notices from June 1 and will still give out parking fines if the offence is a safety issue.

On Monday, the City of Sydney council announced it would be putting an end to free parking in the city after it suspended parking fines at the end of March.

The council said parking inspectors would be back in full force on May 25 to ‘ensure everyone has safe, fair and equal access to parking’. 

The 1,400 free parking permits that were issued to emergency service workers will remain valid until June 30.

Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth have also brought back parking restrictions.
