Council Parking Officers, Rangers and the NSW Police may issue fines for offences under the Australian Road Rules.  

If a parking fine can't be left on your vehicle, a notification with the offence details will be attached instead.

The notification allows you to take note of the parking conditions at the time and informs you that you have received a fine.

The actual fine will be mailed to you by Revenue NSW within 1–2 weeks.

Council officers are unable to speak to individuals once a fine has been issued.

Who can I contact to discuss the fine?

After the fine has been received in the mail, all enquiries and review requests must be directed to Revenue NSW.

Visit nsw.gov.au and search ‘Review Assist Guide’ to help you decide whether to request a review, or call 1300 138 118.

Revenue NSW are unable to speak to anyone until the hard copy fine has been received in the mail.

Leppington Train Station is an important public transport hub for Camden residents and surrounding communities. Because it can get busy, please make sure you park safely, legally and with consideration for others.

The best option is the FREE PARK & Ride car park, conveniently located off Rickard Road at Leppington Train Station. This facility makes it easy to leave your car and continue your journey by train.

Large trucks and truck trailers do not mix with residential areas. They can limit sight lines and are very noisy when starting up in the early hours.

In a built-up area, heavy vehicles and/or long vehicles must not stop on a length of road for longer than one hour (buses excepted).

Heavy vehicle means a vehicle with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of more than 4.5 tonnes.

Long vehicle means vehicles with a combined length of 7.5 metres or longer.

Council provides designated areas for parking heavy and long vehicles to assist drivers in parking their vehicles safely and without causing a nuisance to residents.

The heavy vehicle parking areas are located on:

• Sedgwick Road between Smeaton Grange Road and Hartley Street, Smeaton Grange; and
• Smeaton Grange Road between Camden Valley Way and Anzac Avenue, Smeaton Grange.

If you see a heavy or long vehicle parked in a residential area, contact Council's Customer Service Team at 13 22 63 or online. 

More information about heavy vehicle parking can be found here.

Both the beginning and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools.

Tips for safe parking and driving in a school zone:

• Drop your child off and pick them up on the school side of the road
• Never call out to them from across the road - it is very dangerous
• Always take extra care in 40km school zones
• Follow all parking signs - these help keep your child as safe as possible
• Park responsibly even if it means you have to walk further to the school gate
• Never double park - it is illegal and puts children at risk
• Never do a U-turn or a three-point turn outside the school as it puts children at risk of harm
• Model safe and considerate pedestrian and driver behaviours to your child
• Always give way to pedestrians, particularly when entering and leaving driveways.

Council regularly monitors parking around school zones as a part of Council’s School Safety Program and for Community and Road Safety. 

For more information on how Council respond to regulatory matters refer to Council's Environment & Regulatory Services Enforcement Policy.

Let’s face it; no one likes getting a parking fine.

Parking rules in NSW are designed to stop vehicles from parking where it is unsafe or inconvenient for other road users. 

Ensure you park legally, safely, and considerately.

More information about parking rules in NSW is available here.

What happens when you report an issue?

Council's actions may include:

• Monitoring the area over time
• Contacting the vehicle owner
• Sending educational material to the affected area
• Issuing fines (where evidence supports enforcement)

Immediate attendance isn't always possible, as vehicles often move before we arrive. Action will vary depending on the location and nature of the problem.

The more details you provide, the better we can respond:

• Exact location
• Vehicle make, model and colour
• Number plate (if available)
• If multiple vehicles are involved, the address they are attending

Council must have evidence of an offence to take regulatory action. For more details on how Council responds to regulatory matters, see the Environment & Regulatory Services Enforcement Policy.

Having an unregistered vehicle on a road or road-related area is illegal.

If you believe that a vehicle has been abandoned or dumped in your neighbourhood and you don’t know where the owner lives, you can report it to Council:

Contact Council's Customer Service Team on 13 22 63 or online. 

You'll need to provide the following:

• Exact location;
• Make, model and colour of the vehicle; and
• Number plate (if available).

Council Rangers investigate each report of an abandoned vehicle by:

• Checking if the vehicle is registered and/or stolen;
• Attempting to contact the last known owner to move the vehicle;
• Regularly monitoring the vehicle until we hear from the owner; and
• Removing the vehicle if the owner takes no action.

This process can take an extended period, depending on the vehicle's registration status.

We place an orange abandoned vehicle sticker on the windscreen or windows, to let the community know the vehicle is being investigated.

Parking signs convey directions for safe and convenient parking. They benefit all road users, including pedestrians.

If you see confusing, faulty or damaged parking signs on a major road, you can report it to Service NSW Report a Parking Sign - Service NSW 

For example; Camden Valley Way and The Northern Road. 

If you see confusing, faulty or damaged parking signs on a local street, Contact Council's Customer Service Team at 13 22 63 or Online. 

Recent amendments to the Fines Act 1996 require Council to publish a report for the community detailing the number of instances, and reasons, where a penalty notice was not attached to a vehicle.
