Nominate another driver
The registered owner of a vehicle is responsible for parking infringements issued to their vehicle.
If your vehicle has received a parking infringement but you weren’t the driver at the time of the parking offence, you can nominate the driver, which transfers the liability of the infringement to them.
The owner of the registered vehicle must complete the Operator Owner Onus form below
Please ensure you enter all details correctly. Incomplete or incorrect forms will not be accepted.
This is a legal document, and it is an offence to provide false or misleading information.
Dispute an infringement
You can apply for us to conduct an internal review of our decision to issue the infringement (often called a 'fine') if you believe the decision:
- was contrary to law
- involved a mistake of identity
- that special circumstances apply
- you were unaware of the infringement. You are eligible to apply under this ground if:
- you were not personally served the fine, or
- you make the application within 14 days of becoming aware of the fine and you updated your authorised address within 14 days of changing your address.
- if there are other exceptional circumstances.
