City Parking announces grace period before clamping

City Parking has announced a grace period to be offered to motorists before their car are clamped.

Their notice said in part

Following consultations with key stakeholders concerning City Parking enforcement operations, the following changes shall be made effective the 10’* of March 2023:

1. Unpaid vehicles shall be clamped and fined $132.00 or equivalent after a 30-minute grace period.
2. Paid vehicles shall be clamped and fined $132.00 or equivalent after an hour’s grace period from expiry.
3. The level of the fine can only be reviewed through a budgetary process which the city council is looking into.
4. It is expected that these changes will bring relief to the motoring public and increase compliance and order in the public interest.

Our thoughts

It is some sort of relief because fist fights between residents and the public is not a good look.

That it had to get so dire was mad really.

They have no control over the USD132 fine but it is insane that the council will hold cars at such high ransom over a USD2 infraction.
