Using the payments section, search for PN CITY COUNCIL-PARKING INF as the payee/biller.

It will then prompt you to add the correct particulars, code and reference:

  • Particulars: the vehicle registration number
  • Code: "Parking Inf"
  • Reference: notice number (you can find this on your parking ticket)

Please use the correct particulars, code and reference. This is important so we can identify your payment.

What happens if I don't pay?

If you’re having trouble paying for your ticket, please let us know. We can work with you on the best possible solution.

Payment is due 28 days after we issue the ticket. If you don't pay within this time, we send a reminder notice to the address where the vehicle is registered. This gives you another 28 days to pay.

After that, we lodge your infringement with the Ministry of Justice for debt collection by the Courts. You will have to pay any extra costs as well as your fine.
