Why am I seeing “no results found”?

If your fine was issued within the last 24 hours, it may not yet be available in the system.


Fees and payment options

Fees

Parking expiation fees, including late fees, are set by the State Government and apply to all councils. Council must charge the fee associated with the alleged offence.

Instalment options

If you cannot pay the full amount, you may request a payment arrangement through the Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit.

How to pay your fine

Appeals process

The Expiation of Offences Act 1996 outlines when an expiation notice may be withdrawn.

Request a review

If you believe there are valid grounds, you may request a review.

Submit your appeal using the online Review of Expiation Notice Form

You may download and complete a Review of Expiation Notice Form (PDF) if preferred.

If you were not the driver

Due to a change in legislation, if you were not the driver or did not own the vehicle at the time of an offence, you can now complete a Nomination Form instead of a Statutory Declaration.

The Nomination Form is not required to be witnessed and signed by a Justice of the Peace.

Download and complete the Driver Nomination Form and email it to townhall@npsp.sa.gov.au

What happens after I submit a review?

  • Your expiation will be placed on hold during the review.
  • Council will notify you of the outcome in writing using your preferred contact method.

Reviews are conducted in accordance with the Expiation of Offences Act 1996
