Council wishes to advise the community that Rangers will be conducting Parking Patrol in the Glen Innes CBD in April 2025. Parking Patrols conducted by Council Rangers are intended to ensure that parking spaces are used equitability, and fairly for all road users.
The regulation of Disabled Parking Zones is a priority for Council. Disabled Zones ensure that less mobile, and/or senior persons can access, and utilise services in the CBD easier by allowing shorter travel distances to their intended destination. Persons with a disability possessing a mobility parking permit must ensure that their permit is appropriately displayed on the front dash, or window of the vehicle.
In addition, timed parking ensures turnover of popular spaces in the main street which, enhance the parking and shopping experience for visitors and residents alike, helping support our local businesses.
Since November 2024 Council Rangers have been issuing Caution Notices (Warnings) to vehicles. However, moving forward in April 2025 Council Officers will exercise discretion and may issue Penalty Infringement Notices (On the Spot Fines) to vehicles in the CBD that do not comply with signed parking requirements.
