From 1 July 2018, the 10 most common parking fines in New South Wales will be reduced by 25 per cent, the state government has announced. 

The NSW Government will undertake a review of all fines, except those that may impact road safety, and investigate fixing confusing parking signs.

NSW Government-issued parking fines to be reduced to $80

1. Park continuously for longer than permitted
2. Park without current ticket displayed
3. Park after ticket expired
4. Stand vehicle in the area longer than allowed
5. Stop in the restricted parking area
6. Park after meter expired
7. Not stand the vehicle in marked parking space
8. Remain in ticket-operated loading zone after ticket expired
9. Park without current loading zone ticket
10. Park without paying meter fee

The state government will also investigate a grace period for motorists to prevent people receiving fines if they overstay a meter by just a few minutes.

Currently, the NSW Government sets parking fine levels, with the current minimum amount set at $110.
