Avoiding Breach of Parking Rules Make sure that permit is displayed correctly; Make sure that permit has not expired; Use loading zones only for the purpose they are

intended and don’t exceed time limits on the sign; Read the signs at the entry points of carparks to

identify the times and days applicable to paid parking and the type of permit required for parking in the area;

Park only in parking bays that allow for your permit colour as displayed on your vehicle; and

Don’t park in or on the following places: Grassed areas; Outside marked bays; Footpaths; Service vehicle areas; and Do not park in any other permit colour

space other than yours;

Parking Period of Leniency Don’t stretch the rules; Purely to allow students who have just arrived to purchase their parking

permits – not a free for all; Purchasing a permit is a quick and easy online process: https://www1.enforce-it.net/aparc_une_onlinepermits Repeat offenders will be fined during the leniency period; A warning and repeat offenders register is kept; Still have to comply with all of the parking rules – the leniency period

doesn’t mean you can park where you want; Infringement notices will be issued to cars parked in areas other than

designated Blue/Purple Permit areas.

cleaning; Compliance with general rules:
