Frequently Asked Questions
How do I appeal a City of Sydney parking fine?
All City of Sydney parking fine appeals go through Revenue NSW, not the council directly. Log in to the myPenalty portal at my.service.nsw.gov.au, view your fine details and offence photos, then submit a review request with your grounds and evidence.
Can the City of Sydney council cancel my fine?
No. Once a parking fine is issued in NSW, only Revenue NSW can review and potentially withdraw it. Contacting the City of Sydney council directly about a fine will not result in cancellation.
