Number of parking fines issued by northern beaches council for years 2022, 2023 for parking on nature strip.
Dear NSW Office of State Revenue,
I have lodged a number of complaints to Northern Beaches Council regarding residents parking their vehicles dangerously across the footpaths and council owned nature strips of local streets, creating visual obstruction of pedestrians, children in particular, for on-coming motorists. .
My written complaints date back to 2021 and I have supplied photographs as well as exact locations of some of the regular offending vehicles. The council rangers refuse to take action, citing 'discretion', a power of which does not apply to them in such instances.
I have escalated my complaints to the council CEO, the Mayor and the councillors who represent my Ward. All of whom ignore my letters/emails.
I need the comparison parking fine statistics for penalties issued to vehicles overstaying specified time periods in council owned car parking areas etc., and vehicles reported for the much more dangerous offences as mentioned above.
Armed with this information I will be better able to make a submission to the Governor, under the Local Government Act, for the dismissal of those representing the council.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Eyre

Dear Mr Eyre,
I have received some advice from Revenue NSW in relation to your request.
Parking fines data for 2022 and 2023 is publicly available on Revenue NSW's website at: https://www.revenue.nsw.gov.au/help-cent...
Once you open the dataset, you are able to filter via different Councils. Here you can select 'Northern Beaches Council', which provides a monthly breakdown including total number and value.
This dataset however does not show the offence type. As such, Revenue NSW is asking:
1. If you could specify the types of offences you are interested in
OR
2. If you wish to ask for all parking fines issued by Northern Beaches Council during 2022 & 2023 showing the offence description.
Looking forward to your response on this.
Kind regards,
Tahreem Khan (he/him)

Dear GIPA-DCS,
From the Status update:
"2. If you wish to ask for all parking fines issued by Northern Beaches Council during 2022 & 2023 showing the offence description."
This would be the best option. I can then select the offences that are of interest to me.
Dear Mr Eyre,
Thanks for the confirmation - we shall proceed accordingly.

Dear GIPA-DCS,
I was unable to open any of the pdf information links that you directed to me.
This was the message I got when trying to open them:
"Sorry, this email address isn't associated with this secure link. Please contact the person who shared it with you."
I have been using my main email address only.
I have therefore withdrawn my request and have applied for the information I require from another government site.
Thanks for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Eyre
