That would boost the fine given by the city council to overstayers (in a free five-minute spot, for example) from $12 to $20 at a minimum, or up to $97 if they stayed for more than six hours.
For someone parking in a restricted or cultivated area - like a grass berm, footpath or cycleway - the fine may jump from $40 to $70.
Someone double parked - or parked inconsiderately - would be slapped with a $100 ticket instead of a $60 one. It would be the same cost increase for someone parked in an area reserved for charging EVs.
Stephen Wright, the council’s head of transport operations, said fee increases would better offset the cost of enforcement while positively changing driver behaviours.

A friend is doing research on our climate and I'm wondering if anyone has any books or journals that would have temperature records in them that could be borrowed or discussed?
It's quite a niche request but here's hoping.

The figures remain low which is good.
Due to the 'New Cases' figures being as low as they are, even during the winter, I will pause these posts for a while and will update you if they start to rise again.
Keep up the good work and stay safe.
