Explore Councils by state
Redland City Council is proposing to increase the penalties for minor stopping offences as a means of improving public safety.
The minor safety-related offences impacted by the increase include stopping in no stopping areas or bus zones, on or near pedestrian crossings and stopping to obstruct traffic.
The higher penalties, which will require an amendment to Subordinate Local Law No. 5 (Parking) 2015, aim to act as a deterrent and discourage people from committing these safety-related offences.
Council resolved at the General Meeting on 21 June 2023 to proceed with community consultation on the proposed amendments to Subordinate Local Law No. 5 (Parking) 2015.
Information on the proposed changes to the penalty units will be available from Monday 26 June 2023 until 17 July 2023 on the project’s Your Say webpage and in Council’s Customer Service Centres at Capalaba, Cleveland and Victoria Point.
