Appeal a parking fine if you were parked on single or double yellow lines

There are some scenarios where appealing your parking fine (also known as a Parking Charge Notice or PCN) could be successful and some where you should consider paying instead.

Where it's unlikely an appeal would be successful

You are liable to pay if you were parked on single or double yellow lines, even if:

  • you were parked on the verge or footpath adjacent to yellow lines
  • have a residents permit for the area
  • there were no other spaces to park available in the area

Where your appeal may be successful

Appealing the PCN does not guarantee the PCN will be cancelled. Each case is reviewed individually on its own merit and in consideration of the circumstances.
