Reporting placard abuse

Using a placard

  • details of the incident, including time and place
  • the licence plate number
  • make/model of the vehicle

Using an accessible parking space

If you’re aware of someone parking in a designated stall and there isn’t a valid parking placard displayed or a special disabled licence plate on the rear of the vehicle, contact the municipal parking authority.
