Capricorn Coast Parking

Council has responded to the need for regular turnover of carpark spaces to provide more equitable access for customers of local businesses and visitors to our foreshore attractions. These limited parking zones will ensure that everyone, including the local community and visitors, have convenient parking opportunities to shop and enjoy our revitalised foreshore and town centre.

The regulated parking areas include two and three hour timed parking zones in the Yeppoon Town Centre and will operate between 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 12pm on Saturdays.

You have 28 days from the issue date of a fine to request a review. A Request for Withdrawal form is required to be completed by the offender. Reviews will not be processed without the completion of this form. 

Most internal reviews will be completed within 14 days; however, the process can take up to 90 days or longer if additional information is required. A letter will be sent to you advising the outcome of the review process. 

Note: Statutory Declarations must be completed for the following:

• Advising the vehicle has been sold (copy of transfer papers or receipt of sale must be provided)
• Advising illegal use – written advice or crime report from the Queensland Police Service must be provided
• If you were not the driver of the vehicle, nominating who the driver was at the time the infringement notice was issued. Include the name, address and contact details of the driver.
• You are unable to supply supporting documentation (receipts, medical certificates, or other proof to support your case).

Step 1

An internal review is decided on the following grounds:

• Did the offence occur? (The facts and particulars of the offence are correct)
• Has the infringement been issued to the correct person? If not, then the registered owner must nominate the driver responsible by providing full name and residential address
• Where the circumstances that led to receiving a parking infringement notice were beyond the control of the driver (exceptional circumstances).

Step 2

The following grounds of appeal are NOT CONSIDERED VALID reasons for withdrawal of parking infringement notice:

• Poor visibility due to weather
• Not noticing a sign
• Reading only part of a multi-panel sign
• Being unable to read the sign from the front seat of the car
• Forgetting to read the sign
• Not noticing that a sign/restriction had been changed
• Running late or being in a hurry
• Being delayed at an appointment
• Stopping for a short time in a prohibited area (for example; stopping in a ‘no stopping’ area even if it is just to pick up or drop off passengers or goods)
• Being new to the area and unfamiliar with the restrictions (this applies regardless of whether the driver is from interstate or overseas)
• Being unaware of the road rules (all licensed drivers are expected to be aware and comply with the road rules at all times)

Step 3

When contesting your fine please provide as much detail as possible in your explanation.

The personal information required on this form is collected by us to assess the internal review. Failure to provide this information means that we cannot assess your internal review.

When you have completed the form please return it to us.

Step 4

The following are circumstances are when we may consider withdrawing an infringement notice:

• If your vehicle has broken down
• If you are in or involved in a medical emergency

All of these circumstances must be backed up with documentation, such as a letter from the hospital or your doctor, copies of towing dockets and repair invoices, or copies of lease documents and contracts of sale. We may also require a Statutory Declaration if the circumstances are complex and not fully explained by third party documentation. 

What happens if your appeal is unsuccessful

You have the option of either paying the infringement notice or electing to have the matter heard in the Magistrate's Court. You must notify us in writing if you wish to refer the matter to the Magistrate's Court. If you fail to pay or respond within 28 days of the decision notice date, we will commence further legal process.
