Ok, so last month I received a parking fine for parking on a RESIDENTIAL street in Bonython, out the front of a townhouse complex. There are NO SIGNS whatsoever to indicate it's illegal to park here. I was not the only car parked there at the time, cars are always parked on the nature strip on this RESIDENTIAL street.
I disputed the fine on the grounds that it's not a "built-up area" as the infringement suggested (as above, residential street), and there is nothing to notify people that it's illegal to park here.
If I still wish to dispute it (my f**king God I do) then it gets referred to the ACT magistrates court blah blah blah. I need to know if I have been correctly fined, and what defines a "built-up area". As far as I'm concerned, if my fine is correct then you're not allowed to park on the nature strip ANYWHERE on ANY residential street in ACT.
Here are two photos of my car as it was parked (taken at different times, same position though) to show the street layout as well as other cars.
Can anyone provide any insight?
