More than 13,000 Brisbane residents successfully overturned at least $850,000 of Brisbane City Council-issued parking fines in the last year.
Officer error and faulty meters were in the top five reasons for parking fines being cancelled, along with meters paid but with incorrect registration. Other reasons include resident parking permits not being displayed.
Opposition councillor Jared Cassidy said it was concerning more than 13 000 fines have been issued that shouldn’t have been.
