On 1 January 2012, council changed its local laws which affect parking across the region. Details of the new local law can be found in Laws & permits - Local laws - View subordinate local laws - Subordinate Local Law No. 5 (Parking) 2011.

Areas of possible interest include:

1. Parking fine amounts have been increased. Amounts for each fine type can be found in Related documents (at the bottom of the page) - 'Parking fine amounts'. For example: 
   • Failure to pay a parking meter or 'pay & display' is now $40.
   • Exceeding maximum indicated time on a free but limited parking area is now $50.
2. Parking permit conditions have changed. In particular, for households within the Toowoomba City regulated parking area, you are now limited to two permits. To apply for new parking permits, please find the application forms in 'Related documents' below.

 To apply for a temporary road or footpath closure please send a written application to the Chief Executive Officer, Toowoomba Regional Council, PO Box 3021, Toowoomba Village Fair, Qld, 4350.

To notify council of possible required repair or improvements to roads, footpaths or traffic management, please contact us and ask for the Construction and Maintenance Branch.

If you believe there is a good reason for you not to pay the infringement, you may apply for an internal review. All requests for review against an issued parking infringement are to be made as soon as possible after it is received. This is preferably within seven (7) days. This involves completing this form and posting or dropping it into Council.

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.
