No because although it’s University land the parking is overseen by Council and so they do not give two shits. “I had a 7am start and was rushing to meet my supervisor to get out into the field” is not considered adequate. The stinger is that they fined me only shortly before I got back from the field anyway… grrrrrrr
It might be worth a shot. Just a simple explanation, was in a rush, forgot to put up permit, first time, lesson learned, attach photo of said permit. I got out of one last year with an ’ official warning’ because my delightful mother brought her disability permit with her, but left it in her handbag instead of applying it to the screen. Took me 5 minutes to apply for a review and saved my ass $200.

Forgot to put my student permit on the car because I was in a rush this morning though - copped a $200 fine. Just what I need. Ruined my day

Any chance you can get the fine waived by calling them and explaining the situation?
