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.

Could I ask which council it was? I guess I could try… I did remember to put my bloody sun shade on but not the permit. Guess I could say I was in a rush and put the shade over the permit which I’m sure happens all the time too…

@just_kitten @Eagle seems like you don't have much to lose, the worst they can do is say no.

Mine was Casey, who have a reputationfor being aholes, but all councils should have the option.
