| Infringement / notice number | 3009 XX XXXX 71 |
| Registered vehicle | ABC 12D |
| Alleged offence | Park continuously for longer than permitted (signposted 2P) |
| Location | Maribell Street, Brightwater |
| Date of offence | 14 May 2026 |
| Issuing authority | Brightwater City Council |
| Demerit points | None |
I am the registered operator of the above vehicle and write to formally dispute the infringement notice described above, on the grounds set out below.
A parking rule can only be enforced where the sign imposing it is present, legible, and sufficiently clear to give a reasonable driver adequate notice of what is required. In this case, the sign imposing it was, at the time of parking, so faded, damaged, obscured, or otherwise deteriorated that it did not give a reasonable driver fair notice of the rule. A driver exercising reasonable care could not have been expected to discern the prohibition from the signage as it existed at the time. The applicable signage standards require that parking-control signage be installed and maintained so as to convey any such limit clearly.
In the absence of adequate signage giving notice of the restriction, a driver could not reasonably have known that one applied at this location. A rule that is not clearly and lawfully conveyed by compliant signage cannot fairly be enforced against a driver who had no notice of it, and the matter is properly characterised as one in which withdrawal is the just outcome.
In light of the above, I respectfully request that the infringement be withdrawn. Should the authority decline to withdraw the matter, I ask that it provide written reasons and the evidence relied upon, so that my options may be properly considered.
| Penalty / notice number | 4011 XX XXXX 88 |
| Registered vehicle | DEF 34G |
| Alleged offence | Exceed speed limit (fixed speed camera) |
| Location | Hawthorn Parade, near Eastgrove |
| Date of offence | 2 May 2026 |
| Issuing authority | Revenue NSW |
| Demerit points | 3 |
I am the registered operator of the above vehicle and write to formally dispute the infringement notice described above, on the grounds set out below.
A speed measured by a camera-based device can only be relied upon where the device was an approved device, correctly installed and tested, and operating within its approval at the relevant time. The notice does not establish these matters, and I ask that the calibration, testing and approval records for the device be produced so the measurement can be verified.
Camera enforcement at this location is subject to the signage and operational requirements that apply to such devices. Where the required advance warning or speed-limit signage was absent, obscured, or not compliant at the time, the basis for the detection is undermined and the notice should not stand.
In light of the above, I respectfully request that the notice be withdrawn. Should the authority decline to withdraw the matter, I ask that it produce the device records relied upon and provide written reasons, so that my options may be properly considered.
| Penalty / notice number | 5022 XX XXXX 13 |
| Registered vehicle | GHJ 56K |
| Alleged offence | Use a mobile phone while driving (detection camera) |
| Location | Riverside Drive, near Tallowood |
| Date of offence | 9 May 2026 |
| Issuing authority | Revenue NSW |
| Demerit points | 5 |
I am the driver named on the above infringement notice and write to formally dispute the notice described above, on the grounds set out below.
The notice was issued from a detection-camera image interpreted as showing me holding a mobile phone. The object in the image was not a phone — it was an everyday item I had in the vehicle — and I was not using a phone at the time.
A detection-camera image must establish that the object held was a mobile phone. The image relied upon does not do so: the shape the system has flagged is consistent with the ordinary object I actually had, and the limitations of the image — angle, resolution, and the resemblance of everyday items to a phone — mean it cannot establish that element of the offence to the standard required.
In light of the above, I respectfully request that the notice be withdrawn. Should the authority decline to withdraw the matter, I ask that the original image be examined and that written reasons be provided, so that my options may be properly considered.
