Parking Ticket in Sydney
|
F*&^ing Hell,
Got a parking ticket in North Sydney for my busa  (was parked between a pillar and wall. See Pic, bike in Pic is not mine. Cheers, Bill PS: this bike is parked every day at this spot. I just parked here for a day and got done.... 
As far as I know Bill, it's illegal to park a "vehicle" on a footpath. No matter what.
(Except in Vic where you can legally park motorbikes on the footpath)

I know its illlegal to park on footpath in WA, didnt know it was illegal in NSW - specially when I see a bike parked on footpath on every corner.....86$ of hard earned money gone to waste...

In Vic it is only legal if you park on the footpath at the kerb edge.
It is illegal to park any bike on a footpath against a building edge.

Looks to me like the bike is inside the building alignment being on the other side of the support pylon. This means that you are parking on private property, not on a public street....in which case you can't be given a ticket.
I'd defend it... If you want to make absolutely sure you can check the street boundaries with the local council in the area where you were given the ticket. They will have diagrams.
In politics stupidity is not a handicap.

Damn that sux. I do it all the time around Sydney and never had a problem. Can't see why we can't adopt Vic rules.

$86 is surprisingly cheap for N. Sydney. My last few parking tickets in Balmain and Liverpool have been over $230.
Carpe Diem!

You know how bikes don't have to pay for parking in times areas in the City of Sydney...? Well I got done last week for leaving my bike for 1 hour in a 4 hour zone on Hospital Roa (next to the Domain. I rang the MCC and they explained that Hospital Road is run by the Domain, and they don't accept the City of Sydney rules... Bastards.
Bill, ring the MCC and ask them, then email them the photo. They'll tell you if it's worth fighting or not.

Just had a look though and vic.gov say at least one motorcycle length from the building boundary. Against the building is deemed private property and permission is needed....not that they can do much about it though. One of the guys at work told me about three weeks ago that the council were actually physicaly measuring the distance of my Busa parked from the buildings entry - New building management complained to council.  Don't pay it Bill
