Infringement notices

An infringement notice is a penalty for breaking the law. Council issues infringement notices for a number of offences under various legislation.

How an infringement notice is served

We can serve an infringement notice by:

  • delivering it to you in person
  • sending it to you by post at your last known place of residence or business
  • by fixing or placing the notice on your vehicle in a conspicuous manner (if your vehicle was involved in the alleged offence).

Non-payment of infringements

It is important to pay your infringements by the due date on the infringement notice.

If you fail to make payment by the due date, you’ll receive a Penalty Reminder Notice and additional costs will be added to your fine.

    Paying your infringement notice

    There are many options to pay your fine: 

    Online

    Payments can be made online by credit card via our payments page.

    Phone

    Pay by Visa or Mastercard on 1300 668 153.

    Post

    Send cheque or money order to:

    Knox City Council

    Ensure that you write your infringement notice number on back of cheque/money order.

    Payment is not made until the cheque is cleared.

    In person

    Payment plans or extensions

    You may be eligible to pay under a payment plan if you have a:

    • Commonwealth Government (Centrelink) Pensioner Concession Card
    • Department of Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession Card or Gold Card
    • Centrelink Health Care Card (all types including non-means tested)
    • Work and Development Permit.

    If you do not have any of these concessions but can demonstrate financial hardship then you may be able to ask for an extension of time to pay your infringement.

    To ask for a payment plan or extension of time, you need to provide supporting documentation and:
