Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does the parking officer know that I have paid?
A. Parking officers use a PDA to check the number plate of your car against the tickets paid for at the ticket machine. Because the registration number is checked when issuing a fine, the software ensures that you will not get a parking fine if you are legally parked and have paid for a ticket.
Q. What is my responsibility as the user of the system?
A. You are responsible for ensuring that the registration number you input is correct and you have paid for the correct payment time. If the wrong registration number is entered the parking officer is unable to verify you have paid for a ticket and will issue a fine.
Q. What methods of payment does Ticket machine accept?
A. You can pay by Visa or Mastercard credit and debit cards or coins
Call Easy Park service centre on 1300 734 070 to pay.
