We advocate for you

Advocacy is an important way for us to provide a voice for the community on issues that matter. This is an essential role of local government.

We are advocating to influence state and federal governments to fund important priority projects around planning, transport, infrastructure and services.

We are calling for Federal Government support for a number of priority projects ahead of this year’s Federal election.

This includes seeking funding support for seven major projects as well as a series of local sports infrastructure, road and footpath upgrades in Manningham.  

Aquarena outdoor redevelopment

Aquarena is Manningham’s sole aquatic centre, the outdoor area (built in 1960s) is a much-loved space, however, is at the end of its lifespan and requires a total refresh.

This facility serves the entire municipality, receiving 1.14 million visits annually, and without this redevelopment, Manningham Council will struggle to accommodate the growing demands of the community and the delivery of essential health and wellbeing outcomes effectively.

5 Ways intersection safety improvements

Our community continue to raise concerns regarding the safety of the intersection at Ringwood-Warrandyte Road, Croydon Road, Husseys Lane and Brumbys Lane in Warrandyte South (commonly known as ‘5-ways’).

Manningham Council has been advocating to the State Government and directly to the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) for multiple years seeking help to fix this serious safety issue.

The North East Link project

NELP has committed to deliver a like for like replacement of Doncaster Park and Ride whereas we are seeking a Transit Oriented Development with increased capacity.

There has been concern from the community over instances of noise and dust that have not triggered intervention.

We have been advocating for filters to be installed within the ventilation stack since 2019 through the Environmental Effects Statement (EES) Hearings.

Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre

The Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre is a highly successful service, engaging over 1200 individuals each week. The development of a new community house was identified as a high priority in Council’s Community Infrastructure Plan.

Neighbourhood/community houses are a shared responsibility with the State Government. Manningham Council has already demonstrated its commitment to this new building by purchasing the land for a new community house.

What we are asking for

Council calls on the Federal and State Government for significant funding.

Community legal services

There is no dedicated community legal service located in Manningham. 

Manningham has a high percentage of overseas born residents (44%) and an increasing number of very low-income residents (25%). These factors indicate that our population has a range of vulnerabilities and needs for a legal service that provides free or low-cost assistance in a service that caters for cultural and linguistic diversity.

Open space upgrades

Manningham’s open space network is facing increasing pressure from increased population density, major projects such as the North East Link, loss of private open space and tree canopy cover, climate change and increased demand for recreation facilities . Population forecasts an increase from 133,00 today to 149,000 by 2036, which will exacerbate the pressure on our open spaces.

Jumping Creek Road in Wonga Park

Jumping Creek Road Wonga Park is in a unique and environmentally sensitive area. The road is being upgraded to improve safety for all users, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, whilst also protecting our wildlife and vegetation.

The works are expected to cost up to $21 million over the project life. This is a significant burden for the Manningham community, and we seek contributions from all levels of government to enable this project to proceed.

… a road to minimise disruption to the community. Tags Apply Parking, Roads and Footpaths Roads and footpaths Property and Development … …

When is traffic management needed?

If you are conducting works or events on or near the road, it is important to ensure that:

  • other road users can continue to use the road safely
  • there is minimal disruptions as far as possible.

If you are planning to conduct works or events that’ll impact traffic on our roads. This includes impacts on pedestrians, cyclists and general traffic, you will need to ensure that:

  • you have given appropriate warning to other road users about the works
  • you are protecting other road users from potential hazards.

 

Who needs to apply

You will need our consent if you require traffic control devices such as bollards or signage to manage traffic around your works or event.

 

Who doesn't need to apply

Works managers working for utility companies and public transport operators are pre-authorised to erect traffic control devices and don’t need our consent under traffic management regulations.

 

When do you need to apply?

Submit your application at least 10 business days before your planned works. This lets us process your application on time and also allows us to review and amend an application if required.

 

How much does it cost?

Fees apply for all applications.

  • For full road closures, the fee is $134.90.
  • For lane closures and other minor traffic management, the fee is $105.

After receiving your application, we will review your Traffic Management Plan and provide you with an invoice listing your payment options.

 

How to apply

  • A suitable traffic management plan prepared by a qualified person or company.
  • A copy of your Public Liability Insurance certificate of currency (minimum cover $20 Million).

Depending on your proposed traffic management and the impact on the road network, you may also need other documents, such as a detour plan or aftercare plan.

If your works or event impacts a Department of Transport (DoT) arterial road or requires major traffic control devices we can’t authorise, you’ll also need a Memorandum of Authorisation from DoT. You can find more info on DoT’s website.

We will require confirmation DoT has approved any traffic management on their roads.

After preparing your application, send the completed form with all necessary documents to us via email.

This application is only for consent to erect temporary control devices. Depending on your works, you might need other approvals.
 

What happens next?

  • environmentally sensitive areas. 

 

Who can apply?

The property owner and/or their contractor can apply for this permit.

 

How much does it cost?

The application fee is $168.00 (non-refundable).

You will also need to pay a refundable security deposit (minimum $250 to $2,000 plus).

Allow 14 business days for us to review your application.

The following process once we receive your application:

  1. We will conduct inspections to determine the security deposit, refunds and damages.

    We will advise you by email if your application is approved or not. If approved, we will issue a tax invoice for both the permit fee and the security deposit.

  2. You pay the tax invoice and security deposit.

    The permit will be sent to you by email.

  3. Read the permit conditions carefully.

    We may revoke the permit if conditions are not met and an infringement may be issue.

  4. Upon your advice, we will inspect the site after the work has ceased to determine if any reinstatement works are needed prior to releasing the refundable security deposit.
    • If there is no damage and the inspection is signed off as satisfactory, we will return your security deposit. The security deposit is paid as a bank transfer into your nominated bank account.
    • If any damage is noted, we will contact you to arrange reinstatement works. The permit-holder is responsible for all damage caused by works, and the damage must be reinstated to our satisfaction.

Apply for an infringement review
… how to apply for an infringement review Tags infringements and fines Apply Parking, Roads and Footpaths Parking Property and Development … Apply …

We may consider withdrawing a fine or penalty notice. However, we require supporting documentation that shows something unexpected has occurred. 

To have an infringement (fine or penalty notice) assessed, you need to provide verifiable and independent supporting documentation to support your request.

Your application for review is unlikely to succeed if you have previously received an official warning for the same or a similar offence.

Alternatively you may request an internal review undertaken by Fines Victoria.

Grounds for appeal

To make a valid application for appeal you must establish and nominate at least one ground of review. You must be able to provide proof that your circumstances meet the criteria as set out below.

 

Contrary to law

The contrary to law ground can be used if a person believes that the decision to serve the infringement notice was unlawful. For example, this may arise where:

the infringement notice is not valid (for instance, it is incomplete, or it does not otherwise comply with the formal legal requirements for an infringement notice), or
an infringement officer has acted unlawfully, unfairly, improperly, or beyond their authority in taking that action or decision.
Note that the examples in this section are not exhaustive.

Evidentiary requirements

Applications for internal review that are made on the ground of contrary to law should (where appropriate) be accompanied with supporting evidence. This may include photographs of parking signage, witness statements or other evidence that goes to establishing facts.

Possible outcomes

For applications made on the grounds of contrary to law, the following options are available to the applicant if the application is refused:

  • pay the infringement and any prescribed costs by the due date
  • where an infringement offence involves additional steps and the enforcement agency confirms the decision, the applicant must pay the infringement and perform all the additional steps by either the end of the period specified in the infringement notice or within 14 days after the applicant has been sent advice of the outcome of the review 
  • apply to the enforcement agency for a payment plan
  • apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a payment arrangement
  • elect to have the matter heard in Court (Magistrates’ or Children’s Court)
  • make an application to the Director, Fines Victoria under the Family Violence Scheme, or
  • if the person is eligible, an accredited organisation may apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a Work and Development Permit on behalf of the applicant.

Mistake of identity

The mistake of identity ground is intended to apply where a person claims that they were not the person who committed the infringement offence.

Examples could include where the person claims:

  • they are not the person named on the infringement notice
  • they were not in the location at the time of the offence and therefore could not have committed the offence
  • they have had their identity stolen.

This ground is not available in circumstances where the operator of a vehicle has been served with a traffic or parking infringement notice and they allege that they are not liable for the offence and cannot reasonably ascertain the identity of the person who was responsible for the offence. Such circumstances should be more appropriately addressed by lodging an unknown user nomination statement.

Evidentiary requirements

Applications for internal review on the ground of mistaken identity should (where appropriate) be accompanied by supporting evidence. Examples of supporting evidence for mistake of identity include the applicant’s birth certificate, driver’s licence or passport which shows:

  • a different person than the one who received the infringement notice in the applicant’s name, or
  • evidence that the applicant could not have committed the conduct because they could not have been in the relevant location.
Possible outcomes

An enforcement agency may make the following decision on reviewing an application for internal review based on the grounds of mistake of identity:

  • confirm the decision to serve an infringement notice
  • withdraw the infringement notice and serve an official warning
  • withdraw the infringement notice
  • withdraw the infringement notice and refer the matter to Court (Magistrates’ or Children’s Court, as applicable)
  • in the case of an infringement offence involving additional steps, alter or vary those steps provided the alteration or variation is consistent with the Act or other instrument establishing the offence
  • waive all or any prescribed costs, or
  • approve a payment plan.

In some cases, it may be appropriate to do a combination of the actions above, in so far as that is possible.

If the application is refused

For applications made on the grounds of mistake of identity, the following options are available to the applicant if the application is refused:

  • pay the infringement and any prescribed costs by the due date
  • where an infringement offence involves additional steps and the enforcement agency confirms the decision, the applicant must pay the infringement and perform all the additional steps by either the end of the period specified in the infringement notice or within 14 days after the applicant has been sent advice of the outcome of the review
  • apply to the enforcement agency for a payment plan
  • apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a payment arrangement
  • elect to have the matter heard in Court (Magistrates’ or Children’s Court, as applicable)
  • make an application to the Director, Fines Victoria under the Family Violence Scheme, or
  • if the person is eligible, an accredited organisation may apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a Work and Development Permit on behalf of the applicant.

Special circumstances

An applicant may lodge an internal review application on the ground that special circumstances apply to them.

This provision of the Infringements Act is designed to divert those with special circumstances from the infringements system at the earliest opportunity. This category was introduced in 2006 as:

‘A ground for seeking a review of a notice (is) that the person has ‘special circumstances’ that affected the behaviour at the time of the offence. This is a critical change to filter the vulnerable in the community out of the infringements system. People with special circumstances are disproportionately, and often irrevocably, caught up in the system...’

There are several categories of ‘special circumstances’ as defined in the legislation – further detail on those categories and the evidence which may be required to rely on each category is set out below. “Special circumstances” is practically and conceptually distinct from “exceptional circumstances”, discussed in Exceptional circumstances of these Guidelines.

Please find below the recent legislative changes to the category of Special Circumstances.

Special circumstances categories

The Infringements Act defines special circumstances in relation to a person as:

  • a mental or intellectual disability, disorder, disease or illness where the disability, disorder, disease or illness contributes to the person having a significantly reduced capacity —

    (i) to understand that conduct constitutes an offence; or
    (ii) to control conduct that constitutes an offence; or
  • a serious addiction to drugs, alcohol or a volatile substance within the meaning of section 57 of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 where the serious addiction contributes to the person having a significantly reduced capacity —

    (i) to understand that conduct constitutes an offence; or
    (ii) to control conduct which constitutes an offence; or
  • homelessness determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria (if any) where the homelessness contributes to the person having a significantly reduced capacity to control conduct which constitutes an offence; or
  • family violence within the meaning of section 5 of the Family Violence Protection Act 2008 (External link) where the person is a victim of family violence and family violence contributes to the person having a significantly reduced capacity to control conduct which constitutes the offence
  • circumstances experienced by the person that

    (i) are long-term in nature; and
    (ii) make it impracticable for the person to pay the infringement penalty and any applicable fees or otherwise deal with the infringement notice under this Act or the Fines Reform Act 2014 (External link); and
    (iii) do not solely or predominantly relate to the person's financial circumstances.

These definitions are expanded upon below.

Mental disability, disorder, disease or illness

In accordance with section 4 of the Mental Health Act 2014 and the definition of ‘disability’ contained in the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) a mental disability, disorder, or disease or illness means a diagnosed medical condition that is characterised by a disturbance of thought, mood, perception, or memory. This may include:

  • a total or partial loss of a person’s mental functions, or
  • a disorder, disease or illness that affects a person’s thought processes, perception of reality, emotions, or judgement, or that results in disturbed behaviour.

Examples of mental illnesses include, but are not limited to:

  • bipolar disorder
  • depression and anxiety
  • psychosis
  • schizophrenia
  • severe mood disorder
  • antisocial personality disorder
  • borderline personality disorder
  • post-traumatic stress disorder, and
  • attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

Intellectual disability, disorder, or disease

In accordance with the definitions of ‘disability’ and ‘intellectual disability’ in section 3 of the Disability Act 2006 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth), an intellectual disability, disorder or disease means a disorder or malfunction that results in a person learning differently to a person without the disorder or malfunction. This includes:

  • the coexistence of significant sub-average general intellectual functioning and significant deficits in adaptive behaviour, which became manifest before the age of 18 years, or
  • cognitive impairment, including a neurological condition or acquired brain injury, or a combination of both, which:
    is, or is likely to be, permanent, and
    causes a substantially reduced capacity in at least one of the areas of self-care, self-management, or mobility.[46]

Examples of cognitive or intellectual disabilities include, but are not limited to:

  • autism spectrum disorder
  • dementia
  • motor neurone disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • stroke
  • Huntington’s disease, and
  • acquired brain injury.

Serious addiction to drugs, alcohol or volatile substance

A person is considered to have a serious addiction to drugs, alcohol or volatile substances if that person has a maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by three (or more) of the following, occurring any time in the same 12-month period:

  • tolerance, as defined by either of the following:
    a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve intoxication or the desired effect, or
    markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of the substance.
  • withdrawal, as manifested by either of the following:
    the characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance, or
    the same (or closely related) substance is taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.
  • the substance is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than intended.
  • there is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use.
  • a great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance, use the substance, or recover from its effects.
  • important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of substance use.
  • the substance use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the substance (for example, current cocaine use despite recognition of cocaine-induced depression or continued drinking despite recognition that an ulcer was made worse by alcohol consumption).

Volatile substance – definition

Section 57 of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 defines volatile substances as:

  • plastic solvent
  • adhesive cement
  • cleaning agent
  • glue
  • dope
  • nail polish remover
  • lighter fluid
  • gasoline
  • any other volatile product derived from petroleum, paint thinner, lacquer thinner, aerosol propellant, or anaesthetic gas, and
  • any substance declared volatile by the Governor in Council from time to time.

Homelessness

The criteria for determining if a person is homeless is prescribed by the Infringements Regulations.

A person is considered homeless if they —

  • are living in crisis accommodation, or
  • are living in transitional accommodation, or
  • are living in any other accommodation provided under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Act 1994 (Cth), or
  • have inadequate access to safe and secure housing as defined in section 4 of the Supported Accommodation Assistance Act 1994 (Cth).

Common examples include where a person is: 

  • without conventional accommodation, for instance, sleeping in parks or on the street, squatting, living in cars or in improvised dwellings
  • moving from one form of temporary accommodation to another ­ for example, refuges, emergency hostel accommodation, or temporary space in the homes of family and friends
  • living in temporary accommodation because of unsafe living conditions (such as family violence) or inability to afford other housing
  • living in a caravan park due to their inability to access other accommodation, or
  • living in boarding houses on a medium to long-term basis.

Family violence

The definition of special circumstances includes a person who is a victim of family violence within the meaning of section 5 of the Family Violence Protection Act 2008 (FVPA).

‘Family violence’ is:

(a) behaviour by a person towards a family member of that person if that behaviour:

  • (i) is physically or sexually abusive
  • (ii) is emotionally or psychologically abusive
  • (iii) is economically abusive
  • (iv) is threatening
  • (v) is coercive
  • (vi) in any other way controls or dominates the family member and causes that family member to feel fear for the safety or wellbeing of that family member or another person, or

(b) causes a child to hear or witness, or otherwise be exposed to the effects of, behaviour referred to in paragraph (a).

‘Family violence’ also includes the following behaviour:

  • assaulting or causing personal injury to a family member or threatening to do so
  • sexually assaulting a family member or engaging in another form of sexually coercive behaviour or threatening to engage in such behaviour
  • intentionally damaging a family member’s property, or threatening to do so
  • unlawfully depriving a family member of the family member’s liberty, or threatening to do so, or
  • causing or threatening to cause the death of, or injury to, an animal, whether or not the animal belongs to the family member to whom the behaviour is directed so as to control, dominate or coerce the family member.

Behaviour may constitute family violence even if the behaviour would not constitute a criminal offence.

The Royal Commission into Family Violence report,[49] tabled in Parliament on 30 March 2016, recognised the difficulties faced by victims within the infringements framework and considered that there are a range of car-related debt issues that arise in circumstances of family violence.

In making recommendations 112 and 113, the Royal Commission considered that family violence arose in circumstances where:

  • victims committed infringement offences (including parking and traffic offences) while experiencing family violence (for example, escaping violence), or
  • perpetrators of family violence incurred infringements while driving a vehicle registered in the victim’s name and the victim was unable to nominate due to safety fears.

Long term condition/circumstances making it impracticable to deal with the fine

A person will be considered to have conditions or circumstances which are long term in nature and which make it impracticable for them to pay or otherwise deal with the fine in a very narrow category of cases.

This sub-ground of ‘special circumstances’ is intended to apply only to a very small cohort of fine recipients who have long-term and extremely serious circumstances that:

  • may not have been present at the time of offending, and
  • are particularly disabling or incapacitating in nature, and
  • result in the person being unable to pay or otherwise deal with their infringement fine.

The legislative test excludes any circumstances that solely or predominantly relate to the person's financial circumstances. The infringements system contains other mechanisms for dealing with financial hardship, including payment plans, payment arrangements and the work and development permit scheme.

Examples include but are not limited to:

  • a person undergoing long term involuntary mental health care, for example a Community Treatment Order or a period of involuntary inpatient treatment, that makes them unable to attend courses, treatment, or counselling, or to pay
  • a person with a severe physical or intellectual disability that makes them unable to attend courses, treatment, or counselling, or to pay
  • people who are sleeping rough, isolated and highly transient, and are unlikely to resolve their circumstances in the foreseeable future, and are unable to deal with their fine in any way.
Possible outcomes

An enforcement agency may make the following decision upon reviewing an internal review based on special circumstances:

  • confirm the decision to serve the infringement notice[56]
  • withdraw the infringement notice and serve an official warning, or
  • withdraw the infringement notice.

Enforcement agencies should also note the power under section 17 of the Infringements Act to refer a matter to the Magistrates’ Court. This power must be exercised before the fine is registered with the Director, Fines Victoria (or where it is a non-registerable matter before the expiry of the date for commencing proceedings).

This power does not apply to infringement notices relating to offences to which the provisions listed in section 17(2) apply. The legislation that establishes those offences has separate processes for referring those matters to court.

For infringement notices relating to alleged offences by children, agencies wishing to exercise this power must do so before an enforcement order is issued under Schedule 3 of the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 (External link) Where the infringement notice matter cannot be registered under that Schedule, the time limit on exercising the power is before the expiry of the period for commencing proceedings in relation to that matter.

If the application is refused

For applications made on the ground of special circumstances, the following options are available to the applicant where a decision maker refuses the application and confirms the infringement:[57]

  • pay the infringement
  • apply for a payment plan
  • apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a payment arrangement
  • elect to have the matter heard in Court (Magistrates’ or Children’s Court, as appropriate),
  • make an application to the Director, Fines Victoria under the Family Violence Scheme, or
  • if the person is eligible, an accredited organisation may apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a Work and Development Permit on behalf of the applicant.[58]​​​​

If an enforcement agency decides to refuse an application for internal review that has been made on the basis of special circumstances relating to family violence, the notification letter to the applicant should set out all the options available to the applicant, including their ability to apply to the Director, Fines Victoria under the Family Violence Scheme (FVS). See section 6.8: Family Violence Scheme (FVS) for further information about the FVS.

Exceptional circumstances

The exceptional circumstances ground provides decision makers with the discretion to determine whether the infringement is appropriate, taking into account the circumstances in which the offending conduct occurred.

Evidentiary requirements

Applications for internal review made on the grounds of exceptional circumstances should (where appropriate) be accompanied by supporting evidence.

Decision makers can take any matter a reasonable person would consider as relevant information into account.

Examples of supporting evidence could include:

  • medical evidence from medical practitioners
  • invoices or receipts
  • statutory declarations or affidavits
  • witness statements
  • photographs
  • travel documentation
  • police statements or records.
Possible Outcomes

An enforcement agency may make the following decision after reviewing an application for internal review based on the grounds of exceptional circumstances:

  • confirm the decision to serve an infringement notice
  • withdraw the infringement notice and serve an official warning
  • withdraw the infringement notice
  • withdraw the infringement notice and refer the matter to Court (Magistrates’ or Children’s Court, as appropriate)
  • in the case of an infringement offence involving additional steps, alter or vary those steps provided the alteration or variation is consistent with the Act or other instrument establishing the offence
  • waive all or any prescribed costs, or
  • approve a payment plan.

In some cases, it may be appropriate to do a combination of the actions above.

Financial hardship

While financial hardship is not a ground for review, enforcement agencies may consider such applications under the exceptional circumstances ground. It is open to enforcement agencies to implement an exceptional circumstances financial hardship policy. Alternatively, where a person is experiencing financial hardship and is unable to pay their outstanding fines, enforcement agencies should assist the applicant, where appropriate, to negotiate a payment plan.

Bankruptcy and Insolvency

A person is responsible for their infringement fine even if they have been declared, or are seeking to be declared, bankrupt. A person who is declared bankrupt retains their rights to deal with the infringement notice including submitting a nomination statement or applying for internal review.

When a company is experiencing financial difficulties, it may be placed into external administration or liquidation. Companies that are in liquidation or under external administration may apply for internal review of their infringement fines.

An enforcement agency may consider a person’s bankruptcy status, or a company’s financial status, as evidence of financial hardship. It is also open to an enforcement agency to include a person’s bankruptcy status or a company’s financial status as a relevant consideration in any internal financial hardship policy that the enforcement agency may choose to implement.

Enforcement agencies should also consider the following:

  • For individuals: if an individual is experiencing financial hardship and is unable to pay their outstanding fines, enforcement agencies should assist the applicant, where appropriate, to negotiate a payment plan. It will be up to the review officer to decide whether a payment plan is appropriate in a bankrupt person’s particular circumstances.
  • For companies in liquidation or companies under external administration: enforcement agencies should require that these applications for internal review may only be made by the liquidator or administrator.

Once an insolvent company is deregistered, it ceases to exist, and infringement fines cannot be recovered. Internal review officers should complete an online ASIC search on a company to determine the company’s registration status before processing any application in the name of a company. For more information, visit the ASIC website (External link)

Person unaware

This ground of internal review enables an applicant to lodge an internal review application on the ground that they were unaware of the infringement notice. Service of the notice must not have been by personal service.

An application made on the ground of ‘person unaware’ must:

  • be made within 14 days of the applicant becoming aware of the infringement notice (a person may evidence the date they became aware of the infringement notice by executing a statutory declaration)
  • be made in writing
  • state the grounds on which the decision should be reviewed
  • provide the applicant’s current address for service, and
  • may only be made once in relation to any one infringement offence.

 

Evidentiary requirements

Applications for internal review made on the grounds of person unaware should (where appropriate) be accompanied by supporting evidence. For example, copies of date-stamped passports, boarding passes, removalist invoices and mail theft reports made to Victoria Police.

Possible outcomes - If the application is granted

Where an enforcement agency grants an internal review application on the ground of person unaware, the applicant may:[62]​​​​​​

  • pay the infringement
  • apply for a payment plan
  • apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a payment arrangement
  • apply for a review of the decision to serve an infringement offence under section 22(1)(a), (b) or (c) of the Infringements Act
  • nominate another person for the infringement offence (in the case of traffic or parking offences)
  • elect to have the matter heard in Court (Magistrates’ or Children’s Court, as appropriate),
  • make an application to the Director, Fines Victoria under the Family Violence Scheme, or
  • if the person is eligible, an accredited organisation may apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a Work and Development Permit on their behalf.[63]
Possible outcomes - If the application is refused

If an application on the ground of person unaware is refused, the applicant must pay the infringement amount and prescribed costs (within 14 days of receiving the refusal notice).[64] ​​​​The applicant will have the same alternative payment options available to them as are available for other grounds of review (that is, payment plans or arrangements, court referral or work and development permits (if eligible).

Work and Development Permits (WDPs)

The Work and Development Permit (WDP) scheme commenced on 1 July 2017 to provide vulnerable and disadvantaged people with a non-financial option to address their fine debt. The WDP scheme is administered by the Director, Fines Victoria. A WDP allows an eligible person to work off their fine debt by participating in certain activities and treatment. Enforcement agencies are encouraged to promote this scheme to vulnerable community members.

A person must undertake a WDP under the supervision of a sponsor. A sponsor is an organisation or a health practitioner accredited by the Director, Fines Victoria to support the WDP scheme. Only a sponsor may apply to the Director, Fines Victoria for a WDP on behalf of an eligible person.

An organisation or a health practitioner may apply to become a WDP sponsor to assist their clients to deal with their fine debt and to encourage engagement with services. If an eligible person is already engaged with an organisation or a health practitioner that is not yet a WDP sponsor, the organisation or health practitioner can contact the WDP Team to get information about becoming a sponsor (see details below).

Family Violence Scheme (FVS)

The Family Violence Scheme (FVS) is a specialised scheme to support people affected by family violence within the fines system. The scheme is administered by the Director, Fines Victoria. The scheme allows people to apply to Fines Victoria to have their infringement fines withdrawn if family violence substantially contributed to the offence or if it is not safe for them to name the responsible person.

Agencies should inform applicants about the scheme if family violence is mentioned in their application.

To access the Family Violence Scheme, a person must:

  • have been issued an infringement notice for an offence, and
  • show they are a victim survivor of family violence, and
  • how that the family violence substantially contributed to the person not being able to:
    • control the conduct that constituted the offence, or
    • nominate the driver that committed the offence in a car registered to the victim, or
    • reject a nomination.

A person can apply to the Family Violence Scheme at any time from first receiving the fine until:

  • the fine has been paid, or
  • a seven-day notice served on the person has expired or been waived, or
  • particular enforcement action has been taken against them.
Contact information

To help decide if the FVS is a suitable option, a person may wish to seek legal advice from a lawyer or by contacting a local community legal centre via the Federation of Community Legal Centres (External link) or Victoria Legal Aid (External link)

Check common scenarios

Here are some common scenarios to check if we may or may not withdraw your infringement:

  • This is your first infringement – can you get off with a warning?
    An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances. An honest mistake is not sufficient grounds for the fine to be withdrawn.
  • Your vehicle broke down
    If your car broke down then you can apply for an infringement review, but you will need to supply supporting documentation such as a mechanics or towing or roadside assistance invoice to have your review considered.
  • You parked in a No Stopping area for only a short period of time
    An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances. This includes stopping for any reason including dropping or picking up children from school.
  • Your parking permit was not displayed correctly
    If at the time of the infringement you had a current parking permit then you can apply for an infringement review provided you have not received a warning previously. You will need to supply proof of your parking permit as supporting documentation to have your review considered.
  • You did not understand or see the sign or understand the road rules
    An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances. There is an onus on a driver to understand the road rules.
  • You were not the driver
    An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances, however, you may nominate another driver to have the infringement reissued to the correct person.
  • You were dealing with a medical emergency
    If a medical emergency occurred you will need to supply an official letter from the hospital or doctor confirming you were involved in a medical emergency at the time the fine was issued then you can apply for an infringement review. We will not withdraw fines where medical appointments were delayed or took longer than expected unless it was a medical emergency.
  • You cannot afford to pay this fine
    An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances, however, you may request a payment plan or an extension if you meet the criteria.
  • You did not register your pet
    If your pet is registered with another Victorian Council, you will need to supply proof of registration as supporting documentation in your infringement review application. If you have recently acquired your pet, you will need to supply proof of adoption or ownership. We will not withdraw fines where you were unaware of the need to register your pet, or you did not have time to register your pet.
  • Your dog escaped from home
    We do not withdraw fines where you were unaware your gate/door/fence was open or unsecured, or where your dog dug its way out or escaped through a hole in the fence. If your dog escaped during a home invasion or after it was stolen, you can apply for an infringement review and you will need to supply a police report as supporting documentation.

 

When can I apply?

You may apply for the review of an infringement up until the date it is determined to be lodged at Court for inaction or non-payment.

Improving drainage and flood mitigation

We’re undertaking drainage works and upgrades across Manningham to reduce flood risk.

We prioritise drainage works by considering:

  • knowledge of local flooding and relative impacts compared with other locations
  • the scale of the required works
  • asset condition records and maintenance history 
  • community feedback
  • the timing of other proposed works, including roadworks.

Project timeframes may be impacted by various factors like major road projects or large-scale developments across Manningham.

Find out about the latest drainage projects in Manningham.

 

Flood and stormwater management

We’ve partnered with Melbourne Water to undertake flood mapping for Manningham, to better understand flood risk.

This work will assist flood management by:

  • improving understanding of the frequency, severity and location of flood risks within catchments
  • assisting Council to better plan and prioritise mitigation activities
  • helping to plan for future development
  • building community awareness of flood risk
  • informing emergency management planning.

The Manningham Flood Mapping Project will also inform the development of Manningham Council’s Integrated Water Management Strategy.

This strategy will review flooding and stormwater management risks and respond to emerging challenges, including:

  • population growth
  • development pressure
  • climate change and associated increasing flood and drought risk.

Find out more.

A new Stormwater Management Strategy for Manningham

We’re developing a Stormwater Management Strategy to help identify, manage and reduce flood risk to people, property, infrastructure and the environment.

The Strategy will guide our planning and investment in the long-term Capital Works Program to support a healthy, safe and resilient community.
