Hi everyone,

Wollongong Council parking inspectors are trialling new technology that takes photos of cars’ position and license plates instead of marking the tyres.

I recently heard of an experience where a parking ticket was incorrectly issued because the Parking Compliance system incorrectly flagged the car next to identical looking trees.

I’m a journalism student at UOW and wondering if anyone else has had this experience, as I would like to write a story about this change and the community’s opinions.

Please leave a comment or send me a message if you have had a similar experience or anything else to contribute!

Thank you 🙂
