Payment Notice

You're probably visiting this page after receiving a Payment Notice or reminder letter. A Payment Notice is not a fine - but rather, is a demand for payment of liquidated damages for breach of contract. Payment Notices are securely affixed to the windscreen of a vehicle detected in breach of the contractual conditions of parking.

As with most parking facilities, our car parks are patrolled by parking auditors, whose task is to ensure that those customers who do pay for our facilities don't have to subsidise those who don't pay. They also check to ensure that only those entitled to park in disabled/loading and drop off bays do so. It's all about ensuring fairness - to our valued customers and to our clients for whom we operate the car parks.

Most payment notices are issued for the following breaches:

  • Failure to display a current ticket on the dashboard
  • Parking in a disabled bay without displaying a current ticket and disability permit
  • Parking in a loading zone
  • Parking in unauthorised bay

All we ask of those using our car parks is for compliance with our terms and conditions! Persons to whom a Payment Notice is issued will receive a reminder if the notice remains unpaid. Beyond that, legal procedure will comence.

Payments

Payment is due within 14 days of the issue date. If you prefer, you can pay in person at Courtenay Central Car Park, 220 Wakefield Street, Wellington or to pay by mail, post a cheque or money order to (with the payment notice number written on the back) to:

Objecting to a Payment Notice

If a Payment Notice has been issued to you and you consider there is a basis upon which it should be reconsidered, you may apply to have it reviewed under Care Park’s disputes process. All Applications for Review must be in writing - we are unable to initiate the review process by telephone.

You have 14 days from the date of issue of the Payment Notice (or from the date of our first reminder letter) to lodge an Application for Review.
