MORLEY GALLERIA: DEBATE RAGES OVER PERTH WOMAN’S PARKING FINE

A Perth woman has been urged not to pay a parking fine she received for
overstaying her welcome at a shopping centre carpark.

She was fined $65 after she parked beyond the three-hour limit at Galleria
Shopping Centre in Morley last week and sought advice from social media.

“Anyone received a parking infringement at the Galleria? I have shopped and
parked there for 24 years and never had a ticket,” she wrote.

Many good Samaritans assured the driver she shouldn’t have to pay the fine
because the shopping centre does not have the power to impose fines.

“Don’t pay. They are not the police. They are private security. Tear up and bin.
Bloody joke,” one commented on a screenshot of the notice.

Another person agreed, “You are not legally obliged to pay these sorts of fines;
they cannot be enforced”.

“Check the back of it; it will say this is not a fine. I have never paid for a
Wilson’s parking ticket, and there have been no issues,” a third wrote.

According to a Galleria spokesperson, customers can park at the shopping centre
for three hours.

A legal professional echoed the thoughts of those in the comments, explaining
that the woman doesn’t have to pay the fine.

Defence lawyer James Clements said only a statutory body has the power to issue
fines and that parking signs across the carpark are nothing more than a bullying
tactic.

“Ignore it. Or write back and say, ‘I dispute this and do not intend to pay’,”
he said.
