Parking Tickets
If you have been issued with a ticket, prompt payment can often result in a discount.
You can pay fines at the Council's main Administration
Building on Lyndon Street East, Hastings. The office is open
from 8.00am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday. Only the full amount
can be paid, with the option of EFTPOS or cash. There are
no installment options.
You can also send the fine amount by post, along with your
ticket, to:
Parking Team
Hastings District Council
Private Bag 9002
Hastings 4156
If your parking fine is not paid within 28 days of the ticket being issued, the vehicle holder will receive a reminder notice in the post. If the fine is not paid within 28 days of the reminder being issued, it will be lodged with the courts. The fine, plus an administration cost, will then need to be paid to the Court (not to Council).
Explanations
An explanation can be written to the Council when vehicle owners believe that they should not have to pay for the ticket. The ticket number and vehicle registration should be quoted on the letter of explanation. A name and address should also be provided.

Council staff will take into consideration such things as the requirements of the law, and general consistency of decisions when deciding whether to cancel the infringement notice or not.
