Pay & Display Parking
The use of Pay and Display ticket machines is a successful and proven system that has been implemented with car parking nationwide for many years.
Simply display a valid ticket for parking on the dashboard of your vehicle at all times while located in the car park.
Pay and Display ticket machines are conveniently located throughout our car parks and are easy to use. Contractual Terms and Conditions of parking are also displayed prominently at entries and throughout our car parks.
When you enter an ANCP car park, it is on the understanding that you will adhere to these simple conditions of entry*.
You should read the Contractual Terms and Conditions of parking when you enter the car park, as the conditions and parking bay costs may vary.

*Parking made available by landlords is provided on private property whereby owners have the legal right to determine terms and conditions of parking based on the nature of the type of business and/or service provided to customers.
Questions and Answers
Why do I have to get a ticket for free parking?
We need to know the time the vehicle commenced parking within the free period in order to regulate car space usage.
This system discourages those who don’t pay or take advantage of the facility for unrelated activity, eg. people parking all day to commute to work or other purposes which are detrimental to ensuring regular turnover for patrons and clients.
Why do you issue Payment Notices?
ANCP car parks are patrolled by trained parking patrol staff who check and ensure a fair and proper use of the facility which includes ensuring disabled bays are not abused. The Contractual Terms and Conditions of parking are clearly detailed on signage.
Payment Notices are generally issued in most cases for the following breaches:
- A valid or current ticket is not clearly displayed on the dashboard of a vehicle.
- A vehicle parked in a designated disabled bay that is not displaying a current authorised disabled permit.
- Parking in a loading zone for an excessive period of time or not engaged in setting down or loading goods.
Are these Payment Notices fines?
Payment notices are not fines. They are a payment of “liquidated damages” for breach of contract– in effect, a fee imposed on those who don’t comply with the conditions of entry and which includes costs such as administration and services.
ANCP is legally entitled to issue payment notices to people who fail to meet the Contractual Terms and Conditions of parking.
Recent legal cases have made it clear that where signage is clearly displayed and a person enters the car park it is reasonable to assume they have accepted the conditions of entry.
As with all car parking facilities throughout Australia, if a person chooses not to accept the terms & conditions of parking and use of any car park facility, they should immediately leave the car park and not use it.
How do you find out my details to follow-up on unpaid Payment Notices?
Car park operators are legally entitled to pursue Payment Notices against people who fail to meet the Contractual Terms and Conditions of parking in managed car parks.
When a failure to comply is detected, a Payment Notice is issued. Should no contact be received by the recipient and the Payment Notice remains unpaid we are able to seek information about the registered owner of a vehicle from the appropriate State Authority (eg. NSW Roads and Traffic Authority, VicRoads).
The right of car park operators to seek this information has been tested in court and the right of car park operators to pursue liquidated damages where patrons have not complied with the Contractual Terms and Conditions of parking has been established.
