Last night I was visiting my sister and my new nephew in hospital and was running a bit late. I had earlier in the day looked on streetview for on-street parking that might be available at night (rather than paying $20+ for an hour at the hospital), and saw that the zones ended at 5pm, so should be free to park in afterwards.
Arriving late at about 7:10pm and without much thought I parked in a slightly different area than I had looked at and rushed off to the hospital so we could be there as long as possible before the 8:00pm end of visiting hours. Returning to the car at around 8:30pm, I noticed that about 10 cars down from where I parked, there were some Brisbane City Council Parking Enforcement taking photos of a parked vehicle. I thought it was odd, but then went and quickly checked the parking signage and saw that I was actually within a paid 4P zone than ends at 10pm.
I quickly checked the car and didn't see any infringement notices on it, so we left quickly, and hoped for the best that I was just lucky enough to get back in time before them checking my car.
I've seen some pictures online of printed parking Infringement Notices from Brisbane City Council, but can't find anything more recent than 2017. I know that a lot of Council's are automating systems and going more paperless, so I am worried that even though I didn't get a slip under the wiper, I might get a fine in the mail in a week or two.
I have obviously done the wrong thing here and had I realised it was still within the paid parking time I would have either tried to find somewhere else or paid quickly, but I didn't.
For my piece of mind can anyone let me know if they have revived a parking fine from Brisbane City Council recently and they got a paper slip under the wiper, or if they have received a parking fine in the mail at a later date?
It was likely that they haven't gotten to your car yet
