Once an agreement is in place between the City of Melbourne and an owner or occupier, parking officers will visit the area as part of their regular patrols or on request and will encourage compliance with parking rules and regulations.
City of Melbourne parking enforcement officers can issue infringement notices on private property if the property owner has an agreement with the City of Melbourne. For example, the privately owned tenant or visitor car park of an apartment block may be controlled by the City of Melbourne by arrangement with the property owner.
