Parking fines issued by Merri-Bek City Council (previously Moreland City Council)
Published on 03 Jul 2025
Merri-bek City Council (previously Moreland City Council) has advised of a historical administrative error with the amount imposed for fines issued by the council for 11 parking offence types between 1 July 2013 and 11 June 2025.
If you received any of the below parking offences between this time, and have paid the fine in full, you may be eligible for a partial refund from Merri-bek City Council, even if you made a payment to Fines Victoria for the fine.
Visit the Merri-bek website for more information on the Merri-bek City Council Parking Fines Refund Scheme. The scheme opened on 2 July 2025 and will be available until 30 June 2026.
Fines Victoria has placed all impacted outstanding fines registered with us on hold. While the fines are on hold, no further enforcement action will be taken, and no additional fees will be added.
We will continue to work with Merri-bek City Council as they take action to resolve this matter.
