Our officers regularly patrol school zones to monitor parking compliance and educate the community about road rules.
Illegal parking in school zones
We have a zero-tolerance approach to illegal parking in school zones. If you park illegally in a school zone you will be issued with a fine. These parking offences carry higher penalties and the loss of demerit points.

School road safety program
We provide road and traffic school safety programs at the start of the school year. Our officers attend all schools in Sutherland Shire to educate parents and carers on parking restrictions in school zones.
