I think I may have parked in a park for longer than was permitted, but when I came back to my car there wasn't a ticket on my windscreen or anything. I've never had a parking ticket before - how do I know if I've been issued one? Will I receive it in the mail?
You were probably lucky enough that you didn’t get book by a Ranger
Most here don't know what they're talking about. Just because there wasn't a ticket on the windscreen, doesn't mean you won't get one by mail. Give it 2 to 3 weeks, then you're safe.
they could drop it on you anytime when you least expect it
If you had a ticket, then you would have a ticket. If you didn't get a ticket then you don't have a ticket. Since you stated you didn't get a ticket, then this means that you don't have a ticket.
Hope this helps clear that up for you.
Would be on the windscreen. I was unlucky enough to receive one when parked at a funeral a couple years back. I wasn’t 100% there, but it was my fault entirely. Will be about 130-140 bucks. If it’s not on windscreen you never got one.
Do you have a service NSW account and own the car in question linked to this? You can view parking fines in the app and that usually is updated within a day or 2. Eventually would also come in the mail.
I suspect and hope you got lucky though. Fingers crossed.
Yep, they do drive by now and you get the ticket later. In some places at least.
Unfortunately incorrect. They can and do sometimes just mail them as well as update it digitally on your service NSW account if you have one. Most leave a ticket but it's not a definite.

Replied with this on another comment, sorry for double up.

Hi Everyone!
New the to the NSW subreddit
A group of us are currently heading into the Kiama/Gerringong area for an outdoor wedding taking place tomorrow. The recent rains have wreaked havoc on the venue. The bride and groom said we need boots or we’re screwed.
Where does a group of 6 Canadians find boots in that area at the last minute?
SOS!
Kmart or Target in Shellharbour
Anaconda stores sell them too. BCF maybe too.
Sheep farms.
Local produce stores (the ones for buying animal feed and farm supplies)
Or Bunnings
Good shout! Thank you
Legends! Mother of the groom currently en route to Bunnings. We called and they have the boots.
Will post a picture of our stylish wedding footwear when appropriate 🫶
Edited: a word because the south coast train was wobbly and scenic as heck
Good luck!
Have fun! You may need brollies too!
Legendary kiwi formal wear in isle 21 at my local. Get the bunnings app for instore locations and if they have stock.

Oh shit did I downvote? Didnt realise, sorry. Not on reddit much. Ill fix it up
Strange moderation on r/sydney, where they wouldn't allow this submission (told me it was a 'national story' despite it talking directly about record rainfall in the Sydney region and what has caused it)
It's an exceptionally wet one
Bring your gum boots
Don't worry you won't melt
May float away in the floods though
In which case fill your gum boots with fresh water and await rescue
I have a VW golf with a check light light on the dash. The lights are working correctly, they're just new led lights so the car thinks the bulbs aren't drawing enough power.
Will it have trouble passing rego check today?
Do it properly so the CEL doesn't report the error. Add ballast resistors to the lamp circuits.
Black tape they’ll never know
They may fail you, depending on the place you go for the rego check. You can get load resistors from eBay, wire them in and JB weld them to a metal bracket somewhere hidden (they get hot)
Or, put your old bulbs back in for the rego check, then swap the LEDs later. Probably illegal but it's your call
I did but I think the unit that made the car think the lights were the correct voltage. It's just started playing up every now and then I'm booked in for rego today so not much time to change. Guess if it fails I'll try to fix it up.
It's the whole light unit. Regos in 2 hours so I'll just put it through if it fails I'll have to fix it somehow. Thanks mate.
Yeah if you give them a heads up so they don't waste time looking for a blown globe they should be understanding. Best to ask first to avoid a fail
I fiddled with the unit and the error went off. Hopefully that gets it through till I can fix the left tail light ballast or whatever it's called. Fingers crossed they don't hit a bump driving it in and make the light go on again.
He's not.
He's being dictated to by his own federal government that signed a treaty. A treaty with legal obligations.
He's not standing up for national self-determination but undermining it.
I guess international treaty's don't mean shit to this man.
The UN was a nice idea. needs an overhaul. put it on a diet, give it some teeth.
Hi everyone a quick question if it’s not breaking the rules.
With the caveat of knowing that it’s like 250,000 hectares so just saying “the blue mountains” might be a bit touristy ignorant - we are currently on a trip in Aus been here for a while now and we are making are we down to Sydney in a camper van (original I know).
Coming down from Newcastle, with the floods and rainfall that has been happening and still is happening, is it still possible to include them in our trip?
Thanks any advise/answers are helpful!
You can definitely include the most “touristy” bits. The discovery centre, Three Sisters, Scenic World are all easily accessible from sealed roads with large carparks. You’ll get all of the standard views and photo opportunities, cultural and historical information, $11 sausage rolls
Sure, if you want to go tramping through the bush to the more secluded parts then you’re gonna be in some strife. But the main couple of areas have been heavily developed into accessible tourist attractions.
You can also speak to Blue Mountains Tourism (part of the local council) for information about what's open or not.
Megalong Valley is amazing, but be aware of the water levels in the creeks, and very careful of the road conditions going in if it's wet (lots of hairpins, bet slippery in patches).
The scenic bells line of road will be usually impacted by heavy rains. But the Great Western Highway should be fine. Blue mountain towns are beautiful in rain.
I'm in SA but we have spent a lot of the past few months over that way. the live traffic app for NSW was great for alerting me to closed roads. We had to change our whole first trip over due to closed roads, it was stressful.
There are lots of good campsites in the Megalong Valley
If you’re coming to Sydney anyway the Blue Mountains isn’t much farther - depending on where you start it’s only 1-1.5hr drive to the mid mountains where most of the touristy stuff is.
If you stay on the main highway (which runs through the mountains) there’s plenty of walks and lookouts just off the highway, and you can choose to do low activity things like visit a lookout or, weather permitting, go for a walk. This time of year it won’t be too busy.
Yeah, you should be able to do all the main ‘touristy’ bits and check out the towns. The National Parks website has the info on what trails are closed.
I live on the Bells Line of Road side of the mountains and it wouldn’t even occur to me that you couldn’t visit the area as a whole- there’s just certain tracks that are closed but many are open. Enjoy the mountains- it’s a beautiful area.
There were two posts recently in /r/sydney about keeping pets when renting ([first](https://np.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/xx0t64/i_inherited_a_cat_that_hasnt_had_the_microchip/), [second](https://np.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/ybzd56/renting_in_sydney_with_a_small_dog/)), and it's a recurring topic there. But if the law changes it'll affect the entire state, so I'm crossposting to this sub as well.
Looks like the NSW government is conducting a survey and gathering feedback about the current law. Fill it out if you're a tenant with pets, tenant who wants to have pets, if you sympathise with tenants having to beg landlords for permission to have pets, or if you have any other feedback:
[https://www.haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au/pets-in-rental-homes](https://www.haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au/pets-in-rental-homes)
The survey is open until 2 December.
Rather rent to people with pets than people with kids
Thanks for this
What if you dont want to force owners to allow pets. can those people leave feedback too?
Either I'm confused or something is misleading here.. the site states...
"In other states and territories, rules have recently changed to make it easier for tenants to keep pets in rental homes. We’d like your feedback on the current rules in NSW and whether they should also be changed."
"The rules around keeping pets have recently changed in some other Australian States and Territories to make it easier for tenants to keep pets. For example, the landlord may be required to go to the Tribunal to refuse a pet, or may only be allowed to refuse a pet for certain reasons."
"Question 2: Should the current NSW rental laws on keeping pets in rental properties also be changed?"
OP statement seems to sound like the law changing; would be a bad thing for tenants wanting pets without the need to beg?
So which is it? Because it sounds like they want to change the rules for benefit of tenants 🤷‍
Edit: to remove unnecessary reference
Yeah you can.
user of 10+ years peacing out - thanks for fucking up reddit - alternatives include 'Tilde' and 'Lemmy' - hope to see you on a less ruined website. Fuck capitalism, fuck VCs and IPOs, fuck /u/spez
What? How does a statement saying it makes it easier for tenants to own pets have a value judgement on it?
The wording is quite unambiguously non-judgmental.
I don't own a property, but I feel the owner should have reasonable control on how the property is rented. If they decide the number of tenants, that should include animals too.
>Otherwise, follow the legal framework of tenants having a right to 'quiet enjoyment'
And what about my right to quiet enjoyment? you don't leave your child at home unsupervised while you go to work. Yet for some reason it's perfectly fine to leave a dog home all day.
My experience with dog owners has generally been quite poor. I believe pet ownership is a responsibility, not a right, and many don't take that responsibility seriously.
It's a reference to hitchhikers. Just trying to keep it light
