It repeals the earlier 2000 bylaw and applies to the parking region in Schedule 1 (cl.1.4, 1.5). The local government sets signs, fees and permit rules (cl.1.8, 1.9, 7.3); authorised officers enforce rules, may mark tyres, issue fines or impound vehicles (cl.8.5, 9.1, Schedule 2), so drivers pay fees, display tickets/permits and face specified penalties."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/city-of-kwinana-parking-and-parking-facilities-local-law-2018","history":"/api/acts/city-of-kwinana-parking-and-parking-facilities-local-law-2018/history","analysis":"/api/acts/city-of-kwinana-parking-and-parking-facilities-local-law-2018/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/city-of-kwinana-parking-and-parking-facilities-local-law-2018/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/city-of-kwinana-parking-and-parking-facilities-local-law-2018/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/city-of-kwinana-parking-and-parking-facilities-local-law-2018/documents"}}
