Local Authority Parking Wardens and Enforcement

James Kent made this Official Information request to Ministry of Transport

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for James Kent to read a recent response and update the status.

From: James Kent

Dear Ministry of Transport,

I would like to kindly request the following information (If available):

1. I note that the Land Transport Act specifies that a parking warden is entitled to demand the details of the driver, or anyone in a vehicle, while enforcing parking offences. It is a criminal offence if the driver refuses this information. Why are parking wardens entitled by law to this information if everything they need can be obtained from the registration plate of a vehicle?

2. I also note that the Land Transport Act specifies that a parking warden can direct the driver or person in charge of a vehicle to move their vehicle if it causes an obstruction. Why is it an offence to fail to provide your details, but there is no specified offence for refusing to comply with the directions of a parking warden? Was this an oversight?

3. I note that the Land Transport Act allows parking wardens to order incorrectly-registered vehicles off the road via a "Notice". What is the prescribed form for this notice?

3. Why was it decided that parking wardens may break traffic rules if necessary in the execution of their duty (Road User Rule)?

4. I note that infringement regulations were updated to specify that infringements can be served via an electronic address, why were Stationary Vehicle Offences excluded from this?

5. LTA Section 128D States:

"A local authority that appoints a person under subsection (1) is liable for the actions of that person as a parking warden in all respects as if—
(a)
that person were an officer or employee of the local authority (whether or not that is the case); and
(b)
any directions given or control exercised by any other person over the parking warden in that capacity were directions given or control exercised by the local authority."

Does the ministry have information on what this actually means? Does it apply to contractors?

6. Why are local authority parking wardens permitted to enforce special vehicle lane offences, and offences involving trucks not displaying a red marker light during the hours of darkness? This makes the name "parking warden" a misnomer, as it appears they deal with matters other than parking.

7. I note that parking wardens were also entitled to enforce offences relating to the drivers of Small Passenger Service Vehicles leaving their vehicles unattended on a Taxi Stand, or causing an obstruction on the road, or using a Taxi Stand when not available for hire. These offences were removed by the MOT when the Operator Licensing Rule was replaced in 2017. Why were these offences decided not to be continued?

8. What is the update on Parking Infringement (along with other infringement penalties) fees being increased due to the fact that they haven't gone up in decades, and it is very often just stalled when brought up to be reviewed. Can the MOT please release the proposed new penalties for parking offences? (I may make a complaint to the ombudsman if this is not released).

9. Is the MOT considering empowering parking wardens to enforce an even greater range of offences?

Yours faithfully,

James Kent

Dear Rebecca Chapman,

This does not answer my request. I've asked for a list of P-Codes that Parking Officers have powers to enforce, all I've received are just a list of all the P-Codes by NZ Police. I believe it's the duty of the MOT to find this information as they are responsible for the Land Transport Act.

Yours sincerely,

Apologies for the delay in responding to you.

 

The Ministry of Transport does not hold any further information in scope
of your 29 April 2024 request for, “a full list of Precedent-Codes
(P-Codes) enforceable by parking wardens, include P-series, K-Series,
V-Series, C- Series. Please exclude P-Codes created by local authority
bylaws.”

 

While the Ministry of Transport administers for the Land Transport Act, we
are not responsible for the operational Precedent Code system.

 

We asked Police whether they had the information you were after, and their
response was:

 

“While a police officer holds the powers of a parking warden and can in
theory enforce the same offences that a parking warden can and then some,
Police makes no differentiation between the offences that are enforceable
only by a police officer and those that also enforceable by parking
wardens. We therefore do not hold the information sought.”

 

The information you requested is available within the document we provided
on 18 June 2024
[https://fyi.org.nz/request/23252/respons....

 

Sorry we can’t be of more assistance on this occasion.

 

Kind regards

Rebecca

Dear Rebecca Chapman,

 

This does not answer my request. I've asked for a list of P-Codes that
Parking Officers have powers to enforce, all I've received are just a list
of all the P-Codes by NZ Police. I believe it's the duty of the MOT to
find this information as they are responsible for the Land Transport Act.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

James Kent
