Nominate another driver or owner 

You will need to submit a Nomination to the City of Unley if you were not the driver at the time of the offence(s) or if you sold the vehicle and transferred ownership before the offence. The Nomination must provide the full name and address details of the driver/new owner.  Incomplete Nominations cannot be accepted.

Do not pay the expiation, as the notice will be re-issued into the nominated driver or owner's name once we have received the Nomination.

Step 1.Reasons for review

The Expiation of Offences Act 1996 and Australian Road Rules include provisions that allow an expiation notice to be withdrawn if certain circumstances exist or the offence could be considered trifling (for the special meaning of trifling see Section 4(2) of the Expiation of Offences Act 1996). 

Step 2.Lodge your review
