We've all experienced it — you’re at a shopping centre, and there's a car parked in the disabled parking spot without a permit. Or perhaps at your local gym and there's a car that's overstayed its welcome. These spaces are meant for everyone's convenience, but sometimes they're misused. Here at Snap Send Solve, we understand that private car parks are not typically managed by local councils or road authorities, making it tricky to report these incidents.
Disabled parking bays, especially in places like shopping centres, private clinics, and other private properties, can be enforceable by local governments in Australia and New Zealand. With Snap Send Solve, capturing evidence of such parking violations is straightforward. Just take a Snap, Send it through our platform, and watch it get Solved.

Each Australian state and territory has specific guidelines under the ADPS.
In New Zealand, property owners dictate the enforcement of mobility parking permits on private land. Action can be taken against unauthorised parking if the property owner requires the display of a Mobility Parking Permit.
