Obtaining a Receipt

The Pay By Plate parking system is ticket-less, so no receipt is issued. If you require a GST receipt for business or other purposes, follow the instructions on the screen which will appear after you make your payment.

Once payment has been made the meter will ask if you require an eReceipt. If you select 'YES' you will see a 4-digit code and the web address 'my-receipt.com'.

Go online to www.my-receipt.com and enter the 4-digit code and your number plate to produce an eReceipt.
