Hobsons Bay City Council

I hate being harsh and can admit I was in the wrong but there needs to be some sort of consistency when giving out fines.I parked in my own driveway and was sticking out a bit, I got a fine and ok that's fair enough. I don't appreciate the same council worker driving past my house for a week waiting for me to slip up so he could fine me....In addition, I see plenty of other drivers that park in the driveway sticking out and on the nature strip. No fines for them (I would rather everyone not get a fine) but a fine for me.

The Council has failed my family and I in every aspect when we have asked for their help in regards to noise complaints. Don't trust them to help you because they will make it as hard as possible for you to feel heard and acknowledged. Extremely disappointing and appalling effort on the Council's behalf.

Environmental planning is an absolute joke. Increasing encroachment on the beach to accommodate footpaths; lack of rubbish bins and rubbish collection in public spaces; cutting down old native trees and suggesting planting saplings will replace the lists habitat and shade.Construction sites not held accountable for nature step maintenance or the rubbish that is strewn about.Residents parking over the footpath and not being held accountable.I'm pleased you have beautified office space a table tennis table, now please spend some time ensuring your own policies are enforced!

Hobsons Bay councilors are nothing but theives in suits and ties! They gave me a parking fine while parked in a trailer parking spot because I did not have a trailer attached on a quiet Sunday afternoon mind you whilst I was trying to help out another boater who had troubles loading his boat on to his trailer. I have asked for an internal review and the review came back as you could have parked in the car parking! If you've been to the altona ramp then you know by the time you drive around to the car park the poor guy's boat would have been on the pavement. To the inspector who slapped the fine on my windshield I hope you sleep good at night fining hard working honest citizens of their hard earned money! $200 fine for parking in trailer parking in an empty parking lot is bull!

It's worst city council I know, the rate department is hopeless, I can not get an old rate notice through the phone and emails and registering E notice on their website and still have to pay 27 dollars through email to customer service to get my rate notice!One fact they seem to forget is that we pay thousands dollars each year so they have a job, so please start doing them and make it work for us not us works for them!I could not give a zero rating, otherwise I would!

Money hungry council, inadequate signage to mark where you cannot park but expect a distressed person to see the yellow lines on the corner of the street, whilst I had a legitimate reason that was out of my control/ exceptional circumstances and wrote to them, they still elected to fine me. What is the point of allowing someone to submit for a review if you won’t even read it and consider it? Do we have to drive a dead body to your desk before you will consider? I’m absolutely disgusted. Hope you will use my fine money to put in proper signage so no poor souls will accidentally make my mistake again.

HBCC more than happy to cut down trees that could pose a risk in 200yrs!HBCC more than happy to let building sites get messy, overgrown grass, rubbish all over the nature strips!HBCC more than happy to ignore Snap Send Solve ! Infact they will tell you it was solved even though the issue is still there!HBCC loves raising flags so much so it's the only events they throw for important dates. They raised the aboriginal flag for reconciliation week and it's been up since! NAIDOC week they pulled the flag down to throw another flag raising event!HBCC will take your money happily but if a refund is needed they just send a check......HBCC loves promoting their efforts to care for our environment but also loves destroying perfect existing habitats to create new better ones"HBCC loves putting signs up but can't follow their own parking signs!HBCC the biggest environmental destroyers digging and re digging up beaches to make them human friendly!HBCC happily taking your money day in day out and wasting it on stupid things! Like pruning perfect healthy trees so it fits in with their ideas!STOP DESTROYING OUR ENVIRONMENTSTOP WASTING OUR MONEYCOMMUNITY members have had enough!"

I had a chat with a town Planner Julian, he clarified a lot of grey areas with the zones. Very patient with me. 11/10 for customer service

I think is an abuse to have a street next to Laverton train station parking with no neighbor houses, and nominate the bays as permit. When the inside parking is full, this is a great" revenue day at expense of all train users. Shameful"

unfortunately it appears the software supporting the systems are out of date and would require some improvement. My experience was with applying for a parking permit. in order to have this approved I needed to physically visit the offices on three occasions (greater than an hour wait time on each occasion) before the permits were granted.
