Phil parked between two white lines but still copped a $140 fine

Exclusive: Another Australian has been stung by 'confusing' parking rules at a popular Sydney beach.

Phil* parked in what he thought was a marked space at the carpark near South Maroubra Surf Lifesaving Club in November.

After a day at the beach, he returned to a $140 parking fine for not parking "wholly within a parking bay".

A Sydney local thought this was a parking spot but copped a fine when he left his car here.

Phil was baffled by the fine.

He snapped photos showing he had parked between two white lines which he believed marked a parking space and requested a review through Revenue NSW.

"It's very frustrating," he told nine.com.au.

"To receive $140 fine over an honest mistake in a cost of living crisis is unspeakable – all for a couple of hours at the beach."
