New Zealand increases disabled parking fines by 400% to $750 and updates towing fees by October.

New Zealand will increase parking fines for misusing disabled spaces by 400% to $750 and update regulated towage and impoundment fees by October. The government aims to improve compliance with parking rules and ensure towing operators cover costs effectively, with parking infringement fees also set to rise by 70% to reflect inflation. These changes were last adjusted in 2004 and are intended to level the playing field for disabled people, preventing disruptions in their daily lives.
