James Sheffield shared the photo of the car to the Brisbane City Council Facebook page.
‘Plenty of parking around yet a BCC car chooses to park in a no standing zone,’ he said.
‘Will you fine your staff like you do the public? I’m sure we’d all like to know the result and see the ticket.’
A Brisbane Council spokeswoman replied to the post saying the photo had been passed onto ‘the relevant team to investigate’.
A Facebook user named Shane posted another photo of a blue council car parked across a driveway, saying ‘lead by example BCC’.
Tyrone Sinclair posted a photo of a car parked within a demolition zone.
A Brisbane City Council spokesman told Daily Mail Australia council officers are ‘expected to undertake their duties in accordance with council’s code of conduct as well as local, state and federal laws’
‘So can anyone tell me what’s wrong with this picture?’ he said.
‘While our jobsite is poached for unpaid tickets that is where your employee parks? In the middle of a driveway which is a demolition zone and with a big yellow line?’
A Brisbane City Council spokesman told Daily Mail Australia council officers are ‘expected to undertake their duties in accordance with council’s code of conduct as well as local, state and federal laws’.
Brisbane City Council said they will be investigating the photos of the illegally parked cars
‘Under Queensland Road Rules, council parking officers are able to park in safe locations to undertake parking enforcement activities.
‘Each year council receives up to 18,000 requests to urgently respond to illegally parked vehicles.
‘Council has a comprehensive parking education and enforcement program to encourage motorists to abide by parking laws and put a stop to illegal parking that endangers other motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.’
