People who park in disability parking spaces without a permit will be slugged double the fine, up from $266 to $533.
The increase, being imposed by Logan City Council, is in line with state legislation.
New fines will come into effect once the amendment is gazetted by the state government.
There was a community consultation period which ended October 23, but no submissions were received.
Council is committed to enforcing the appropriate use of disability parking spaces under the Access and Inclusion Plan 2019-2022.
City Lifestyle chair Laurie Koranski said Council’s parking officers monitor disability parking bays on roads, on Council property and at some large shopping centres.
“We encourage motorists to ensure they are parking correctly and leave disability parking bays for those who need them and are authorised to use them.” Cr Koranski said.
Queensland Police may also issue fines to people who park in disability parking bays without a permit.
