resident permit holders only PCN

lkjasd

I parked in a permit holders only zone on a Saturday. The sign stated Sat 8:30am-1:30pm so from my understanding I was eligible to park after 1:30pm if i am not a permit holder.

The PCN stated that the vehicle was observed from 13:28-13:39. Does this mean that I was parked for 2 minutes in an area where I shouldn't have been parked. All the photos in the evidence were taken after 13:40. 

I am planning to appeal but I would like some advice on the best wording for challenging the PCN

Depends on the sign and what the PCN says as the contravention. The council PCN experts are on a different forum: FTLA.

The sign stated:
'Resident permit holders only Mon-Fri 8:30am-6:30pm Sat 8:30am-1:30pm'
The contravention states 'Parked in a resident or shared use parking place or zone without a valid virtual permit or clearly displaying a valid physical permit or voucher or pay and display ticket issued for that place where required, or without payment of the parking charge'

Sounds like it was not properly issued because there is usually some sort of criteria with council enforcement that says a PCN can't be issued less than 3 minutes before a restriction ends.

However, the council PCN experts are on a different forum: FTLA. Google it. Post pics of the sign & the PCN there.
