Greater Dandenong residents owe the Sheriff’s Office more than $86 million.
The municipality places fifth in the state for outstanding fines.
Sheriff’s Office figures released on Thursday 14 June showed 24,371 debtors in Greater Dandenong on average owed $3569 each.
Victorian Sheriff Warwick Knight highlighted the importance of dealing with infringements early “to avoid additional penalties and the infringement becoming a warrant”.
“People who receive a fine can request an internal review, nominate a driver, apply for a payment plan or elect to have the matter heard by the court, and we encourage them to come and speak to us about their options,” he said.
