How Casey Saved $87K a Year on Council Fine Collection
For most councils, the infringement payment experience hasn't changed in a decade: outdated portals, no flexible payment options, and an enforcement cycle that costs more than it recovers. In Victoria, 54% of every fine issued is never paid, and each unpaid fine costs $87.60 in referral fees just to chase, often more than the fine itself.
The City of Casey took a different path. By switching to a single connected payment journey purpose-built for infringements, Casey is now saving $87,000 a year in Fines Victoria lodgement fees alone, with hundreds of thousands more in recovered revenue. Whitehorse City Council saw the same shift, cutting external referrals by 63% in three months.
This case study shows how the five-step Payble journey works, what Casey and Whitehorse have achieved, and how the same approach fits into your existing P&R system without retraining your team.
