Traffic matters and the Local Court process
The NSW Local Court deals with summary criminal and driving matters. General traffic categories may include the following, depending on the allegation and documents in the individual matter:
- Prescribed concentration of alcohol (PCA): an allegation concerning alcohol concentration while driving.
- Driving under the influence (DUI): an allegation that a person drove while under the influence of alcohol or another substance. See NSW DUI offences.
- Prescribed-drug driving: an allegation involving a prescribed illicit drug detected in connection with driving. See NSW drug driving offences.
- Required sample allegation: an allegation of refusing or failing to provide a required sample.
- Related licence allegation: a driving or licence allegation connected with the traffic matter.
A Court Attendance Notice identifies the alleged offence and tells the recipient where and when to attend. The notice, current court listing and later court correspondence control the venue and attendance details. A general location search or this page does not establish that a particular case will be heard at Parramatta or predict an outcome.
Preparing for a listed appearance
- Read the Court Attendance Notice and record the listed court, date, time, allegations and any stated instructions.
- Keep police documents, licence correspondence, notices and previous court material together for orderly review.
- Check whether the listing is a first mention, plea, sentencing event or another procedural appearance. The DUI court process guide explains general stages.
- Allow time for security, travel and locating the courtroom, and review general information about NSW DUI penalties without treating it as a prediction for an individual matter.
