Most people pay for their parking through street meters or machines. They brought in $23.9 million during the financial year, compared with $18.3 million from the CellOPark app.
Residents made almost 44,000 complaints about illegal parking over that time.
'A single car stopped in a clearway can cause traffic chaos for thousands of people,' the LNP council's customer services chair Sarah Hutton said.
The new data was obtained by the Labor opposition through questions on notice.
Leader Jarred Cassidy argued council has not been forthcoming in how it spends the significant funds raised through fines.
'When residents get pinged, they would at least expect that their money is going towards projects to bust congestion and make our streets safer,' he said in a statement.
'What we have learnt today … is that the LNP Council cannot detail where exactly parking infringement revenue is going.
'They also can't detail how much they've collected after spending almost $7 million on AI technology to help them ping people.'
Hutton dismissed the claims.
'Every dollar raised by ensuring people park appropriately and safely is invested straight back into the community to deliver services and build better roads to keep Brisbane moving,' she said.
'This includes projects like our Moggill Road Corridor Upgrade, our turn-up-and-go Brisbane Metro bus rapid transit system, our Clearway Action Plan and smarter corridors.'
