Double-parking
It is an offence to double park. When parking in a two-way street you must park on the left-hand side of the road.
Your vehicle must face the direction of travel, that is: passenger side must be parked to the kerb and not the steering wheel side except in a one-way street.
Parking outside of parking bay lines
You must park within the marked lines of the parking bay.
A driver cannot stop on a bicycle path, footpath, shared path or a dividing strip/median strip adjacent to a length of road in a built-up area, unless there is permissive signage.
Parking and footpaths
Drivers must not stop on a road in a position that obstructs access by vehicles or pedestrians to, or from, a footpath ramp or a similar way of access to a footpath.
There is potential for pedestrians and others, particularly those in wheelchairs, motorised wheelchairs and prams to be obstructed.
Obstructing driveways
Drivers must not park across a driveway and must always allow clear passage for access and egress.
Please note: our Local Laws also prohibit the sale of vehicles on roads or Council controlled land.
The following appeals would not be considered valid reasons for withdrawal of parking infringements:
- Stopped for a brief period.
- No one objected to me parking there.
- It is my driveway and I am not obstructing anyone.
- There was still room for a person to get through.
