The parking of motor vehicles on footpaths / nature strips and offering them for sale is an offence under the Road Rules. This is legislation set by the State Government, and it is Council’s responsibility to enforce these rules.
A footpath / nature strip is defined as an area between the road and adjacent land eg. the area between your letterbox and the roadway.
Motorists must ensure that the footpath area is kept clear to ensure the safety of pedestrians and prevent them from being forced to walk on the road.
When Council identifies an issue, a warning may be issued to the registered vehicle owner. However, based on potential danger to the public and other road users, a warning may not always apply and vehicle owners may receive a fine in the first instance.
