In NSW there is a 24foot, 7.4m approx max parking limit, in South Aussie no one knew- had heard of such a law, well after getting pingedtoday i discovered it is the same as NSW! (LoLz) Another good reason to have a ten foot microvan, unless you want to seriously camp in all weather & places.  |

Im not quite understanding. Are you saying that in NSW vehicles over 7.4m long are not permitted to park in certain places? What places specifically?

Heya what happened was in the mid to late 1980s many yachtie types started parking 4WD & their trailer yachts all over Pittwater, taking up 3-4 car spots, they left them there for weeks at a time, Councils already have in place a ban on commercial vehicle, like trucks semi trailers etc (heavy vehicle) usually over 4.5 ton so they can not park in residential areas. When the laws were updated in the 1990s it means that any combination over 7.4 long, outside of an industrial area, can be booked. Of course the silly thing is that one just unhitches and moves forwards (taking up more space) and if both vehicles, in this case a caravan & 2 ton Transit van, are registered then it is totes legal, as long as no time limit applies to that spot! |

Hi Ate
Last year a friend of mine took his box trailer with a kayak on top to the Gold Coast and he read the sign at the boat ramp and only cars with boats trailer could park in in this area etc etc. So he went out onto the street and noticed the signs says no boat trailer parking allowed so parked there. Guess what was waiting for him when he came back from his paddle.
A new shopping centre as well has a sign no vehicles over 6m, local delivery excepted.
