Apply to park a heavy vehicle on private residential land

The current Local Law regulates the parking of an oversize vehicle on private residential land.

In certain circumstances a Permit may be issued to the owner or the occupier of the land to permit parking.

The purpose of the permit assessment is to ensure that the oversized vehicle does not impact on the amenity of the area, neighbouring properties, public safety or cause damage to Council assets.

Prior to approval being granted a number of considerations will be assessed.

When applying for a permit, provide as much information as possible why consideration should be given.
