One resident claims that some people who have holiday homes on the Coast leave boats and trailers on the street, unattended for months. Others are stored on set backs designed to accommodate visitors to residential properties, he says. But Council says in NSW a vehicle (including caravans, boats and trailers) can be parked on a public road, including road setbacks, when the vehicle is registered, in accordance with Road Rules 2014.
They can’t be parked in time-restricted spots, or in no-parking spots or clearways. “A registered vehicle lawfully parked on a public road is not considered unattended (in accordance with the provisions of the Public Spaces (Unattended Property) Act 2021 (PSUP Act),” a Council spokesperson said. “Should residents have safety concerns they are encouraged to make a report to Council for investigation and direct response.
“Residents may make a report to Council, and provide relevant details, via the online Customer Service Centre at centralcoastcouncil.custhelp.com.
