Bayside Council is getting ready to crack down on vehicles parked illegally across or obstructing private driveways following a decision at the Council Meeting on Wednesday 22 October.

Council acknowledges that residents are frustrated and have safety concerns when they experience blocked driveways, restricting access to and from their properties.

Council’s current enforcement options — typically limited to issuing infringement notices — do not provide immediate relief.
Council will investigate options to improve compliance, deter repeat offenders, and help residents regain access to their properties promptly.

This will include the option of having offending vehicles towed at no cost to the resident.
