Time for a talk over a beer (again?) armed with rules, and if no joy, time to call in the council ranger or whoever initially for a bit of moral support?
Except for the RAV 4 all those cars are illegally parked anyway. Pointing the wrong way are parking too close.
Logan Council told us that parking at the end of the cul de sac outside our house is illegal in Queensland. They have just painted yellow lines around the cul de sac to reinforce that it's illegal. I didn't realise until they told us. Not did the copper who lives in our street. So I suggest you ask your local council if they would book people parked there.
That's interesting. I shot off an email to council last night and will let you know the outcome re parking on the turnaround area of the cul-de-sac. Also asked council if they could paint a yellow line opposite my driveway but not optimistic about a favourable outcome.Quote:

Needless to say my relationship with them is not real flash at the moment.
Our street is zoned for eight storey development so the council may be more strict about parking than in quieter areas.
I have lived on a through street with a similar situation. Large family household, all had cars and a couple work vans. So each day 5 would park up on the nature strip , two on the curbing. After five years , never even a warning ! The driveway and car port , long enough for all , was always empty. Rumour had it , as they were friends with the local councillors the destroy lawn was replaced every year at the ratepayers expense.Quote:

There's about 5 young blokes live across the road from me, all their girlfriends are always there too. They also collect cars which are all parked in the front yard and driveway so they all park on the street - good lads though, always wave and will sling a beer my way if I'm out the front. We've discussed parking so they all know where they can and shouldn't park for access, etc so no dramas at all, we all get on and are happy. It is crowded yes, but that's life these days. Best to make friends out of it rather than enemies. [emoji106][emoji4]
