Private Parking Areas Act 1986

A motor vehicle must not be parked in a no standing area.

A motor vehicle must not be parked in a disabled persons parking area unless a disabled persons parking permit is exhibited in the vehicle.

A motor vehicle must not be parked in a permit parking area unless a permit issued by the owner authorising the parking of the vehicle in the permit parking area is exhibited in the vehicle.

A motor vehicle must not be parked in a loading area unless the vehicle is a commercial vehicle that is being used for the delivery of goods to premises of the owner.

A motor vehicle must not be parked in a restricted parking area unless the vehicle is of the class for which the restricted area is established.

Subject to subsection (7), where a time limit is in force under this Act in relation to the parking of vehicles in a private parking area, a motor vehicle must not be parked in the private parking area for a period in excess of the time limit (unless a permit issued by the owner authorising the parking of the vehicle beyond the time limit is exhibited in the vehicle).

Where a motor vehicle in which a disabled persons parking permit is exhibited is parked in a private parking area in excess of a time limit, a contravention of subsection (6) does not arise until the vehicle has been parked for 90 minutes in excess of the limit.

For the purposes of this section a permit is exhibited in a vehicle if, and only if, the permit is exhibited—

in the case of a disabled person's parking permit—in accordance with any requirements of the Motor Vehicles Act 1959;

or

in any other case—so that it is easily legible by a person standing beside the vehicle and otherwise in accordance with any conditions of the permit.

If a motor vehicle is parked in contravention of this section the owner is guilty of an offence and if the owner is not the driver, the owner and the driver are each guilty of an offence. Maximum penalty: Maximum penalty: $1 250.
