This is the item I raised at Monday nights Council Meeting... What are you thoughts? I move that a report be prepared regarding the issue of parking on nature strips in Hume City and Metropolitan Councils particularly in relation to: 1. State laws that apply to this matter ? 2. How other Councils enforce these laws, including the City of Casey and whether other approaches are legal ? 3. How many fines were issued in 2012/13 for vehicles parked on nature strips and where these occurred (by postcode) 4. Any history of recorded damage to infrastructure that has resulted from vehicles parking on nature strips 5. Alternative parking options available to our residents, including the use of the indented car parking scheme. In addition to this the financial implications of Council sharing a larger burden of costs in specific situations related to the scheme. 6. Options available for Council to advocate for future residential developments to include indented parking including raising this matter with the MAV. These are the conditions in which Casey Council do not enforce fining residents -Be parked out the front of the property owners house - Must not result in any adverse effects on drivers visibility of other roads or pose any obstruction to traffic - Not be parked within 10 meters of an intersection - That residents take full control of the nature strip and are liable for any damage caused by vehicles parking on them - Must no obstruct or damage any of the statutory supply authorises - The vehicles must be registered, not be for sale or remain there for greater than seven days -Pedestrian access and footways must not be obstructed -And vehicles must not be a truck
