Heavy vehicle parking on residential properties

Local laws regulate whether heavy vehicles can park on residential properties. The laws exist to help control problems with heavy vehicle noise.

If you want to park a heavy vehicle on a residential property for longer than it takes to load or unload it, you may need a permit.

You may be able to park a heavy vehicle on a residential property without a permit if you are parking:

• on land that the planning scheme defines as rural, commercial or industrial
• on land that has a development permit
• on non-conforming land use rights under a previous planning scheme
• a motor home, caravan or similar vehicle for private use if it is the only type of heavy vehicle on the site
• an emergency and public utility vehicle
• a Council vehicle on Council-owned or occupied land
• a heavy vehicle while loading or unloading goods.
