Heavy vehicle parking

Parking on roads

Heavy vehicles cannot park for longer than one hour on roads in built-up areas or in public places. A heavy vehicle is any vehicle with a gross vehicle mass of more than 4.5 tonnes. We regulate the parking of heavy vehicles under our Local Law No. 7 (Parking) 2003.

Heavy vehicles can park for longer than one hour if:

  • they are delivering or picking up goods, or
  • there is traffic signage allowing them to park.

Some heavy vehicles are exempt from the parking limit, including:

  • emergency vehicles, ambulance, police, fire
  • vehicles parked to check or repair water, power, gas, sewerage or phone lines
  • a Council vehicle
  • a broken-down vehicle
  • a vehicle involved in road work
  • tow trucks loading or connecting to a vehicle
  • waste-collection trucks.

There are some areas in Logan where heavy vehicles can park for more than one hour. For more information, please download Heavy Vehicle Parking on Roads(PDF, 1MB).
