Parking on nature strips
Under the Road Safety Act 1986 (Vic) it is illegal to park on a grassed or landscaped nature strip without a specific exemption. Each Council has a responsibility to enforce this law.
The State Government introduced these rules to:
- protect nature strips and the infrastructure located underneath them
- keep pedestrians and vehicles safe, especially when exiting driveways.
If you believe there is a lack of access to on-street parking at your property please call Council’s Infrastructure Team on 1300 322 322 to discuss potential solutions.
