Apply for a permit to store a boat, trailer or caravan

In order to reduce inconvenience to Bayside residents, we've introduced a new permit process to ensure boats, trailers and caravans are not stored on Council land for long periods.

Applicants will need to demonstrate exceptional circumstance for any storage of boats, trailers or caravans and cannot store them in excess of three months.

This will limit the impact on amenity, safety and parking caused by heavy or long vehicles. This regulation regarding storing vehicles is outlined in the Bayside City Council Neighbourhood Amenity Local Law, Section 35.

Do I need a permit?

If the vehicle (boat, trailer or caravan) occupies the road for a continuous period of 28 days or more or a period of more than 56 days in a period of three consecutive months a permit is required.

Am I eligible?

In determining whether to grant a permit, Council will consider:

  • What exceptional circumstances apply
  • Impacts on amenity, safety and parking in the area
  • The proximity to adjoining properties
  • The effect on adjoining owners/occupiers
  • The duration of time requested
  • Any other reasonable matters that the authorised officer believes to be relevant

It should be noted that permits will no be issued for:

  • Unregistered vehicles
  • Permanent storage of boats, trailers or caravans
  • If you live in a unit complex or activity centre (e.g. top shop dwelling)
  • If the vehicle is 7.5 metres or longer in length
  • Permits will not be issued for streets with existing parking restriction.
