Trucks and heavy or long vehicle parking
To ensure that our residential streets remain accessible, restrictions apply to long-term truck and heavy or long parking in residential streets.
Heavy or long vehicles and trucks are restricted from parking for longer than one hour within 100 metres of any residential land.
A long vehicle is defined as any one of the following:
- a vehicle or trailer that is longer than 7.5 metres
- a vehicle or trailer where any load or projection is longer than 7.5 metres
- any combination which is 7.5 metres long or longer
- any component of a combination (a prime mover or prime mover trailer), which if standing alone is five metres or longer
A heavy vehicle is defined as any one of the following:
- any component of a combination with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of three tonnes or more
- any other vehicle with a GVM of 4.5 tonnes or more
Exemptions
Trucks that have broken down are exempt from this restriction but only for the minimum time necessary to make minor repairs that would allow the vehicle to be moved to a place where it is lawfully parked.
Other exemptions include vehicles:
- carrying out emergency work
- delivering goods or providing services to the area
Enforcement
Brisbane City Council officers will enforce this local law. Failure to comply will result in a $500 fine.
