According to the Woollahra council website:
Parking restrictions in accordance with the New South Wales Road Rules are enforced by Council's Rangers and comprise two types of regulations, statutory and sign posted. Statutory restrictions must be adhered to by all motorists in accordance with the New South Wales Road Rules, whether sign posted or not. All sign posted restrictions must also be complied with.
For some time (at least 5 months) the trailer-shed in Etham Avenue Darling Point has been gathering refuse and rubbish inside it’s loose easy-to-open doorway. It has now reached the state of being a health hazard, as well as being visually quite objectionable. This will be contrasted to the council’s obvious failure to enforce such clearly prescribed parking regulations or for that matter any parking regulations at all.
The trailer is parked in such a way that an illegal parking space is left between it and the kerb. So there is an illegally parked car there most evenings, blocking visibility at a very dangerous intersection. It stays there morning and night and has been there for fully five months. We have complained repeatedly to the council
What are the rangers doing in their working week if they can develop such glaring blindspots?
Many more park for periods exceeding one month, boat trailers, box trailers, horse floats, any large trailer taking 2 or more car spaces are parked in our streets.
Residents consider it is unfair and inequitable for these vehicles to take up scarce street parking.
Complaints to council have not been heard.
Parking restrictions similar to the northern end of New Beach Road may be required.
