No parking on nature strips

Victorian Road Rules say you cannot park a vehicle on a nature strip, a footpath or a centre strip that divides a street.

It is illegal to park on a nature strip, footpath or centre strip to:

• clean your vehicle
• repair your vehicle
• prevent damage to your vehicle, or
• because you can't find a parking space.

Why you can't park on a nature strip 

• Drivers entering or exiting a driveway cannot see approaching pedestrians, especially children.
• It may damage the water and gas supply lines, storm water drainage pipes, and sewerage pipes under the nature strip. The damage to a nature strip by a parked vehicle is worse during wet weather. 

Fines for parking on a nature strip, footpath or centre strip

Council or the Victorian Police can fine you for parking in on a nature strip, footpath of centre strip.
