Local Laws

Council investigates reports of vehicles that may be abandoned on public land such as roads or nature strips. Officers check registration, attempt to contact owners, and may impound vehicles if necessary.

Learn more about how we manage abandoned vehicles and the investigation process visit Council's Abandoned Vehicles page.

Property owners must keep their land tidy to avoid safety and health risks. Council may issue notices to clean up overgrown lots.
