Stirling council proposes verge parking crackdown on caravans, boats and trailers
© © Copyright Tapt Media 2026

The City of Stirling is seeking community feedback on proposed verge laws that would restrict trailers, boats, caravans and motorhomes from being parked on residential verges. Mayor Mark Irwin told 6PR Mornings that safety is a primary concern, citing infill development pushing storage out of backyards and garages, leading to more vehicles on the street.

Two major Queensland councils are spearheading a push to ban recreational vehicles from suburban streets, citing over 700 annual complaints on the Sunshine Coast alone. They are seeking state legislative changes to classify such vehicles separately, which would allow for vehicle-specific parking limits. The current law permits trailers under 7.5 metres and 4.5 tonnes to occupy streets indefinitely.

Donegal County Council (Ireland) acknowledged an incident over the Bank Holiday weekend where a campervan blocked a footpath at the pier car park in Donegal Town. The council is reviewing draft bye-laws that include additional measures to manage oversized vehicle parking in Pay and Display car parks across the county. It remains unclear whether the incident occurred during Pay and Display enforcement hours (9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, excluding public holidays), when traffic wardens can issue fixed charge notices for footpath obstruction.

Sunshine Coast Council data shows about 700 annual complaints regarding caravans and trailers parked on suburban streets. The council states most vehicles are parked lawfully, but a local petition with 1150 signatures calls for stricter rules. A motion will be presented at an October conference, urging the state government to investigate management options for on-road storage of recreational vehicles.

Mildura Police have called on locals and visitors to protect their caravans and contents this summer. They advise removing valuables or keeping them out of sight, marking property with a unique personal code, installing sensor lights inside and outside, and using GPS trackers, wheel clamps, coupling padlocks and alarms. Police say a few simple steps can prevent a costly loss.

Detectives have released CCTV footage and are seeking public assistance after a caravan was stolen in Emerald earlier this month. Around 11:30pm on Wednesday 2 September, a blue utility attended a vacant block on Ballard Street, where the caravan had been parked for three months and secured with a padlock. The suspects hooked up the 22-foot brown 2020 Leader Gold caravan and drove away; the caravan is unregistered and remains outstanding. Police urge anyone who recognises the blue utility or has information to contact them.

Australian company Tiny Tect from Queensland has presented an updated version of its Nido motorhome. The length has been increased from 7 to 9 metres, accommodating up to four people. It features a full kitchen with a four-burner stove, electric oven, refrigerator and dishwasher, an enlarged bathroom, and built-in wardrobes on both sides of the bed in the bedroom. A modular unit between the kitchen and living area is available in two configurations: bunk beds for children or a bed with a workspace underneath. The base version starts at 79,900 Australian dollars, while the larger upgraded model is priced at 90,000 Australian dollars.
