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.

Major councils unite in bid to ban suburban caravan parking

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.

Irish councils tighten campervan parking rules

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.

Queensland Police investigate caravan theft in Emerald

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.
