Queanbeyan council reviews parking policy for motorhomes and caravans

Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) in southern NSW has released a draft parking enforcement policy for public consultation. The revised policy introduces a one-hour limit for vehicles longer than 7.5 metres or with a gross vehicle mass over 4.5 tonnes in built-up areas.
