00:02Switching gears on parking rules.
00:05If you bought a house out at Gugong and you didn't plan to fit your big boat or caravan
00:10on the property that you bought, then that's all on you.
00:12The Queenby and Pallarang Council is looking to clear the streets with a crackdown on caravans,
00:18boats and trailers being left for long periods in prime parking spots.
00:23We don't want these caravans parked for months and months at a time,
00:27taking up valuable car parking spaces.
00:28Under the new rules, vehicles that are longer than 7.5 metres
00:32can no longer park in residential streets for more than an hour.
00:37Those smaller than 7.5 metres will be allowed to park for up to 28 days
00:42before being required to move.
00:44The rules will also ban any vehicles from parking on the verge.
00:49Some locals welcoming the news.
00:51We call it caravan bark, not Caragra Avenue, because it's just the bark all year.
00:57Sometimes even not residents in the streets, they leave their caravan here.
01:02Caravans are a bit wider.
01:03They take whole lane and it's hard to see over the bend what's coming from the front.
01:07But others aren't so happy.
01:08Don't pick a certain market because they think there's an easy target and that they are wealthy.
01:14We have a lot of pensioners in our organisation that are struggling with the cost of living and this extra
01:20burden will affect.
01:22The nation's largest caravan and motorhomes club is warning the changes are heavy handed and unnecessary.
01:30I know Queanbeyan reasonably well. Drive round the corner. Don't be afraid to exercise.
01:34The change resulting in some not so happy campers.
01:39If you please,.
01:40of mains of all of you,
01:40of all of you·
