We’re proposing a change to the Community Amenity Local Law to address community concerns on the long-term parking and storage of caravans, boats and trailers on Council land and roads.
If the amendment is adopted, people in the City of Port Phillip will not be able to store or park a caravan, boat or trailer on a Council road or Council land for more than 14 days (within a 60-day period).
There are currently no specific rules regulating how long caravans, boats, and trailers can be kept in these public areas.
We invite community members to read the draft amendment and share your views before 11.59pm on Sunday 17 May 2026. Your feedback will help inform whether we go ahead with the proposed changes.
