    I think it’s risky for the car park owner.  We had rules around the use of car ports. During lockdowns, residents were using their car ports as venues for makeshift illegal gatherings.  The rule was simple – the car port could only be used to store a motor vehicle, bicycle or the like, not be a venue for a party.  The reason I bring this up is to ponder how the OC might be able to effectively police the use of a car space that is let/sublet/licensed to a third party who may not even live on premises?  Would the OC need the contact details of the car park lessee?  Or would the owner of the lot be responsible for how the car park space is used and for any damage caused to common property like driveway and gates etc.? What if the lessee damaged a gate mechanism that cost $1000 to repair – who would be responsible?  As far as the OC is concerned, there is no lessee (unless I am missing something).  Sorry if this is unhelpful.
