Parking clickers a tricky issue

QUESTION:  “I live in a big building of 300-plus apartments, and the owner of each car space is issued with a clicker for the car park to let them in and out.

“This limits ‘rogue parkers’ quite successfully, but it also means you can’t have a spare clicker i.e. leave one in your work car or, in my case, give one to my mum or dad who use that same car space from time to time.

“Is my body corporate allowed to limit the number of clickers?” – MrParker, via the Flat Chat Forum

ANSWER:  The short answer is yes they can and as long as you can access your parking spot when you need to there’s not a lot you can do about it.

However, parking responses on the Flat Chat Forum have ranged from outrage at undermining the security of the building to suggestions as to where he might buy spare clickers.

Anything that can limit rogue parking is a good thing but there should be some flexibility.

A regular key audit to cancel electronic fobs and clickers that might have wandered off with former owners and tenants would allow bona fide residents a little bit of leeway. There’s more on this HERE on the Forum.
