I have been in a 3 year battle with my owners corporation regarding breaching of the visitors parking bylaws to the point where I took the issue to NCAT at the end of last year and the ruling was that the Tribunal Member did not believe he had jurisdiction to make the owners corporation issue notices to comply. He also based his decision on the fact that the committee advised him they intended to submit an application to Council to have the development consent changed which would reallocate the visitors parking. I have lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman and the Office of Fair Trading on the basis that there is no point in pursuing mediation and NCAT if NCAT itself will not support enforcement of by-laws.
My point – don’t bother with NCAT. Lodge a complaint with your local Council as resident’s parking in visitors car spaces will most likely contravene the development consent which is Council’s responsibility and they will investigate and issue fines.
None of this is pleasant, but residents who abuse the visitors parking by-laws are common thieves, stealing from the other owners by receiving a benefit which they are not paying.
