    By-laws can’t operate if they contradict or contravene a superior law (and all laws are superior).

    Section 651b of the NSW Local Government Act says this:

    Immobilisation of vehicles

    (1) A person must not immobilise a vehicle owned by any other person by means of wheel clamps, or by means of any other device prescribed by the regulations, except with the consent of that other person. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

    FYI, 20 penalty units is $2200 .
    I understand the need to obtain permission, but the passing of the bylaw is permission. It would then be the owners responsibility to ensure that the same permission is obtained from their guests, I don’t see why the OC would require individual proof of permission from each guest or tenant etc.

    I’m also really confused how this bylaw prevents any other from using any rental agency of their choice. It’s purely helping to ensure that the parking restrictions can be enforced easily. Why wouldn’t any strata not want this kind of bylaw? And how does it prevent property rental, short term or long etc…
