My Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary defines a vehicle as “any conveyance for people, goods, etc., esp. on land.” A bicycle would thus appear to be included in the provisions of By-law 2. I accept that properly maintained and regularly used bicycles are not rubbish for the purposes of By-law 9, although this does cover “other material” as well. However, Boronia’s landings must be extraordinarily spacious if a parked bicycle does not cause any obstruction. Even slight obstruction would be totally unacceptable if the landings are part of an emergency exit route.
I agree arbitrary confiscation, especially if the owners are known, is not acceptable, but there do appear to be means for removal of abandoned goods after a suitable interval.
