Hi
I am in a similar situation.
As I have discovered, even though cars may be able to pass, there is the issue of blocking access for residents (and people walking down that access path) to get to common property, such as letterboxes, clothes lines, bins, etc…if they have to walk around your car then it is an issue – especially if that course takes them onto a road.
If someone has to walk onto the road or verge, particularly into traffic, due to a vehicle being parked on common property that obstructs their access to that common property or Council space, then from what I have been told, your car is an obstruction. My understanding is that this is especially evident if you block a footpath or part of.
There's also the disabled to consider – in that Council land must be unobstructed (along with common property) for those residents using wheelchairs, canes, walkers or other tools to assist in mobility.
Gee I've started to learn a lot since moving from my Freehold acreage to urban living….doing all I can to be a respectful considrate neighbour – just wish the others in my block (and surrounds) would do same!
