Everybody to their own I guess. Nice that some residents have put these to good use though, despite man's usual quest for his own space. That hardly seems possible in a country as big as Australia, but it obviously happens in the cities.

Re: Allocated car space.

I'm confused about this, Pauline.

Is this space a part of your own property, or part of a shared area for a number of homes where people can come and go as they please? In other words, is the space actually owned by yourself?

If it's a public space, or on a public road then it's not yours to claim ownership tbh.
If it is your land, clamp them (or see if you can get a sign made up with words to that effect).

They can be imported at a cost of around $1 each plus p&p. Cheaper to make them or even have them made though.

They worked for us immediately after we moved in where we now live and straightway found we had problems.

His posts are certainly rather cryptic if nothing else.

It's all to do with history, I live in an old established area so every property has a lane running behind them where the dunny truck would come each week to change the dunny cans in the days before pump outs or sewers. They appear on council (and Google) maps as "Unnamed Lane". The lane is right against my fence line whereas the side and front fence is about 10m from the curb (which is a lot of bloody mowing I can tell you)

Actually the dunny is still shown on the council plan of my property though it was gone before I bought the place.

My garage is at the bottom of my garden and I live on a corner block so I have three fences with road/lane borders.

NSW road rules state that you can not park within 10m of a road junction. (they even provide a picture)
