[200WILLIAM-EC SP67851] Visitor Parking

[cscl at optusnet.com.au]

Hi Matt and others in the EC,

 

It becomes a nuisance with the card method you have suggested Matt, if the visitor, once parked,  has to come up to the apartment to get one of these cards, go back down to put it on the front of the car and then when they leave go back up to the apartment he/she was visiting and return the card.

 

I think it would be a better idea, with the Merc that’s down there for example, to find out which tenant/owner he/she is visiting in the building. This then puts the onus on the tenant/owner. If it is a tenant, our building manager should then call the real estate agency with whom the tenant has the lease and let them know the situation has continued, despite many notices. If it’s an owner, the building manager should communicate with that owner in some way.

 

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Matt,

I agree something needs to be done as we have few visitor parking spaces. I think our building manager needs to get tough with the owner of the grey Mercedes, the owner of this car simply fobs him off and ignores him. I asked the building manager to talk to strata management to find out how we can enforce parking rules but I am not sure he will take action. 

Regards john

Hi All,  
I was recently in a strata building that had a system I have not seen before for visitor parking. I thought it might be worth considering here. We seem to have a never-ending conga line of entitled residents who think they can get free parking.  

 

The system involved giving each lot owner a laminated A5 size card that said something along the lines of "Visitor Parking Pass - Marquis Apartments" followed by the lot owner's unit number. Then when someone wanted to use visitor parking, the lot owner would need to supply them with this reusable laminated card, which they could display on the dash of the parked visitor's car. This would make it easy to identify the visitor's lot and ensure that the visitor had an idea of the rules. On the back of the card were the detailed rules like how long you could stay and that sort of thing.  

 

There were then signs posted in the visitor parking area that stated, "Visitor Parking Passes must be clearly displayed or your vehicle will be towed and fees apply." - A bit of an empty threat on the towing part, but a fee could be charged via an appropriate bylaw.  

 

I'm not sure what others think, but it did seem to work well for this scheme that I was staying in, and it would easily point out who the offenders are either by not having a pass or overstaying with a pass.  

 

Warm regards,  
Matt.
