Boat trailers parked on streets in Sutherland Shire for more than 28 days to be impounded

This has been mentioned before but it now seems to be official. 

New regulations allowing boat trailers, and the boats they carry, to be impounded if they have been parked on a street in Sutherland Shire for more than 28 days will be enforced from July 1.

The starting date was announced after council decided earlier this year to “opt in” to new laws passed by the state government in late 2015.

Sutherland Shire Council spent a year deliberating after councils were given the option of opting in or out of the scheme.

The regulations will apply across the shire, and not just to select areas near waterways, which was another option under the legislation.

A spokeswoman said the council would conduct an education campaign before enforcement started on July 1.

Under the new system, boat trailers, with or without boats on them, will need to be moved every 28 days, at least as far as a different block section of the same street.

Council officers must provide notice of at least 15 days before impounding a trailer.

Not sure about the impounding part, but I'm pretty sure every council now in the Greater Sydney region enforces the 28 day parking rule for residential areas. However for the most part, it's only a fine.

Just move that boat every month for a bit.

They don't have a leg to stand on Steve

Doesn't affect me mate, I moved out of the city, just remembering when I lived in Cronulla and used to park mine outside the house. 

So the council have achieved shuffling the trailers,, great job.
