In all community title schemes visitor car parking is a finite resource requiring careful management to ensure a harmonious environment. The problem with the management of this finite resource is an unrealistic expectation from some owners and occupiers that their visitors should have access to free and unrestricted car parking at all times. Unfortunately this expectation cannot be met. Local authorities are approving the construction of new community titles schemes with less and less visitor parking. This is particularly the case in central business districts. However, regardless of how much visitor parking developers provide, the expectations of the owners and occupants must be managed through an effective communication process.
Visitor car parking may be limited to just a few hours. In desperation, some bodies corporate are using all available means, including towing and wheel clamping, in order to ensure the spaces are regulated in accordance with the by-laws. Some bodies corporate are also using "sign in" procedures to monitor visitors (usually in CBD areas).
