Casual parking
An unused casual parking space is one set aside for use by the public for the parking of motor vehicles but remains unused for that purpose.
An exemption may be claimed for an unused casual parking space or an unleased tenant's parking space.
Records must be maintained on a daily basis detailing both the number of spaces available and the number used for casual parking.
An unleased tenant’s parking space is one that is:
unavailable for use as a parking space, except under a lease or licence under which a tenant of the premises in which it is located has exclusive use of it and
no such lease or licence is in force.
