At the Council meeting held on 18 March 2025, City of Casey Councillors voted unanimously in favour of a full review of the Casey Community Local Law 2023 and to suspend permit and application fees for Private Land Use Permits until the review is completed.
Please contact us to talk to our Local Law team to discuss if a permit is required.
The Road Safety Road Rules 2017 | Victorian Legislation defines long or heavy vehicles as those weighing over 4.5 tonnes or exceeding 7.5 metres.
Long or heavy vehicles parked on private property require a permit.
Vehicle types that may be deemed long or heavy include:
- Caravans or RVs (recreational vehicles)
- Motorhomes
- Mobile homes
- Trailers
- Horse floats
- Trucks
- Buses
Note: In most cases, unhitched caravans and trailers will never exceed the dimensions or weight required to be deemed long or heavy.
Learn more about using a caravan on private property as a dwelling.
