What is a long stay parking space?

4. What is a long stay parking space?



(1) For the purposes of this Act, a long stay parking space is-

   (a)  a parking space in a private car park; or

   (b)  a parking space in a public car park that is-

   (i)  set aside or used for ongoing parking by the owner of the space or by
        another person under a lease, licence or other arrangement with the
        owner; or

   (ii) used for the parking of a motor vehicle for a period of at least 4
        hours on a working day, commencing at or before 9.30 a.m. and ending
        at or after 9.30 a.m.

(2) If more than one parking space referred to in subsection (1)(b)(ii) is
used for the parking of one or more motor vehicles, but no one motor vehicle
necessarily remains in the same parking space for the duration of the
vehicle's stay in the car park on any particular day, each of those parking
spaces is taken to be a long stay parking space.

(3) If the period for which a parking space is used by a motor vehicle cannot
be ascertained, the parking space is taken to be a long stay parking space
under subsection (1)(b)(ii) if a motor vehicle is parked in that space at 9.30
a.m. on any working day.
