Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority<\/a> (GORCAPA).<\/p>\nAccording to the caravan park’s rules, originally adopted by GORCC in May 2015, permit holders can bring two vehicles onto their site – one car, and one caravan, trailer, boat or watercraft.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll vehicles must be parked within the boundaries of the site to which they are registered,\u201d the policy states. \u201cVehicles which cannot fit within the permit site boundary are required to be removed from the park.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn additional vehicle, including a car, may be permitted to enter the park, subject to prior approval by the manager.<\/p>\n
An additional vehicle charge applies if access is approved. Each vehicle must be registered with the park office prior to entering the park.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of the one car per site rule, there are anecdotal reports each summer of caravan park users parking their second car for long periods of time on surrounding streets, including Bell Street.<\/p>\n
This forces Torquay residents and the thousands of visitors heading to the beach each day to park even further away.<\/p>\n
Last week, a GORCAPA spokesperson said the parking policy remained the same, \u201cand is in place to ensure safe access and egress for all of our guests, especially in the situation of an urgent evacuation\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not responsible for street parking and do not endorse our guests parking illegally in these areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe support the Surf Coast Shire in enforcing parking rules throughout their jurisdiction, including Bell Street.\u201d<\/p>\n
Surf Coast Shire general manager of planning and environment Ransce Salan said on Tuesday this week that overflow parking from the caravan park \u201chas not presented major problems in the past\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would not anticipate any this summer, but council will continue to monitor conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cKey car parks in Torquay\u2019s commercial areas have time limits, and council rangers will be working in increased numbers across the peak holiday period to ensure people are complying with regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Salan said the shire anticipated the introduction of its free summer shuttle bus service \u2013 the Surf Coaster \u2013 between Jan Juc and Torquay would help ease some parking pressure in central Torquay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe service operates daily from 10am to 6pm on a continuous loop with 13 stops, connecting to beaches and dining and shopping precincts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe carbon-neutral Surf Coaster is one of many initiatives making up council\u2019s COVID-19 Recovery Program, and responds to local demand for a convenient, safe and effective transport loop during the busy summer period.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
