There are a limited number of parking spaces within the Ecovillage

. The Community Association has developed guidelines to assist owners to manage the use of these spaces in

an equitable manner.

The latest version of the guidelines which includes all the Stage 2 parking spaces can be viewed here: 

PDF version of the Parking Guidelines

May 2024

It is important for all members to be aware of these guidelines so we don't inadvertently park, or direct a visitor to park, in someone else's allocated or hired car space.  Below is a summary of the guidelines, with links to documents you will need to hire a parking space.  

Community Parking Area (aka the Bin Enclosure) 

Commonly used for overflow parking for community events. Please do not park anything here without prior approval from the Community Association.  Email ca@nararaecovillage.com with with enquiries.  

Visitor Parking Areas (

marked parking spaces adjacent to the roads around the village)

Refers to all Please note that whilst most marked car spaces adjacent to the road in various locations around the village. are available for casual parking by residents and visitors some 'Visitor' spaces may be allocated to lot owners or cluster owners, hired by members for exclusive use use for a period of time or unallocated and therefore available for casual or visitor use.  These are to be used by by Permitted Vehicles only, which refers to small to medium, uninhabited vehicles such as cars, motorbikes, caravans, campervans, trailers and trucks, whether motorised or not.

Large vehicles over 6m long, containers or other equipment, machinery or items are not Permitted Vehicles.

Allocated Parking Space 

Refers to one of the spaces in the 'Visitor' Parking Areas which has been permanently allocated to a lot due to the restricted vehicular access of that lot . A Parking Agreement must be completed in order for the Community Association to assign exclusive rights to that space to the lot owners.  Please see the Parking Agreement document or to allow access to their lot.  Please refer to the Parking Guidelines for a list of Allocated Parking Spaces.  

Hired Parking Space

Unallocated Parking Spaces can be hired by a person or entity for exclusive use during a limited term.  This is required if you wish to park your vehicle in a parking space for more than 240 hours (10 days) per month.  

Current hire rates are $70 per month with a 12-month contract, or $80 per month on a casual month-by-month basis. 

To apply to hire a space complete the NEV Parking Hire Agreement and return to the Admin Officer jazz@nararaecovillage.com.  

Signage

Allocated Parking Spaces and Hired Parking Spaces may be marked with a simple sign stating, “Reserved Parking for Lot XX”.

Remaining Unallocated Parking Spaces

Any defined parking space within a Visitor Parking Area which has not been designated an Allocated Parking Space or a Hired Parking Space is for visitor use only.

No Permitted Vehicles should be parked in Unallocated Parking Spaces on a regular or long-term basis as this will reduce the total parking spaces available to visitors and result in visitors resorting to parking illegally on common property or on the roads.

Members or lot occupiers who use a Visitor Parking Space for more than

10 days

per month

will be

asked to apply for a Hired Parking Space. The CA Executive expects owners to be considerate to the needs of the community and to comply with a request to hire a parking space or arrange to park the vehicle within their lot. 

During events and Open Days, the CA reserves the right to designate Allocated and Unallocated car spaces for the use of visitors at the event.
