Council regulates abandoned and hazardous vehicles parked on public road reserve. If a vehicle is considered to be abandoned or hazardous Council will take steps to remove the vehicle from the road reserve including impounding the vehicle if the owner fails to move it.
Hazardous – A hazardous vehicle is a vehicle (registered or unregistered) that has been left on a road or footpath in a way that presents a significant danger or risk.
Note: A lawfully parked vehicle cannot be considered to be hazardous.
Abandoned – An abandoned vehicle includes an unregistered vehicle parked on a road or footpath.
Council does not regulate abandoned vehicles on private property. It is the responsibility of the property owner to liaise with the Queensland Police Service in relation to these matters.
If the vehicle is currently registered and lawfully parked no action will be taken by Council to move/remove a vehicle in this scenario.
For information on how to report an abandoned or hazardous vehicle to council select Report an Issue. Being able to provide the description of the vehicle including a registration if available will assist council in investigating the concern.
If you believe your vehicle has been impounded by council and you wish to reclaim it, you should contact council on 07 3810 6666 immediately to make the relevant arrangements. There are fees payable to council prior to recovering your vehicle.
