Leasing/Renting of Garages to Non residents – Not Permitted by Council

The City of Sydney Council no longer issues residents with street parking permits valid for one year. Residents now have access to single use  scratch and display permits valid for one day.

Due to these changes, we have seen an increase in requests from people who work in the area  to rent garage spaces from Tara residents. These requests usually come in the form of a letterbox drop.

Sydney Council has imposed a number of restrictions on Tara and one of those is that garage spaces can only be used by residents of the building. They can be leased but the person who leases and parks in the garage must be a resident of Tara.

Garages cannot be leased to people who work in the local area. Neither the Strata Manager, Building Manager or the Executive Committee can override this council imposed restriction on the use of the building.

Owners and residents who lease their garages to non resident will be contacted an asked to remove the vehicle.
