Parking officers will soon begin regular patrols
around Wyndham Vale and Tarneit train stations.
Whilst V/Line is responsible for determining parking restrictions and the installation of
signs at the stations, Wyndham council parking officers will be enforcing the restrictions, with temporary signs to be erected to notify commuters of the upcoming
enforcement.
The patrols have been initiated by V/Line after the state government
formally gazetted the two stations, with enforcement of parking restrictions set commence
early next month and expected to be fully operational before the end of June.
Wyndham council’s director of city operations, Amanda Smith, emphasised the
importance of these measures, stating that collaboration with V/Line had been
essential in addressing the parking challenges at these stations.
“Our priority is to ensure parking around the Wyndham Vale and Tarneit train stations
is orderly and accessible and by enforcing these regulations, we aim to enhance the
commuting experience for everyone,” she said.
“Our aim is not just to enforce the rules but to educate the public and promote long-
term compliance.”
Parking will also be enforced on public roads around the train stations, including
parking too close to intersections and solid white lines, as well as vehicles being
parked facing the wrong direction.
Drivers are also reminded that double parking, stopping in a no-standing zone and
parking on nature strips is illegal and dangerous.
Community members can report illegal parking by calling 1300 023 411, visiting
Wyndham.vic.gov.au, or emailing mail@wyndham.vic.gov.au
