S1E46 RR360 Parking for trailers, caravans, tiny homes, across footpaths and on the kerb

In this Road Rules 360 episode of the Streets and People podcast, host Wendy Nash and retired road rules expert John Burrill navigate the complexities of parking trailers, tiny homes, and mobility devices on public roads. They break down the intricacies of registering and parking box trailers in suburban Queensland, discuss the implications of using these trailers as mobile gardens or bike lockers, and explore the legalities of parking mobility scooters, bicycles, and potentially tiny homes. They also highlight the broader social implications of utilising street spaces for non-vehicular purposes, emphasising the importance of considering neighbourhood aesthetics and road legalities. The episode aims to clarify misconceptions and provide practical advice to ensure compliance and harmony within community spaces.

The Streets and People Podcast

Every day in Caboolture and Morayfield, people get left behind because they can’t drive. Some are too young. Some are older. Others live with disability or manage on a low income. You probably know 1 or 2 people in that situation.

We keep asking the same question: Why do cars get the red carpet while everyone else gets the gravel?

Get Around Caboolture is a local movement focused on practical transport solutions that work for more people. Through real stories and expert insights, our podcast highlights what’s missing – and what’s possible.

Our podcast series:

People & Projects (PnP): Interviews with researchers, advocates, and professionals working on transport solutions across Australia.

Not Everyone Drives (NED): Conversations with locals who don’t drive, sharing how transport access, or the lack of it, shapes their everyday lives.

Road Rules 360 (RR360)
Co-hosted with John Burrill, this series looks at road rules from all angles, with a focus on people walking, riding, scooting, or using mobility aids.

Get Around Caboolture is a community movement advocating for more travel options for people in
Caboolture & Morayfield. 

Our Goals

1. All children can ride to school on safe streets 

2. All young adults can get to work or study without needing a car so they begin adulthood without a debt of $15,000 a year. 

A lack of transport options leads to a high financial burden for
families, businesses and governments.

The only way we can be sustainable for the long term is with your help.
