A Piara Waters’ man has been told he is facing fines for parking in his own driveway.

The dispute comes down to a 60cm overhang that’s pitted neighbours against each other.

Brad Hill always makes sure his ute is backed up as far as it can go in his driveway but the front sticks out over the footpath.

“Car comes to about there so you know it’s 600mil,” Mr Hill said.

Barely enough to trouble most pedestrians but one neighbour dobbed him in to the council.

“Bit of a busybody yes, someone with a bit of time on their hands,” Mr Hill said.

A City of Armadale ranger visited him yesterday.

“She gave me a verbal warning and she said if it keeps happening ... fines can be given,” he said.

Mr Hill’s driveway measures 4.8m from the garage door to the letterbox, just enough space to fit his wife’s car. Even without the tow bar his Ford Ranger measures 5.3m so it’s never going to fit.

Paths must be kept clear under local parking laws but Mr Hill says he has no other option.

He keeps his lawn mowing equipment in his garage.

No stopping lines run for 150m either side of his house.

His verge is off limits and parking on the verge across the road is banned.

“We can’t even park one car on the verge and do a diagonal because obviously we’ve been told we can’t park on the verge,” Mr Hill said.

His suggestion to build a parking bay into the nature strip was also rejected by the City of Armadale, so he’ll continue breaking the law.
