From 1 December 2020, 44 roads within the City of Boroondara were impacted by Department of Transport regulations turning clearways into tow-away zones.
If you park your vehicle on a main road, check the nearby signage to make sure it’s safe to do so and avoid having your vehicle towed.
The regulations are part of a VicRoads initiative to change clearways within 20 km of Melbourne’s CBD into tow-away zones to ensure traffic moves freely during peak times.
Check the map of impacted roads on the VicRoads website(open in new window). Make sure you check signage for specific clearway times, as they may have changed since you last parked at the location.
Parking fines
There are financial penalties for parking in clearways.
These include:
- $192 fine for parking in a clearway
- $361 vehicle release fee if the vehicle is towed (paid to the Department of Transport).
Both the City of Boroondara and the Department of Transport may issue parking fines for vehicles parked in clearways. Check your notice to find out how to pay your fine, or contact us for support.
Vehicles parked in clearway zones may be towed. The Department of Transport manages all towing of vehicles.
