Enforcement of dropped kerbs
Officers will not enforce dropped kerbs outside residential or business premises unless specifically requested to do so by the owner or occupier of the premises.
The vehicle does not have to be fully obstructing the dropped kerb to commit a parking contravention. If any part of the vehicle is physically over the point where the lowered part of the dropped kerb meets the level of the carriageway (road), a contravention has occurred.
The area which can be enforced is shown between the blue arrows in the picture below.
