In local news, owners of new developments in inner south suburbs will not be able to obtain a residential parking permit under new laws.
West End, Highgate Hill, and Taringa are now included in the laws, which affect owners of apartments in properties which lodged development applications on or after the 18th of March this year.
As a result, the laws will take some time to take effect, as Greens councillor Jonathan Sri says he has been pushing to have the ban introduced for three years.
