Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This statute governs parking and traffic on Australian National University land: it authorises traffic signs and road markings, creates permit and voucher parking systems, controls traffic‑management equipment, sets bicycle rules, and establishes infringement, removal and penalty procedures. Affected groups include staff, students, residents, visitors, vehicle owners and bicycle riders.
Who pays and who decides: Council or the designated authority sets fees and issues permits/vouchers (s6(1A), s10B; definition s3). Permit/voucher display is required (s7, s10C); infringements attract prescribed penalties, administrative charges and possible vehicle removal (s40, s47, s60).
