NSW: Q&A How to Regulate Taxis on Common Property

Question: We get up to 4 taxis a day in the complex. The taxis blow their horn, park on common property and block the driveway. How can we control this?

I own a townhouse in a complex. What can we do about taxis on common property areas like driveways?

We get up to 4 taxis a day in the complex and they blow their horn when the person to be collected isn’t ready, and the car blocks the driveway. What can be done?

We have by-laws for vehicles. 1 car is allowed per carport, but can taxis be regulated under this bylaw?

Answer: Regulating taxis is much more difficult than vehicles of owners and occupiers who are bound by the by-law applicable to the scheme.

Regulating taxis is much more difficult than vehicles of owners and occupiers who are bound by the by-law applicable to the scheme.

In terms of the by-laws you have with the one car per carport, presumably, a taxi could stand or park in the car space and not be in breach of the by-law.

We have seen other schemes erect signage to the effect that “TAXIS – Please do not sound horn at any time”.

A solution might also be to pass a management by-law restricting taxis on the common property.
