A young father is set to be fined for parking his ute in his own driveway after his neighbour complained that the vehicle blocks the footpath.
Perth man Brad Hill was told that he will be fined if he continues to park his Ford Ranger in the driveway at his home in Piara Waters.
His neighbour told the council that the car protrudes over the footpath and a city ranger visited Mr Hill on Sunday to warn him.

‘She gave me a verbal warning and she said if it keeps happening… fines can be given,’ he told Seven News.
‘[The neighbour is a] bit of a busybody yes, someone with a bit of time on their hands.’
Mr Hill said he parked his ute as far has he could in his driveway but it sticks out over the footpath by about 600mm.
He said he is unable to park his vehicle inside his garage as that is where he stores his lawn-mowing equipment.
‘We cant even park one car on the verge and do a diagonal because obviously we’ve been told we can’t park on the verge,’ Mr Hill said.

His driveway measures 4.8m from the garage to the footpath, and his truck is 5.3m long.
Mr Hill said he has no choice but to continue breaking the law as no stopping lines are in place for 150m either side of his property.
He suggested to the council to build a parking area into a nature strip in the middle of the road but this proposal was rejected.
