Parking
As Rockingham is a growing City, parking restrictions are required to control traffic flow and allow easy and accessible parking. The City of Rockingham actively promotes safe and legal parking through enforcement and education programs.
Appropriate signs throughout the City clearly indicate parking restrictions, including time limitations, which must be obeyed. Please remember to park with the flow of traffic i.e. not facing the opposite way. Breaches of parking restrictions are monitored and enforced by Ranger Services and parking officers and can attract on-the-spot fines.
Rockingham City Shopping Centre is a Parking Station under Council's Parking Local Law. Sign posted restrictions apply in this area. Security staff at the Centre have the authority to issue fines for unauthorised parking in a disabled bay.

Selling vehicles on verges
Owners of vehicles cannot display their vehicles for sale on road or street verges as this practice makes areas unsightly and can obstruct the vision of pedestrians and other road users. The distraction of other drivers poses a significant road safety concern so therefore rangers may issue an on-the-spot fine of $65 (As of 13/08/07) for illegal verge sales. Police may also issue fines under the Road Traffic Act.

Off road vehicles
The irresponsible use of trail bikes is an issue of public safety and can be a nuisance to residents and landowners. Trail bikes can also have a significant damaging effect on the local environment so therefore trail bikes and off road vehicles should only be used in a safe and responsible law-abiding manner.
Trail bikes and other Off Road Vehicles are also not permitted to be used on vacant land within the City of Rockingham. However they may be used on private property with the consent of the owner.

Farm animals
The City of Rockingham Health Local Laws 1996 have a number of provisions relating to the keeping of specific animals, the number that can be kept and the manner in which they should be kept, in order to maintain good standards of public health. This means you unfortunately cannot keep all animals in residential areas.
