Default Cautioned by the Council Rangers

Well i had a visit from two grubby looking Council Rangers this afternoon.
Not exactly clean and presentable as you'd think.

They issued me a formal caution for parking in front of my house.

The commonly known "nature strip". And yes, I know your not supposed to.
Apparently if they come past again they'll issue me with a fine for parking there.
They said i have either park on the street, or park in the driveway or within my own fence line.

The last i heard of them enforcing this is when Sydney 2000 was in full swing.

As far as im concerned, I mow it, I should be able to park there.
But obviously there is some sort of council law which i cannot find that prohibits this.
And being Rangers(Special Constables), I guess they have the power enforce and to issue a fine.

I wouldn't have thought it to be enforced in my tiny tucked away community in the lower blue mountains.

I guess my only recourse is to no longer mow the nature strip....
They can mow it if they value it so much.

Also...

The last time i heard of someone getting fined for it, the guy sued the council for 20years of lawn mowing on the nature strip, which totaled in the THOUSANDS of $$$$$, His council were quick to settle and withdraw the fine.
