In order to improve service to our members,
The board of directors of the false creek harbour authority has approved a parking policy
for this facility. This policy will ensure that parking will be available for harbour
users.
Parking policy has always been a difficult
issue here at False Creek. Unlike other harbours, False Creek has limited space available
for parking.
Abandoned vehicles, and non-harbour users have taken spaces that could
have been available for our customers.
In order to provide better available space for those on legitimate
harbour business the following policy has been approved by the FCHA Board of Directors.
 | Any vehicles parked in violation of signs or regulations will be towed away at owner's
expense. |
| Parking lot is reserved for False Creek Harbour users only. |
| Vessel owners berthed at the Harbour are allowed to park one vehicle while on the
Harbour premises. |
| Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. The False Creek Harbour Authority does
not guarantee the availability of parking services. |
| All vehicles must display a valid parking permit on the dashboard or mirror inside their
vehicle. Vehicles not displaying a valid parking permit will towed away at the
owner’s expense. |
| Vessels in arrears for harbour services will not be allowed parking privileges. |
| Homeport vessels will be issued a yearly permit if their berthage is paid in advance. |
|
|
| Transient vessels, tradesmen, and visitors will be issued a temporary parking permit for
a specified period. |
| Parking permit fees will be charged according to the Harbour Rate Schedule. |
| The False Creek Harbour Authority accept no responsibility for
loss or damage to the vehicle or contents. |
| Living in cars or any other unconventional types of accommodation in False Creek Harbour
is strictly prohibited. |
| Owners cannot leave their vehicles parked in the owner’s absence for more than 72
hours without the permission of Harbour Management. |
| Recreational vehicles, trailers, buses and other large vehicles may only park with the
permission of Harbour management. |
| All vehicles must have a valid licence and insurance. |
| Vehicles leaking petroleum products or polluting substances will be towed at
owner’s expense. |
| The False Creek Harbour Authority reserves the right to revoke parking privileges for
any individual who is in non-compliance with Harbour policy, regulations or direction from
Harbour management. |
| All vessel owners must register their vehicle(s) at the office. |
| One yearly permit will be issued to the owner of each vessel. |
| Temporary permits can be obtained at the harbour office. |
Your cooperation with these policies is appreciated. |
