Sooo, it doesn't apply Mon–Fri, nor April to October? :scratch:

Which also means it would apply on Christmas Day but not on Anzac Day, yeah?
They're both public holidays, but Anzac Day is outside the specified month range.

I don't think it means all weekends and public holidays plus all days in the specified months, right?
The sign would need another ampersand in that case.

:help:

Imagine getting this on a learner licence test. 8O

No wonder Melbourne drivers are looking for new places to park

^^ To be fair, that yellow car has a Western Australian number plate. People from interstate might have trouble with your Melbourne road rules. I still don't know how to hook turn properly.

The cynical side of me says this is a deliberate attempt to raise local council revenue.
