What's here

The council here (Brisbane City Council)

In Brisbane it is illegal to camp overnight in a vehicle on a road or road-related area, including footpaths, dividing strips, public cycle paths, road shoulders and reserves, under the Health, Safety and Amenity Local Law 2021.

Brisbane City Council lists circumstances where overnight stays in a vehicle are allowed: in designated signed areas, to manage fatigue, for personal safety, in emergencies, and in tourism facilities such as caravan parks and camping grounds.

The council's own exceptions (designated signed areas, fatigue management, personal safety, emergencies) mean a fatigue stop at a signed state rest area is consistent with this local law. Camping — as opposed to a fatigue stop — is prohibited.
