Legally, it's a CAR PARK, not a road, so road rules do not apply, you can do what you like and the only trouble you could face would be from Chadstone Centre Management
I wouldn't be so sure about that - a Police Officer can charge you with anything anywhere if they believe it will stand up in Court. Just as I, or you, or anyone else can make an arrest under Section 462 of the Crimes Act. see "Finds Committing". If the apprehending person sees an offence being carried out, wether a traffic offence of theft for example, an arrest/apprehension can be made, and subsequent charges laid to be heard before a Magistrate.

Well, not sure about over there, but I know here in WA the Traffic Act does make mention of car parks. I'm pretty sure it sets a 20km/h speed limit in car parks. Of course, being private property and not gazetted roads, I'm not sure how enforceable anything in a car park would really be.

Download - Tsuchiya's Drift Bible, learn some theory then go to calder drift night I think he speaks Chinese the whole movie, and there are english subtitles. Cars he drifts include, nissan S14a, toyota MR2 and impreza STI.
Adam, if you got caught doing doughnuts in a public carpark in the middle of the night, the police would reason with the situation like they always do and take a course of action accordingly. If you're by yourself, they'll probably issue you with a warning and be on their way.. If your racing around with a crowd happening and doing some dangerous out of control slides, im guessing they will canary the car and fine you regardless of whether it will stand up in court or not - and I bet it would. the magistrate won't fall for such a loop-hole easily, not from what i've seen.

I believe car parks are defined as a public place and as such all laws apply. Other wise it would probably fall under the "or road like areas" part of the writing.
Tell you what Yang? Ring the coppers, let em know what you are up to and see what they have to say...
...in fact statistically a copper has probably already read this thread.
Um hello there Constable. No trouble here. Gotta go!

Everyone at the drift night was like you at one stage. No skills, but wanted to drift.
So they went to their local off street drift meet (calder, In your case) and watched some others do it.
Then they said "I could do that" so they paid their 90 turnips and had a go.
Drift master saw them just learning and came and offered some tips.
He went out again and was better from the drift master's tips. Then more people offered tips and suggestions. New friendships were made and soon he was good at drift.
He hung out with his drift friends and went to all the drift meets they could. Soon he entered a competition. He placed very well for his first competition.
He kept practicing at all the drift events and was very happy.

He wanted to drift, so he went to chadstone car park and tried.
He slid straight into a concrete post and totalled his car. An innocent bystander was also injured in the crash.
The security guard called the police, who arrived promptly. Upon seeing the mess that is made, mr plod procedes to issue all sorts of tickes and infringement notices. The car is canaried and impounded.
He winds up in court with manslaughter charges and winds up in the klink. The innocent victim is suing for compensation. Chadstone is suing for damage.
He is very sad and poor. He has no car, no insurance and big Big payouts to make.

Yang, don't be so immature. You aren't only risking your own life if you decide to drift in a public area, you may also be risking any innocent bystanders' lives that may be in the area. I'm not having a go at you, but think about your actions as they DO have consequences.
Just pay the $90 and have the time of your life. There will be more experienced drifters there that'll give you some tips if you're friendly enough and you'll be doing it all in a controlled environment.

no why pay money for that?you can drift everywhere in the world,right?
At the end of the day, you are in Australia and you cannot legally drift on Australian roads. End of story.

Yang mate, drift nights are the best way to practice and learn. Atleast when it is on the track it is legal and no one else gets hurt. No one is perfect to start off with but you'll have more fun and learn more at these nights. I miss going to my drift nights in bris. Down in Melbourne studying a language. Do it legally mate
