Shopping Centre Carpark Line Marking: 650 Bays in Laverton North
Case Study FAQs
We scheduled all work for weekend nights, Saturday 8pm to Monday 6am. This gave us roughly 34 working hours per weekend. With two crews of six working simultaneously on different sections, we completed Level 1 the first weekend and Level 2 the second weekend. Monday morning, the carpark was ready for the first shoppers with no evidence we'd been there except fresh, crisp line markings.
High-traffic areas like main lanes, entrances, and accessible bays get constant vehicle movement and need Grade A thermoplastic. It's more durable and handles Melbourne's summer heat without softening. Standard parking bays see less wear, so waterborne paint is cost-effective and dries faster. This combination approach gives you durability where it matters and keeps costs reasonable overall.
The original bays were marked at 2.9 metres wide. AS/NZS 2890.6 requires a minimum of 3.2 metres for accessible bays. The shared zones between paired bays were also undersized. We reconfigured the layout to achieve full compliance, which meant adjusting adjacent standard bays slightly. Every accessible bay now meets the 3.2m minimum width with proper shared zones.
In a shopping centre environment with this traffic volume, you're looking at 4 to 6 years for the thermoplastic areas and 2 to 3 years for the waterborne paint sections. We recommend an annual inspection to catch any wear spots early. Touch-ups on high-wear areas are much cheaper than full remarking, and they keep you compliant year-round.
Yes. We've marked shopping centre carparks across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, from neighbourhood centres with 80 bays to major retail complexes with 2,000+ bays.
