Frequently Asked Questions

AS/NZS 2890.6 requires accessible bays to be minimum 3.2m wide. This is wider than standard 2.4m bays to allow space for wheelchair transfer from vehicles.

Requirements vary by facility type and total bay count. Generally 1-2 percent of total bays must be accessible. Medical facilities and shopping centres may require higher ratios.

The shared area is a marked space between adjacent accessible bays allowing wheelchair users to transfer from their vehicle. It must be minimum 2.4m wide with diagonal striping.

Tactile ground surface indicators must be placed at the junction between accessible bays and the pedestrian path of travel, alerting vision-impaired pedestrians to the vehicle crossing.

Councils can issue infringement notices with fines typically $2,000-$5,000 per bay. Additionally DDA complaints can result in orders to remediate plus compensation. Proactive compliance is far cheaper.
