Why Accessible Parking Isn't Just Wider Bays with Blue Paint?
A shopping centre in Highpoint called us after a disability advocacy group lodged a formal complaint about their accessible parking. The bays had the wheelchair symbol, but they were only 2.7 metres wide, there was no shared space between bays, and the path to the accessible entry crossed behind reversing vehicles. The centre was facing potential DDA action and needed proper accessible parking urgently.We redesigned their accessible parking zone from scratch. Proper 3.2 metre wide bays, 2.4 metre shared spaces between pairs of bays, correct symbol placement, and a marked accessible path connecting to the building entry that didn't require crossing traffic lanes. The complaint was withdrawn after the advocacy group inspected the completed work.Accessible parking serves people who genuinely need the extra space. A wheelchair user needs room to deploy their chair beside the vehicle. Someone with mobility aids needs space to manoeuvre. The shared space between bays allows two vehicles to have wheelchair access simultaneously. These aren't arbitrary dimensions; they're based on actual accessibility requirements.The international symbol of access, the blue wheelchair symbol, has specific proportions and placement requirements.

Building Code Accessible Parking
Building Code of Australia references AS/NZS 2890.6 for accessible parking requirements. Non-compliant accessible parking can prevent building certification and create ongoing legal liability.

Frequently Asked Questions
AS/NZS 2890.6 requires minimum 2.4m bay width plus access to a 2.4m shared space, effectively giving each accessible bay 3.2m of usable width. The extra space allows wheelchair deployment beside the vehicle.
Shared space is a 2.4m wide marked area between two accessible bays that both vehicles can use for wheelchair access. It's marked with hatching and must be kept clear of obstructions. One shared space serves two adjacent accessible bays.
The symbol should be placed at the front of the bay where it's visible to approaching drivers, typically 1-2 metres from the front of the bay. We also mark the symbol on the shared space hatching for additional visibility.
AS/NZS 2890.6 specifies minimum numbers based on total parking provision: 1 accessible bay per 50 standard bays up to 1000 bays, then 1 per 100 above that. Building type and use may require additional provision.
Yes, AS 1428.1 requires continuous accessible paths from accessible parking to building accessible entries. We can mark the path connection and coordinate with tactile indicator installation if needed.
