What is Hobart Accessible Parking Must Meet Strict Standards for People Who Need It?
Quick answer: Line Marking Australia marks accessible parking in Hobart, from Sandy Bay to Glenorchy, to AS/NZS 2890.6:2009. A compliant bay is 2.4 m wide and 5.4 m long, with a 2.4 m shared space, a bollard, yellow shared-space markings and a white symbol on blue. In Hobart’s cool, damp climate we time work for dry, mild days.
A medical centre in Sandy Bay called us after receiving a complaint to the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner. Their accessible bays were marked at standard width without shared spaces. A patient using a wheelchair couldn't open their door fully to transfer. The centre faced potential discrimination findings and needed urgent remediation.
We redesigned their accessible parking to full AS/NZS 2890.6 compliance. 2.4m bays with 2.4m shared spaces between pairs, correct symbol placement at the front of bays, and compliant signage mounting locations marked. The centre resolved their complaint with evidence of compliant facilities.
We made a shared space error at a Glenorchy shopping centre in 2017. We marked the shared space at 1.8m instead of 2.4m minimum. Council inspection failed. We corrected at our cost, around $1,300.
Standards for disabled parking in Tasmania
Hobart accessible bays follow AS/NZS 2890.6:2009, the edition called up by the National Construction Code. NCC clause D4D6 sets how many bays you need: shops need 1 per 50 car spaces up to 1,000, then 1 per 100, and offices and industrial sites need 1 per 100. Tactile indicators follow AS/NZS 1428.4.1.

Frequently Asked Questions
AS/NZS 2890.6 specifies minimum 2.4m bay width. The key is the shared space between bays, which must be 2.4m minimum for wheelchair access.

Yes, we can audit your existing parking against AS/NZS 2890.6 and identify any non-compliance.
Vertical signs are separate but we mark sign post locations. AS/NZS 2890.6 specifies sign requirements coordinating with ground marking.
Yes. Hobart has cold winters, frosty mornings and frequent drizzle, and paint will not bond to a wet or icy surface. Line Marking Australia books Hobart accessible bay work for dry, mild days and checks the surface before painting. Bays near the Derwent waterfront also get salt air, so we check them for wear more often.
In Tasmania, accessible parking complaints can go to Equal Opportunity Tasmania, which is the office of the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner, or to the Australian Human Rights Commission. Line Marking Australia can mark your Hobart bays to AS/NZS 2890.6:2009 and supply measured photos showing the bays comply.
