Commercial Car Park Line Marking

We use several approaches depending on your property management system. Most common: sequential numbering (Bay 1, 2, 3 etc.) with a separate allocation list managed by property management. Alternative: tenant-specific numbering (e.g., Suite 401 gets Bays 401-405). We've also done colour-coded zones where Tenant A has blue-numbered bays, Tenant B has green-numbered bays etc. A business park in Bundoora had six separate tenants. We numbered bays sequentially but used floor-mounted reflectors matching tenant colours to help visitors identify which section belonged to each business.

Moderate commercial traffic (200-400 vehicle movements daily) sits between residential and shopping centre intensity. We typically recommend waterborne acrylic paint for most of the car park with thermoplastic for specific high-wear zones (main entry lanes, tight turning points, heavily-used visitor sections). A business park in Scoresby wanted to save money by using standard paint everywhere. We recommended thermoplastic just for the main entry circle where all traffic concentrated. Three years later the thermoplastic entry still looks perfect while we've repainted the outer sections once. The blended approach balances cost with durability.

The number comes from the National Construction Code (Table D4D6), not from AS/NZS 2890.6. Offices and industrial buildings need 1 accessible bay for every 100 car spaces or part of 100. Shops need 1 for every 50 spaces up to 1,000, then 1 more for every extra 100. So a 200-bay office building needs at least 2 accessible bays. Put them close to an accessible building entry, usually near the main lift. Each accessible bay is 2.4m wide with a 2.4m wide shared area beside it and a bollard in the shared area. Two bays can share one shared area. We'll calculate your exact requirements and identify the best locations based on your building entries and lift access points.

Yes. We often do smaller re-marking projects when tenants change or property managers want to refresh specific zones. Common scenario: a major tenant leaves and their 30 allocated bays need renumbering for new smaller tenants. We remove the old numbers using water blasting or grinding (prevents ghosting), repaint those specific bays, and apply new numbers. The fresh paint might be slightly brighter than older sections, but it blends within 2-3 months of UV exposure. A commercial building in Tullamarine had us remark just the visitor section (45 bays) when they reorganized tenant allocations. Saved them 60% versus remarking the entire 280-bay car park.

Yes. Commercial property managers need documentation for tenant lease schedules, building compliance records, and annual reporting. After completion you receive: completion photos of all marked areas, material certifications showing compliance with AS/NZS standards, dimension verification measurements, bay numbering layout diagram, and compliance certificate for your building file. Some property managers want this for lease agreements showing allocated parking bays. We've provided detailed diagrams for commercial lease schedules showing exactly which bays belong to which tenant.

Commercial car park line marking cost depends on the number of bays, numbering and stencils, accessible bays, line removal and whether work happens on a weekend. Line Marking Australia gives a fixed-price quote within 48 hours once you upload plans or photos of your office car park.
