Accessible Parking Marking That Meets Every Compliance Requirement
Accessible parking isn't just about the wheelchair symbol. It's about correct bay widths, proper shared areas, right distances from building entries, and compliant signage. Get any of these wrong and you're facing council fines starting at $4,800. We've marked thousands of accessible bays across Australia, every one meeting AS/NZS 2890.6 requirements.

What is Accessible Parking Compliance Is Non-Negotiable?
Quick answer: Line Marking Australia marks disabled (accessible) parking bays to AS/NZS 2890.6:2009 across Australia. Each bay is 2.4 m by 5.4 m with a 2.4 m shared area beside it, marked with yellow hatching and a bollard, and a white symbol on a blue background. Every job comes with compliance documentation you can show council or your building certifier.
A facility manager in Dandenong South called us after council slapped them with a $4,800 fine. Their accessible parking bays were marked as 2.9-metre single bays with no shared zone, instead of the required 2.4-metre bay plus 2.4-metre shared zone. The previous contractor had used standard bay templates. That's an expensive mistake we've seen repeated across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.
Accessible parking has specific requirements that standard carpark marking doesn't. Bays must be a minimum 2.4 metres wide, like regular bays, plus a dedicated shared zone. There must be a 2.4 metre wide shared area between bays or adjacent to a single bay. The International Symbol of Access must be correctly sized and positioned. And bays must be within 50 metres of an accessible building entry.
Beyond dimensions, there are requirements for surface gradients, tactile indicators at kerb ramps, and compliant signage. Miss any of these and you fail compliance. Councils are actively auditing and the fines are significant.
We've marked accessible bays for shopping centres, office buildings, medical facilities, schools, and public buildings. Every job includes compliance documentation confirming AS/NZS 2890.6:2009 requirements are met. That documentation protects you if council ever questions your accessible parking.

Frequently Asked Questions
AS/NZS 2890.6 requires accessible bays to be at least 2.4 metres wide, the same as standard bays, plus a 2.4-metre shared zone beside them. This extra width allows space for wheelchair deployment and mobility aid access from the side of vehicles.
The shared area is a 2.4 metre wide zone adjacent to accessible bays, marked with yellow hatching. It provides space for wheelchair deployment and prevents other vehicles parking too close. It can be shared between two adjacent accessible bays or provided on one side of a single bay.
Numbers depend on total parking and building classification. Under National Construction Code clause D4D6, shops need 1 accessible bay per 50 total bays (up to 1,000) and most other buildings need 1 per 100. Additional requirements may apply for certain building types like medical facilities. We can advise on your specific situation.
Bay lines are typically yellow, with the International Symbol of Access in white on a blue background. The shared area uses yellow hatching on the underlying surface. Blue bay colour provides high visibility and universal recognition of accessible parking.
Accessible bays must be within 50 metres of an accessible building entry via an accessible path of travel. The path must be continuous, adequately wide (minimum 1000mm), and meet gradient requirements. Distance is measured along the actual path, not straight line.
Every accessible parking project includes compliance certificates referencing AS/NZS 2890.6, dimension verification records, photos of completed work, and layout plans. This documentation is essential evidence if council or building certifiers audit your accessible parking provision.
Yes. Line Marking Australia marks disabled parking bays after hours, overnight or on weekends so your carpark stays open while you trade. Small jobs like a few accessible bays are usually finished in one shift, and you get a fixed-price quote within 48 hours of sending your plans or photos.
