Why Understanding Accessible Parking Compliance?
Accessible parking compliance is one of the most misunderstood areas of carpark marking. We regularly see facilities with accessible bays that look correct but fail compliance inspection. The wheelchair symbol is there. The blue paint is there. But the dimensions are wrong.
AS/NZS 2890.6 specifies detailed requirements for accessible parking that go far beyond painting a symbol. Bay width minimum 3.2m, shared area requirements, gradient limits no steeper than 1:40, TGSI placement at specific locations, and signage positions.
This guide explains the key requirements property owners and facility managers need to understand. However compliance is technical and site-specific. When in doubt get expert assessment before marking. Remediation costs far more than doing it correctly the first time.

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.
