6.4 Blind aisle clearance

AS 2890.1 requires the end of the vehicle aisle to be extended by an additional 1m
beyond the last car space (so that the vehicle using this space can reverse out into the
extended aisle area for forward exit). The proposed design provides an aisle extension
of 1m length, beyond the last two car spaces (i.e. the disability-accessible space and the
caretaker’s space).


6.5 Gradients within parking modules
AS 2890.1 states that parking modules, at maximum, should have a grade of 1 in 16
(measured in any direction other than parallel to the angle of parking). In addition, AS
2890.6 states that the disability-accessible car parking space and the shared area shall
not exceed the grade of 1:40 in any direction. The proposed car parking modules are at
grade and are therefore capable of complying with the above requirement.


6.6 Gradient of the access driveway

In relation to the gradient of the access driveway, AS 2890.1 requires the first 6m into the
car park to include a maximum grade of 5% (1 in 20). The first 6m of the proposed two-
way driveway into the car park is at grade and therefore complies with the above
requirement.


6.7 Driveway width
This proposed driveway off Rufous Street is of two-way nature and can be designed to
satisfy the minimum width of 5.5m for two-way driveways as prescribed in AS 2890.1.


6.8 Vehicle maneuverability
In order to investigate the manoeuvrability conditions of a vehicle entering and exiting
the proposed car spaces, swept path assessments were undertaken using the
AutoTURN software (the industry standard vehicle swept path assessment software).
