Car Parking
The subject site is greenfield in nature and currently undeveloped.
Parking Provision
It is proposed to provide approximately 142 car parking spaces, to be confirmed at the detailed design stage.
It is understood that these would be dedicated for staff parking and self-driving student parking; and be
described as User class 1 by Table 1.1 within AS2890.1. This is because the parking spaces would typically be
used as all-day parking with a low turnover.
It is also understood that the car park would be utilised on occasion when overflow parent parking is
required ie sporting events, speech night, performing arts events etc. This type of use would be described as
User class 2 by Table 1.1 within AS2890.1.
The proposed car park is to be predominately used on a day-to-day basis by User class 1 uses and only on
occasion during large events for User class 2 uses. Therefore, it is expected that designing the car park for
User class 1 uses is suitable for the proposed development.
Carpark Layout and Design
Table 1 identifies the characteristics of the proposed parking area with respect to Council and Australian
Standard requirements. The last column identifies the compliance of each design aspect.
The layout of the on-site parking is generally consistent with the requirements outlined in the AS2890.1. It is
recommended that during detail design the layout remain consistent with the AS2890.1 requirements.
Table 1: Parking Design Requirements
Design Aspect Minimum Council Minimum AS2890.1 Proposed Provision Compliance
Standard Standard
Parking space length:
Parking bay 5.4m 4.8m - 5.4m 4.8m - 5.4m Refer below
Parking space width:
Parking bay 2.4m 2.4m 2.4m Compliant
Aisle Width:
Parking aisle 6.2m 5.8m 6.2m Compliant
Maximum Gradient:
Parking bay 1:15 (6.7%) 1:20 (5.0%) 1:40 (2.5%)
Parking aisle 1:20 (5.0%) 1:16 (6.25%) 1:40 (2.5%) Compliant
The car parking spaces have been designed at 2.4m wide, consistent with AS2890.1 requirements for User
class 1 uses. Therefore, the proposed car parking space widths are considered suitable for the proposed
development.
