AS2890.1 Requirements
AS2890.1 contains minimum dimensions for apron widths at garage accesses. These
dimensions are shown in Figure 3 for garage doors of various widths. Thus, for a 2.4
metre wide door, a 7.0m apron is required, and for a 3.0m wide door, a 5.6m wide
apron is required (refers to Figure 4).

                         Figure 4: Apron Width for Single Car Garages

The proposed development incorporates 6m wide double garage doors and 5.4m long
car parking spaces. The minimum corresponding apron width is therefore 5.6m to
maneuver into and out of these garages. The attached drawing appears to comply with
this requirement.

The proposed plans show a small separation between the door of garage two and the
fence accessing the pool. As per AS2890.1 Table 1.1 it is considered acceptable for
vehicles to undertake a three-point turn entry and exit in 90 degree parking spaces for
residential uses.
