AS/NZS 2890.1 sets out the minimum requirements for the design and layout of off-street parking facilities for motor cars, light vans up to 5.4 m long and motorcycles. It includes access and egress requirements for both public and private car parks, and car parking on domestic properties.
The objective of this document is to provide planners, designers and regulatory bodies with requirements and recommendations for the design and layout of off-street parking facilities.
The following lists the principal changes and additions to this edition of the document:
(a) A reappraisal of design vehicle characteristics and dimensions which includes, an increase in the dimensions of the B99 design vehicle length and width and consequential increases in the dimensions for parking spaces and access ramps.
(b) Changes to the definitions of vehicle user classes.
(c) Updating the sight distance requirements at access points.
(d) Identification of additional design requirements for mechanical parking.
(e) Re-organisation of gradient requirements to consolidate within a single section.
