75 Design of carparking areas

Carparking, other than for individual dwellings, is to—

• avoid the use of mechanical car stacking devices, and

• not be readily apparent from public spaces, and

• provide safe and convenient pedestrian and traffic movement, and

• include adequate provision for manoeuvring and convenient access to individual spaces, and

• where possible, enable vehicles to enter and leave the site in a forward direction, and

• incorporate unobstructed access to visitor parking spaces, and

• be landscaped to shade parked vehicles, screen them from public view, assist in micro-climate management and create attractive and pleasant spaces, and

• provide on-site detention of stormwater, where appropriate, and

• make reasonable provision for the carparking needs of people with physical disabilities.

Unless the applicable Locality Statement provides otherwise, design of carparking areas is to be provided in accordance with the most recent “Guide to Traffic Generating Developments” (NSW Roads and Traffic Authority) with the exception that individual dwellings are to have carparking spaces of not less than the following dimensions—

Minimum carparking dimensions (individual dwellings)

| Type of carparking space | Width and length | | Single Open | 2.7m × 5.4m | | Double Open | 5.4m × 5.4m | | Single Enclosed | 3.0m × 5.4m | | Double Enclosed | 5.6m × 5.4m |
