Disabled parking spaces are a common feature in virtually every parking complex, as they should be. When it comes to setting out a new parking lot, it’s important to allow the correct amount of space for disabled spaces. Lines also need to be marked clearly and with quality equipment, to ensure their longevity.
Without ample space, those using these spaces can struggle to park, or enter and exit their vehicle. This results in a very poor user experience, which should be avoided at all costs. Every building manager must consider the importance of disabled parking spaces in their carpark.
At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we offer expert line marking and carpark setout services. We’ve worked with carparks big and small, creating safe and functional environments that deliver the best return on investment possible. We know exactly how to set out and mark disabled parking spaces, and what’s required to do the job right.

Who needs disabled spaces?
People with a disability and who hold a disabled parking permit are entitled to use disabled parking spaces. Anyone who uses the space without the proper permit will be fined and may have their vehicle towed. At the end of the day, these spaces are there to make life easier for handicapped people and therefore, they must be utilised properly.
How many disabled spaces do you need in your parking complex?
The rules and regulations around how many disabled spaces are required vary slightly from state to state. However, Building Codes Australia stipulates that for residential complexes and areas there must be at least one disabled space for every 100 regular spaces. But in a parking garage with 1000 or more spaces, there must be at least one disabled space for every 50 regular spaces. If the carpark contains 5 or fewer spaces, disabled parking spaces are not required. It’s important to ensure you are up to date with the specifications and have ample disabled parking available in your facility.
How do we mark out perfect disabled spaces?
We conduct carpark setouts for a range of clients in Sydney. We fully understand the importance of space planning to make sure your parking complex can operate efficiently and safely. This includes ample parking spaces and thoroughfares that are not too cramped. Conversely, we’ll ensure your parking spaces are not too large, which can cost you financially in the long run.
Disabled spaces must be as close to entrances and exits as possible, to provide easy accessibility. We will take the time to plan out your spaces so that there is plenty of room for disabled parking spots. We will ensure that these are easy to use for larger vehicles, and mark them carefully. The final product will be sure to make access easy for handicapped tenants, customers, clients, or employees.
