Linemarking (Car Parks & Pavements)
Design & Compliance Requirements (NSW):
Line marking is not cosmetic - it is a regulated safety and access element of a site.
Our linemarking works are delivered in accordance with:
AS 2890.1 – Off-street car parking (bay sizes, aisle widths, circulation)
AS 2890.6 – Accessible parking
AS 1742.11 – Parking control markings and symbols
NCC / DA / CC conditions specific to the project
We ensure markings are clear, consistent, and correctly set out so they pass inspection and function properly in daily use.
Wheel stop placement is one of the most common causes of car park defects in NSW.
As illustrated, the location of a wheel stop must account for vehicle overhang, wall or kerb height, and the remaining effective bay length.
When wheel stops are installed too far forward or without reference to the approved car park setout, vehicles either overhang walls, kerbs, or pedestrian areas, or the usable parking length falls below the minimum required under the Australian Standards. This regularly results in bays that appear compliant on plan but fail at inspection once wheel stops are installed.
Builders often receive defects because wheel stops are treated as a final add-on rather than a compliance-critical element that directly affects bay dimensions and vehicle clearance.
The standard (Under AS 2890.1) also differentiates between parking to walls, kerbs above or below 150 mm, and rear-to-kerb or rear-to-wall conditions, each requiring different clearances as shown in the illustration.
Proper coordination of wheel stop height, setback, and line marking is therefore essential to ensure the bay remains compliant in real use, not just on paper.
