Amendments to Accessible Parking Provisions

Variation to QLDC Proposed District Plan Chapter 29 Transport & Plan Change to QLDC Operative District Plan Section 14 Transport

The changes amended the way accessible parking standards are expressed in the Operative District Plan and Proposed District Plan. The purpose of the changes is to ensure that the removal of the minimum on-site parking standards required by the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020 does not inadvertently alter the current requirements for on-site accessible parking.

Information on the decision to the variation can be found on the Decisions page here

Removal of Minimum Parking Requirements

The removal of minimum parking requirements from the Operative and Proposed District Plans as mandated by the NPS-UD (December 2021)
