When to provide accessible parks
Clause D1.3.2 requires an accessible route to the building from the building car park where required to be provided. The Building Code does not require buildings to have associated car parking, but Clause D1 of the building code has a number of requirements for situations when parking is provided for whatever reason.
Car parking is often required under the district plan of the territorial authority area where the building is located. These plans vary from place to place, with most requiring minimum parking numbers to service a development. Some cities specify a maximum number in particular situations, such as the Wellington Central Area where parking must not exceed 'a maximum of one space per 100sqm of floor area'.
Accessible parking is necessary for people with disabilities both as potential visitors and as workers in any building.
