When must car parking spaces be provided?

The car parking provisions apply to:

  • a new use; or
  • an increase in floor area, or site area of an existing use; or
  • an increase to an existing use by the measure specified in Column C of Table 1 in Clause 52.06- 5 for that use.

They may also apply when a permit is not required for a new use or for buildings and works.

If the car parking space requirement for a new use is less than or equal to the requirement for the existing use, and the existing number of car parking spaces is not reduced, then no additional car parking spaces need to be provided.
