Appendix: Parking and Loading
Parking and Loading Standards
Where there is more than one activity on a site the parking requirement is calculated separately for each activity and then added together. If a particular activity is not referred to in this Appendix, use the most similar activity for the proposal, calculating the most appropriate parking requirement to apply.
If an activity is not defined in this table then refer to 1292.0 - Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 1993 as a guide to determine what the closest activity would be.
