(4) What assessment is necessary to be undertaken for temporary disability parking at events, like the Royal Canberra Show, to ensure it complies with all disability parking regulations.
(5) Was the disability parking at the 2018 Royal Canberra Show compliant with all disability parking regulations.
Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) There were two disability parking areas available, with approximately 120 disability parking bays provided in total. 90 disability parking spaces were located in the accessible parking area on Flemington Road (across from the main entrance of EPIC); and an additional 30 parking spaces were located at the Gate 7 entrance to the venue.
(2) From the Flemington Road disability parking area, the maximum distance was approximately 120 metres; and from the Gate 7 disability parking the maximum distance was 50 metres to the secondary entrance for the event.
(3) Flemington Road disability parking area works included new concrete paths and ramps, cutting and removing debris from edging, blowing and sweeping of existing pathways. Traffic marshals were also located in this area to assist patrons in crossing Flemington Road to the main entrance.
The disability parking area at Gate 7 is hard stand to the venue entrance and required no additional works.
(4) An assessment for disability parking was completed by the venue and event organiser. Parking spaces for the venue are approximately 2,000. The ACTPLA General Code for Parking and Vehicle Access stipulates a minimum of 3% of the total number of parking spaces for disability parking.
With approximately 2,000 spaces identified, the requirement was to provide 60 disability parking spaces. Compliance AS2890 – Australian Standard for Parking Facilities was also taken into account.
