Following the release of Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2890.1-2004: Off-street parking, a review was undertaken to ascertain that Standard's consistency with Australian Standard AS 2890.5-1993: On-street parking, and whether both documents were easily interpreted by practitioners. The review specifically focused on those parts of the standards relating to the design of angle parking modules, and in particular Table 1.1 and Figure 2.2 of AS/NZS 2890.1-2004, and Table 2.2 and Figures 2.2-2.5 of AS 2890.5-1993. In the process of completing the review, a cross section of practitioners from local and state government were consulted and their feedback collated. The general feedback was consistent with the broader findings of the review, which highlighted a number of inconsistencies in the tables and figures. In addition, it was identified that the interpretation of the Standards could benefit from provision of additional guidance on requirements for manoeuvring in and out of parking spaces.
