<p><span>A response to AS2890.6:2009<br />If you are in the process of planning or upgrading an existing commercial or public carpark, <br />you are required to consider the needs of people with disabilities as set out in AS2890.6:2009.<br /></span></p>
<p><span>In Australia, there is a requirement under the standard, for all shared areas adjacent to a <br />dedicated parking space provided for the access and egress of people with a disability to be <br />protected by a fixed bollard.<br /></span></p>
<p><span>We recommend a fixed bollard to prevent the use of the shared area by other vehicles for parking, <br />or during unloading. A fixed bollard also, importantly, provides physical protection for people <br />with disabilities from other vehicles reversing or manoeuvring in a car park.</span><span><br /></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> CAUTION</strong>: Flexible or non-fixed bollards should be avoided as they provide minimal physical protection<br /> to users of shared vehicle parking zones.</span></em></span></p>
