If a QLD apartment block has a permanent disability parking space, can the apartment allocate it to one disabled person only or must the disability space be shared by other disabled people in the apartment block?

This issue can cause some confusion so it is worth clarify and marking the spaces clearly.

In addition to any disabled markings, the spot should either be designated as a visitor’s space or assigned to an individual lot.

If it is a visitor’s space, then you would expect it to be a shared space for disabled people using the building.

If it is assigned to one lot then the space is for the use of that lot only. It doesn’t matter if the lot owner is disabled – they can use the space how they want and the markings indicate that the space is suitable for disabled vehicles.

This issue can cause some confusion so it is worth clarify and marking the spaces clearly.
