Can our body corporate allow elderly people over 75 yrs of age or people with small children who are visitors to park in the disabled car park if the visitor parking is full?
This would depend on the terms of the body corporate’s development approval.
Todd Garsden - This would depend on the terms of the body corporate’s development approval which may set out the use of the disabled car park. I suspect it would not allow usage based on age – but rather disability.
William Marquand - Disabled parking spaces are designed for people with a disability. So, in QLD, unless a person using the space has a disability and relevant disability parking permit they shouldn’t park in those spots. There are state and national laws mandating this so it is not something that you can get around.
If you think the space could be better used then perhaps the committee could raise the issue with the council to see if it could be re designated.
