Urban planner weighs in on the proposal for carpark sizes to be increased

A new proposal to increase carpark sizes has been put forward by lobby group Standards Australia, with an urban planner weighing in on the proposal.

Urban planner and author of “Rethinking Parking: Planning and Urban Design Perspectives” David Mepham claims there has been a trend towards much larger vehicles in recent times.

“I think there’s a lot of reasons for us to start having a closer look at parking,” Mr Mephan told Neil Mitchell.
