    Parking spaces (minimum) setout sizes are governed by an Australian Standard, which is enforced by planning and building permit compliance.

    There is usually a requirement to provide a certain minimum number of spaces depending on the building usage, which is set out in the local government planning scheme. Most of the time, the more parking you have, the less area is available for the actual building and other uses.

    The upshot is that parking is nearly always designed to the minimum standard, which these days is far too small for the large trucks that the small egos like to drive.

      similar here in america, idk about the size for them, but there is a minimum number of required spaces to hold based on land use regulations. Which is really cool.
