What to send your strata manager, what to expect, and a pre-filled request form you can download.
Apartment and townhouse car parks are common property, so what you install in your bay is usually your body corporate’s decision. The good news is that the questions a committee asks — will it damage the building, can it be removed, does it obstruct anything — have straightforward answers for a freestanding unit.
The unit stands over your car on its own legs rather than taking up floor space in the bay.
No drilling into concrete or walls, and no anchoring. The unit is freestanding and can be removed.
All-steel construction with an electrocoated finish intended to improve corrosion resistance.
Check what your scheme says about personal storage and alterations in car park areas.
You will need your overhead clearance and bay width. Our car park ceiling height guide covers how to measure properly.
Send your strata manager the form below with your measurements and proposed location.
Ask for the decision in writing, and keep a copy with your building records.

The dimensions, weight rating, freestanding design, proposed location, installation method and confirmation that no drilling or permanent structural fixing is required. Your building may also request information about access, sprinklers, services or fire-safety requirements.
