Random blind person sues local council for misplaced tactile tiles causing slippage?

When my cat got old, she couldn't jump up onto beds and chairs anymore. So I would try to lift her up onto places she used to like.

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.
