Car Parks

Standard

The main guidance for Car Parks is taken from the US wiki page on Parking Lots. The main points you need to consider are summarised here.

The place and it's associated car park should be separate entries, not combined.
The naming standard generally is to precede the place name with "Parking - ".
The name can be shortened - for example the car park for "McDonald's Wodonga South" can be simply "Parking - McDonald's".
Only car parks that are available to the general public should use the "public" type. The exception to this is where multiple car parks exist for one place.

The table below lists some of the variations specific to Australia.

Type	Type	Standard	Example	Comment
Park and Ride	Public	Park 'n' ride [station location]	Park 'n' ride Strathpine	This standard applies across all states to provide consistent naming. Any state differences should be added as an alternate name.
Shopping Centre	Restricted	Parking - [centre]	Parking - HInkler Central	Where there is only one car park the type should be "restricted". If there are multiple car parks they should be made "public".
Paid Public Parking	Public	[Provider] + [Car park name]	Secure Parking 243 Central Avenue	Street addresses are not used for car park names. The exception is when it is used by the provider to name their car park.
