High Density Storage Considerations Checklist: •
Where possible all high-density apartment developments should allow for a single, enclosed storage unit per apartment minimum 6m3. If storage is located in carpark, the height will be limited by requirement to ensure there 500mm clearance from any sprinkler heads. Storage cage doors and public facing elevations colour bond cladding. Dividing walls and top of cages to be chain mesh.
•
• •
Wire fronted storage cages should be avoided where possible.
All storage cages are to have a hinged security door able to be locked, as a minimum, with a barrel bolt capable of accepting a padlock. If a proprietary system is used with integrated locks, all storage units are to be keyed di erently. Hinges must be capable of full swing path in either direction when not obstructed by adjacent partitions. Plinths within storage units or raised above bonnet storage units are preferred to eliminate condensation and flooding issues. Allow for a lockable storage room large enough for tenants moving in or out to store the contents of their apartment, nominally 30-40m2.

(c) Standing area required for electric scooters is 1500mm x 800mm with the verandah at least 1.50m wide with a minimum length to include an adjacent doorway.
