Ramp Gradient Calculator



*If the slope degree is unknown, the slope PERCENTAGE can be calculated by dividing the rise (ie. height) by the horizontal length (in the same unit of measurement) and then multiplying by 100.

Required Accessible Rooms and Parking Calculator


This calculator is based on Table D3.1 and D3.5 of NCC 2019 Volume 1 (Amendment 1)
Class 1b: BCA Definition: A boarding house, guest house, hostel or the like with a total area of all floors not exceeding 300m2, and where not more than 12 reside, and is not located above or below another dwelling or another Class of building other than a garage.

Class 3: BCA Definition: A residential building, other than a Class 1 or 2 building, which is a common place of long term or transient living for a number of unrelated persons. Example: boarding house, hostel, backpackers accommodation or residential part of a hotel, motel, school or detention centre.

Note there are no carparking requirements for Class 2 under the BCA unless adaptable housing has been mandated by the Council. Class 2 is defined as ‘A building containing 2 or more sole-occupancy units each being a separate dwelling’.
