Car parking lot
Urban Design Guidelines for Victoria, published by the State of Victoria (Australia) in 2016, defines car parking lots as: ‘…open areas of land used for parking cars. They can be publicly or privately owned and are generally located in activity centres, at train and bus stations, and other facilities accessed by car. Some higher density residential developments may incorporate private car parking lots.’
