Here at SEED, our mechanical team has experience in designing well and naturally ventilated carparks. To gain a more holistic perspective on, and better influence our innovative designs and solutions around multi-level carparks in Brisbane, we recently attended a discussion panel hosted by the AIA and PIA which focused on the problems and possible solutions to multi-level carparks in the Brisbane CBD.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

However, on the other side of the argument, Brisbane does not need to increase the number of multi-level carparks, and instead, plan for a decrease in demand. This perspective is rooted in how the transport culture of Brisbane could change. For example, less car parking spaces would be needed if there was a political agenda to:<\/span><\/div>\n
