About Line Marking Sunshine Coast

What this site is

This site connects Sunshine Coast property managers, businesses, schools and body corporates with local line marking contractors. When an enquiry comes in, it goes to a contractor who works in the area and is appropriately qualified for the job.

All work is carried out by appropriately qualified contractors.

Why the guides are here

Line marking looks simple from the outside. Somebody paints lines. In practice a good deal of it is governed by published standards, and most of the people arranging it, facility managers, body corporate committees, business owners, school business managers, have never had reason to read them.

That gap is where money gets wasted. A car park gets marked over a failing surface. Accessible bays get repainted in a layout that was never compliant. Two quotes get compared as though they cover the same scope when one excludes removal and the other does not.

So the guides here try to explain what is actually going on: which standard covers what, why bay width and aisle width are related, what removal does to a surface, and what a quote should itemise so you can read it properly.

How the standards pages are written

Several pages describe Australian Standards, the National Construction Code, Queensland work health and safety requirements and council approval arrangements. That is the most useful information on the site and also the most likely to go out of date, so a few commitments about how it is handled.

• Everything is dated. Each page describing a requirement says when it was written.
• The source is named and linked. Accessible parking and building requirements go to the Australian Building Codes Board and Standards Australia. Work health and safety goes to WorkSafe Queensland. Road and approval questions go to Sunshine Coast Council, Noosa Council or Transport and Main Roads.
• Where this site and the source differ, the source is right. That is stated on every page that touches a requirement.
• Dimensions are described rather than quoted. Specific figures change between editions of a standard, and a number copied onto a website is not something to build from. Pages explain what is required and point you at the current standard for the figures.
• You are pointed at the right professional. A line marking contractor is not the person to answer an access compliance question, a WHS obligation or a road approval. Those go to an access consultant, a building certifier, WorkSafe Queensland or the road authority.
• Nothing here is professional or legal advice. It is general information about how the system works.

What you will not find here

• No testimonials or star ratings.
• No gallery of past jobs. Photographs on this site are illustrative only and do not depict specific jobs.
• No guaranteed response times or warranty claims.
• No prices. Line marking cost is driven by quantity, access, preparation and removal, and a single figure that ignores those is misleading. The cost guide explains what moves the number instead.

What to expect when you make contact

1. You give the site address or suburb, roughly how many bays or metres, and whether it is a re-mark or a new layout.
2. Because line marking is measured in bays and metres, you often get a realistic price on that alone, without a site visit.
3. Where a visit is needed, one is arranged. That means measuring, checking the surface condition and looking at access and timing.
4. You get a written quote that itemises quantity, material, preparation, removal, symbols, timing and traffic management, so you can compare it against another one properly.
5. If there is a deadline attached, an audit, a complaint, a lease date or a handover, say so up front. It changes what gets scheduled first.
