A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
Carport means a roofed car parking space wholly or partly enclosed on not more than two sides, but open to the street that the carport gains vehicle access from.
A carport is a roofed vehicle-parking space that is enclosed on no more than two sides and remains open toward the street or vehicle-access direction. If more than two sides are enclosed, the structure is generally treated as a garage under this dictionary. Screens, doors and partial walls can therefore affect how the structure is classified.
