Shopping centres can hold thousands of people at peak times, supermarkets have dense aisle layouts that restrict movement, and individual retail tenancies change hands frequently. AS 3745 requires evacuation diagrams in all retail buildings, whether a standalone shop, a strip mall tenancy, or a multi-level shopping centre. Both the centre management and individual tenants may have compliance obligations. Section 02 ## Why retail need diagrams - High public foot traffic with shoppers who are unfamiliar with back-of-house exits - Shopping centres have complex layouts spanning multiple levels, car parks, and service corridors - Tenant fit-outs change frequently, requiring updated diagrams each time - Supermarkets and large-format stores have dense shelving that limits visibility of exit signage - Centre management and individual tenants share responsibility for emergency planning - Council and fire authority inspections are routine for high-occupancy retail buildings Section 03 ## Where to install diagrams - At every public entry and exit point - Near escalators, lifts, and fire stairs in shopping centres - Inside each retail tenancy (visible to staff and customers) - At supermarket service desks and staff areas - Loading docks, service corridors, and back-of-house areas - Food court and amenities areas - Car park levels at pedestrian entry points Section 04 ## Common challenges Retail spaces change constantly. New tenants, seasonal pop-up stores, and fit-out modifications mean evacuation diagrams can become outdated quickly. Shopping centres also need to coordinate diagrams across the base building (managed by the centre) and individual tenancies (managed by each retailer). Supermarkets and large stores must ensure exit routes remain clear despite high-density shelving, trolley bays, and promotional displays that can obstruct pathways. Section 05 ## How EvacPath helps - Handle large, multi-level shopping centre plans with clarity - Deliver fast updated diagrams when tenancies change or new fit-outs are completed - Affordable pricing for retail chains with multiple store locations - Produce both base-building and tenancy-specific diagrams from the same floor plan - No site visit needed for standard retail layouts Related ## Related industries [ Industry ### Evacuation diagrams for restaurants and hospitality venues AS 3745-compliant evacuation diagrams for restaurants, cafes, pubs, and hospitality venues in Australia.

In a shopping centre, centre management is typically responsible for the base building diagrams (mall corridors, common areas, car parks, fire stairs), while individual tenants are responsible for diagrams inside their leased tenancy. The lease usually spells out the split. For standalone retail stores, the operator holds full responsibility. When does a fit-out trigger new diagrams? Any fit-out that changes the internal layout, exit paths, or fire equipment placement triggers a need for updated diagrams. This includes new tenants moving into a space, internal walls being added or removed, or changes that affect exit door swings or sightlines. We turn around updated tenancy diagrams in 3 to 5 business days from the new tenancy plan. How are large supermarkets handled? Supermarkets and large-format stores need diagrams that show the store layout including aisles, service desks, back-of-house storage, loading docks, and emergency equipment. We produce diagrams that read clearly even with dense shelving on the plan, and we can include additional zone diagrams for cool rooms, freezer rooms, or food preparation areas if needed.
