A total of 55 spaces are currently provided for stages 1 to 4 which provides 4 spaces above current
scheme requirements. No changes are proposed to the provision of motorcycle or bicycles spaces
as the amount provided is considered sufficient for the proposed industrial use of the site.

No additional floor area is proposed for stage 5. Stage 5 has an approved area of 1191m2 and
provides a total of 34 car parking spaces, 3 motorcycles spaces and 12 bicycle spaces. In
accordance with the Noosa Plan 2020 stage 5 requires a total of 17 spaces and this stage is still
fully compliant.

requirements and will not impact on the functioning of the site or surrounding area.
