RE:       3 – 42 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville
          Traffic Engineering Review of Car Parking Changes

Dear Russell,

I refer to proposed changes to the existing car parking layout at 3 – 42 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville, for the purpose of
installing a new fridge, and your request for a traffic engineering review of those changes. An excerpt of the plan which
annotates dimensions for the proposed changes is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Proposed Car Parking Changes




                                                                 2400mm (min) +
                                                                300mm clearance




The proposed changes have been reviewed against the Australian Standard for Off‐Street Car Parking (AS/NZS2890.1‐
2004). In addition, swept path assessment have been undertaken for the 85th percentile passenger vehicle, as defined
by the Australian Standard, accessing car bay 24. The review has identified:

         Car parking bays maintain minimum dimensions required by the Australian Standard for long‐term parking,
          specifically 2.4m (W) x 5.4m (L) accessed by a 5.8m aisle. Indeed, the access aisle is wider than the requirement,
          and car parking bays 21 ‐ 24 are 2.5m (W), providing increased accessibility.
         A 0.3m clearance has been provided between car bay 24 and the freezer.
         As shown at Attachment A, a B85 vehicle can enter parking bay 24 in a single manoeuvre, with minor overhang
          of the vehicle body over the adjacent landscaping.
         A B85 vehicle can exit the site in a forward gear from parking bay 24 with one reposition manoeuvre.

The modified design is therefore appropriate from a traffic engineering perspective.
