off and pick up zone with queuing for a further 8 vehicles within the site. While
temporary, the queueing area increased significantly in 2022 with changes to the drop
off and pick up area due to the removal of the Area C. The proposed final configuration
of this area will provide for up to 16 vehicles in the designated drop off and pick up
zone and 6 queued vehicles.

As shown in Table 3 the number of vehicles queued has significantly decreased,
mitigating any potential impact to the Eumundi Road/Goodchap Street roundabout.


5.3      Parking Demand

Parking occupancy surveys were carried out to determine the parking demand at the
college. Survey areas are shown in Figure 3. Occupancy was recorded every 10
minutes between 7:30am and 9:00am and also between 2:30am and 4:00pm with
surveys between 9:00am and 2:30pm and 4:00pm and 4:30pm recorded in 15 minute
intervals. A summary of the peak demand for parking across all zones in provided in
Table 4 for 2020 surveys and Table 5 for 2022 surveys.

Please note the Pre‐prep area provides parking for childcare and has approval under
separate conditions and therefore has been excluded from the results.
