 Noosa Fair and Bowls Club Expansion

© 2013 - TTM Consulting Pty Ltd                                                       Reference No: 12SCT0068


4.6        PWD Parking Requirements
The Noosa Plan identifies PWD parking to be supplied at the rate indicated in AS 2890.1 – Parking
Facilities (Part 1: Off-street Car parking). This standard was superseded in 2004, with the recent
standard not providing guidance on rates of PWD parking provision.
The Draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme refers to the Building Code of Australia (BCA) for PWD
parking rates. The BCA provides PWD parking rates for most types of land uses. Table 4.4 shows
the PWD parking requirements for dominant land uses included in the proposed expansion.

Table 4.4: PWD Parking Requirement

 Building Class               PWD Rate           Land Use Parking Requirement         PWD Requirement

 Class 6 – Shop               2 spaces / 100                    37                               1

The Coles expansion should therefore provide 1 additional PWD to those already on-site. It is
noted that the existing 5 PWD bays within the car park will be relocated as part of the Coles
expansion. These PWD bays will be relocated in accordance with AS2890.6-2009 Off-street
parking for people with disabilities.


4.7        Car Park Layout
The existing car park will remain as approved, however several non-standard parking spaces near
the servicing area to the east will be removed as well as 14 spaces along the Coles frontage to
allow the expansion.
The remainder of the existing car parking area has been approved and additional spaces are
provided in accordance with Australian Standards, therefore the car park layout is considered
suitable.


4.8        Council Motorcycle Requirements
The Noosa Plan identifies that motorcycle parking should be provided at a rate of 1 per 10
standard spaces for retail, commercial and entertainment and dining businesses. This equates to 4
motorcycle spaces which should be provided for the Coles expansion. Motorcycle parking counts
towards overall parking supply at a rate of 1 space per 4 standard spaces.
A total of 5 motorcycle bays are provided which exceeds Council requirements and is therefore
considered suitable. The motorcycle bays are designed in accordance with AS2890.1 which
identifies 1.2m wide and 2.5m deep motorcycle bays.
