Reference Document MCU23-0145 - Vehicle Access and Car Parking Requirement

Accordingly, the proposed development has a statutory car parking requirement to provide
32 car parking spaces.

In relation to accommodating loading activities, the overall site comprises a number of
smaller-scale individual warehouse style tenancies consisting of a floor area of between
42.66 sqm and 195.79 sqm. Being so small in size, the maximum size of the vehicle for
loading expected for the site would be up to a 6.4-metre-long Small Rigid Vehicle (SRV).

The development proposed to provide 32 car parking spaces (including one DDA space)
meeting the car parking requirements under Table 9.4.1.4 of the Noosa Plan 2020 and
therefore considered acceptable. Of the 32 car parking spaces, 30 of the spaces are
external to the warehouse tenancies and will be able to readily accommodate any visitor
on-site.

4. Swept Path Assessment

An assessment (refer to Appendix A) of the accessibility to/from the car parking spaces
using the ‘Autodesk Vehicle Tracking’ software has been conducted. The B99 (99%
percentile car) was used in the assessment and it was found that the site could be
circulated in a satisfactory manner. All vehicles will be able to enter/exit the site in a forward
direction.

The assessment indicates that the 6.4-metre-long small rigid vehicle (SRV, as defined by
AS2890.2:02018) is able to access the site via the proposed Rene Street crossover. The
SRV is able to circulate the site and utilise the accessway (adjacent to the micro
warehouses) to depart the site in a forward direction back onto Rene Street. An SRV is also
able to access the basement car park via the ramp and circulate the basement car park.

The assessment indicates that the 10.2-metre-long waste truck is able to access the site,
turn around, prop within the accessway, collect waste, and depart the site in a forward
direction.

The assessment indicates that the vehicular access arrangements have been designed
appropriately and in accordance with the requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020, and/or
AS/NZS 2890.1:2004.

5. Response to Council Information Request

An Information Request was received from the Council on 15 December 2023

response.

Item - Carparking

Engineering have the following comments relating to the proposed carparking layout
of the development:

¢ Council is not supportive of the proposed tandem carparks where impacting the
main entrance to the tenancies i.e., roller door as this impacts the ability for deliveries
to premises.
