Minor Change Attachment 3 Traffic Engineering Advice

Motorcycle Parking
Due to the nature of the proposed land uses (Showroom), it is anticipated that there would be limited
demand for motorcycle parking on-site. The Retail Showroom uses proposed for a large portion of the
site generally stock larger or bulky items, which are not feasible to be transported via motorcycle.

We note that any customers or staff members that travel to the site on a motorcycle can utilise the
proposed general car parking spaces.

The limiting of dedicated motorcycle parking spaces to three (3) motorcycle spaces in favour of the
retention of car parking spaces maximises the number of parking spaces available for all users to the
site. That is, sharing of carparking spaces between motorcycles and cars is possible, but not the reverse.

The number of motorcycle parking spaces proposed in the Previous Approval was also noted to be
significantly less than the rate indicated in Councils’ Planning Scheme Policy 26. It is also noted that the
centre use opposite the development site (Noosa Civic Shopping Centre) also provides limited dedicated
motorcycle parking across a significantly larger site (less than 10 across the entire precinct).

Furthermore, some car parking spaces could be converted to motorcycle spaces in the future if
significant demands are observed during operation.


Car Parking Summary
The proposed car parking provisions are considered to be appropriate to meet the demands of the uses
on-site. The proposed PWD car parking space provision is also compliant with the Driveways and
Carparking Code.

The reduced provision of dedicated motorcycle parking spaces is considered appropriate, noting the
nature of the Proposed Development land uses and the ability of motorcycles to utilise car parking
spaces.
