          7.2.2.3 Engineering Works Code

          The most relevant Engineering Works Codes applicable to this current application include the
          Driveways and Carparking Code. The code provides assessment criteria for carparking which
          includes:

                Entertainment and dining business — Type 1 Food & Beverages: 1 space per 10m2, or
                part thereof, of use area and outdoor dining area (excluding kitchen and food storage areas)
                on the property.

                Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness - 1 space per 20m2 , or part thereof, of use area;
                OR 1 space per 3 persons capable of being entertained at any one time, whichever is the
                greater.

          In accordance with the Noosa Plan, use area excludes:

                use area means the sum of the area of the premises (exclusive of all walls and columns),
                including all storeys , used or intended for use for a particular purpose. The term excludes —
                    a) the areas (inclusive of all walls and columns) of any lift rooms, motor rooms, air
                    conditioning
                    or other mechanical or electrical plant or equipment rooms located at any topmost storey;
                    b) The areas of any staircases or liftwells;
                    c) The areas of any common foyer or arcade;
                    d) The areas of any public toilets; and
                    e) The areas used for the access, parking and associated manoeuvring of motor
                    vehicles.

          It is noted that due to the upgrade proposed, the kitchen and associated storage areas as well as
          lift rooms, plant rooms, toilets and foyer areas have been expanded considerably as these areas
          were cramped and inefficient.
                                                                                    2
          The surf club has an existing gross floor area of 1850m which provides the club with an existing
          ‘credit’ with regard to carparking on site. The SBSLSC was constructed sometime in the mid
          1980’s at which time Surf Clubs were classed as indoor entertainment and assessed for
                                                         2
          carparking based on a rate of 1 space per 20m of total floor area under the 1973 scheme.
