F - Traffic Response and Revised Traffic Impact Assessment (17.09.19)

20 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville | Traffic Impact Assessment


6.3 Disability Carparking Review
The proposed development plan includes eight (8) PWD carparking spaces.

The Noosa Plan specifies that PWD carparking spaces are to comply with the Australian Standard for
Off-street Parking for People with Disabilities: (AS2890.6). The AS2890.6 states that the PWD parking
provision is to comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA). Noting the land uses proposed, the
BCA states that one (1) PWD space should be provided for every 50 carparking spaces or part thereof.

We reviewed the proposed PWD carparking provisions against the requirements of the BCA as
summarised in Table 6.2.

Table 6.2 PWD Carparking Provision Review
          Total Spaces
                                                  Provision Rate                         Required                Provided          Difference
           Provided
                                             1 PWD per 50 parking
            347 spaces                                                                    7 spaces               8 spaces              +1
                                                   spaces

The proposed PWD parking provision therefore meets the provision requirements of AS2890.6.


6.4 Motorcycle Parking
Due to the nature of the proposed land uses (Showroom and Shop), it is anticipated that there would be
limited demand for motorcycle parking onsite. We note that any customers or staff members that
travel to the site on a motorcycle can utilise the proposed general carparking spaces.

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

The number of motorcycle parking spaces proposed in the Previous Approval was also significantly less
than the required 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 carparking spaces could be converted to motorcycle spaces in the future if
significant demands are observed during operation.


6.5 Carparking Summary
The proposed carparking provisions are considered to be appropriate to meet the demands of the uses
onsite. The proposed PWD carparking 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 utilising carparking
spaces.
