4            Car Parking Arrangements
4.1 Council Parking Supply Requirement
Table 4.1 below sets out the NSC standards in terms of car parking provision. The parking standards are
based on rates set out in the NSC ‘Driveways and Parking Code’.

Table 4.1: Car Parking Supply Requirement

   Land Use                           Council Requirement             Extent    Requirement       Provision
   Showroom                           1 space/50m2                    2,675m2      53.5
   Office                             1 space/30m2 for second floor   1,267m2      42.2              95
   Total                                                                            96


NSC specifies that PWD spaces will be provided at the rate specified in Australian Standards. According to
Table B1 in AS2890.6, the provisions regarding the number of required accessible car spaces for Australia are
given in Building Code of Australia (BCA). In accordance with the BCA requirements, class 5 buildings require
PWD spaces at a rate of 1 space per 100 parking spaces. The development proposes 2 PWD spaces located at
the eastern side of the main car park close to the building entry.

The development provides 95 spaces across the site, a shortfall of 1 space from the NSC requirement.

It is expected that parking will be shared throughout the Noosa Civic Centre and patrons are likely to visit the
centre to access multiple developments. The proposed development is therefore likely to have a lower
practical parking requirement than noted in the Noosa Council Plan and the proposed parking supply is
therefore considered adequate.

Noosa Council specifies that motorcycle spaces are to be provided at a rate of 1 space per 100m 2 GFA for
offices and showrooms. The development provides 13 motorcycle spaces located across the site while
council requires 39 motorcycle spaces, resulting in a shortfall of 26 spaces. It is expected that the practical
motorcycle parking requirements for the proposed development will not exceed the 13 spaces provided and
in the unlikely event that all motorcycle bays are occupied, unoccupied vehicle spaces could be used for
short term visitor motorcycle parking.

Furthermore, it is noted that the previous NSC 2006 Planning Scheme specified a rate of 1 motorcycle space
per 10 parking spaces, requiring a total of 10 motorcycle spaces. The proposed development exceeds this
previous requirement by 3 spaces.
