                                                                 15024 – Noosa Council April 2016




   •   will not have an adverse impact caused by light spillage, which is likely to be
       standard security lighting only (O7 & O8);
   •   provides for safety and security with security lighting to accord with the relevant
       Australian Standard (O9, O10, O11, O12, O13, O14 & O15);
   •   incorporates public toilets (O16) for the office component beside the proposed
       café and with the Community House building, which have been carefully designed
       to discourage non-legitimate uses;
   •   provides that any mechanical plant and equipment will be incorporated into the
       design of the development (O17);
   •   has direct access to public transport, with pedestrian pathways being proposed
       and end of trip and bicycle facilities being provided for the Community House
       building with bicycle parking provided at the rate of 1 space for 30m² and lockers

the Community Uses Code.

6.5    Driveways and Carparking Code
The proposed development has been assessed against the most relevant specific
outcomes of the Driveways and Carparking Code, as follows:
   • the proposed office component utilises the existing access off David Low Way,
      while the proposed Community House provides suitable access from Rufous Street
      which will not impact upon safety or the road network generally (O1);
   • the proposed driveways and crossovers are suitable for the intended use and
      match Council infrastructure (O2);
   • the number of driveways have been minimised (O3);
   • vehicular access does not adversely impact on the capacity, operations or
      maintenance of existing infrastructure (O4);
   • vehicular access does not adversely impact upon landscaping or significant native
      vegetation (O5);
   • all stormwater drainage from the development is to be treated before leaving the
      site in accordance with the proposed Stormwater Management Plan (Attachment
      3E)(O6).

With respect to the matter of parking, it is intended to provide 44 spaces including
disabled spaces for the proposed office component, which has a total use area of 883.6m².
The applicable carparking rate for the office component is 1 space per 20m² of use area,
which equates to 44 spaces. It is noted that 2 of the spaces are intended for short term
parking only.

It is accepted that the parking for the Entertainment and Dining Type 1 use is 1 space per
10m² of use area; however, given the small scale of this part of the development, which is
includes storage and kitchen areas, it is suggested that the 44 spaces proposed for the
