                                                 Proposed Rooming Accommodation, 23 Bottlebrush Ave Noosa Heads
                                                                                          Traffic Report Rev A



3.0 Proposal
The proposed development is a rooming accommodation development comprising 16 single bedrooms with ensuites as
shown in the architectural plans included as Appendix A.
Vehicular access to the development is proposed via a driveway adjacent to the western site boundary, and the proposed
development provides six (6) car parking spaces, eight (8) motorcycle spaces and nine (9) bicycle spaces as shown in the
extract from the site plan provided as Figure 3 below.
The traffic elements of the design scheme have been developed based upon the requirements of Council’s Planning
Scheme and/or the relevant Australian Standards, as discussed in the following sections.




Figure 3: Extract from Site Plan


3.1 Vehicular Access
As previously noted, vehicular access to the development is proposed via a driveway adjacent to the western site
boundary. This location has been selected to ensure the large gum tree within the verge on the eastern boundary can be
retained. The proposed driveway is 5.0m wide in accordance with the requirements in Section 3.2.1 of AS2890.1 which
specifies a width of 3.0m-5.5m for driveways fronting a local street and having fewer than 25 spaces.

3.2 Car Parking Provision
Table 9.4.1.4 in Council’s Driveways and Parking Code recommends the following car parking rate for Rooming
Accommodation:
    a) one space for a manager in residence, if applicable; and
    b) one space per two bedrooms
The application of the above parking rates to the proposed development (which comprises 16 x 1-bedroom) and does not
have an on-site managers residence, suggests a parking requirement of eight (8) spaces.
However, as detailed in A06.2 of the Driveways and Parking Code, motorcycle spaces can be provided on site in lieu of
required car parking spaces, at the following rates:
    a) 2 motorcycle spaces provided for 0.5 car parking space; or
    b) 4 motorcycles spaces provided per 1 car parking space; and
    c) up to a maximum of 4 car parking spaces.
The applicant has provided eight (8) motorcycle spaces, which reduces the parking supply by two (2) spaces.

As shown in the plans included as Appendix A, the proposed development provides six (6) car parking spaces on the
ground level which complies with Council’s Acceptable Outcome.
