                                                                                                                      8




3.3 Car Parking Provision
Column 2 within Table 14-51 of The Noosa Plan sets the minimum vehicle parking requirements
for Type 3 retirement & special needs use as follows:

“For residential aged care staff and visitor parking at the rate of 1 space per 4 residential aged
care beds within the facility:
AND
1 emergency vehicle space.”

Based on the above rate, Council’s recommended car parking supply for the ultimate design
(existing + new addition) would be:

    
 Aged Care (with ancillary):= (142 beds x 1 space / 4 beds) + 1 emergency bay
      = 36 spaces + 1 emergency bay

As illustrated on the Overall Site Plan (Drawing No. SK01, Revision E), prepared by LVO’
Architecture Pty Ltd, included in Appendix B of this report, it is proposed to supply a total of 88
car parking spaces( including 1 ambulance bay) for the ultimate design of the aged care facility.
Up to 58 car parking spaces will be located beside Cooroy Noosa Road alignment fence, 29 car
parking spaces will be located under the activity block. The ambulance bay will be located
beside the service access driveway.

The car parking supply is in accordance with the Council’s parking requirements for an aged
care facility and is therefore satisfactory.



3.4 Internal Layout
Probable Solution S8.1 within Table 14-50 – “Carparking and manoeuvring” of The Noosa Plan
requires that all car parking spaces are designed in accordance with AS2890.1 and AS2890.2.
For the proposed uses, the following minimum car parking dimensions are therefore required:

    
 Residential (Class 1A):                      2.4m wide, 5.4m long, 5.8m wide aisles;
                                                   (widen to 3.2m wide for the bays of people
                                                   with disabilities); and
    
 All other spaces (equivalent Class 3):       2.6m wide, 5.4m long, 5.8m wide aisles.

As illustrated on Figures A2, A3 and A4 within Appendix A, the proposed car parking spaces
generally comply with the minimum dimensions set-out in AS2890.1:2004.

It is expected that the southern car park, which is elongated in shape, will operate satisfactorily
due to the low turnover rate and the low occupancy rate of the southern car park.
