4. Parking Provision Requirements
The parking provision requirements for the proposed development have been
determined with reference to the parking rates presented in Table 9.4.1.4 (Minimum
parking requirements including end-of-trip facilities) within Section 9.4.1 Driveways and
Parking Code of the Noosa Plan 2020.


4.1 Car parking requirements
Table 9.4.1.4 of the Noosa Plan provides the following car parking rates:

   •   Caretaker’s accommodation – one covered car space
   •   Office - If:
                         located in the Major Centre Zone in Noosa Heads:
                             • one space per 20m2 for the ground floor; and
                             • one space per 30m2 for the second and third floors; or
                         otherwise one space per 20m²


Application of the above rates to the proposed development (which is not located
within the Major Centre Zone in Noosa Heads) with 1 caretaker dwelling and 383.07 sqm
of office space leads to a requirement of 21 car spaces (rounded up to the nearest
whole number). This requirement consists of 20 spaces for office use and 1 space for the
caretaker.

The proposed development includes a total of 12 car spaces (11 for office + 1 for
caretaker). This proposed parking provision includes a shortfall of 9 car spaces for office
use. As such, dispensation is sought as a part of this application, in relation to 9 office car
spaces.

Justification for office car parking shortfall

Based on the parking rate provided in the Noosa Plan, the proposed office use should
provide a total of 20 car spaces.
