Applicant. Res Bella Pty isd

 

Preliminary discussions with Council staff indicated that the use of the two access points would be
appropriate.

The applicant is proposing to provide 4 covered carparking spaces on site which is in excess of minimum
carparking requirements of three spaces. This configuration was determined to be the most appropriate
arrangement for the site due to the lot shape and manceuvring requirements of the Australian standards,

Planning officers from Council have advised at an Industry Working Group meeting, that the provision of
two double garages on site for duplex dwellings would be acceptable and considered to fulfill the parking
requirements. Further staff advised that they had been accepting such provision on a regular basis under
the Noosa Plan.

The applicant therefore requests that Council be consistent in assessment of carparking for these sites and
agree to the provision of additional carparking on site.

The proposal meets the Specific Outcomes for carparking as demonstrated below:

O89 Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be
generated by the development having regard to the specifics of the use including—

a) the type and intensity of land use;

The applicant is providing carparking in excess of Councils requirements for duplex dwellings.
The use is of a residential nature and is of a low intensity not generating significant traffic
volumes. The development and traffic generation is consistent with surrounding development.

b) any existing parking available on the site;
The applicant is providing four spaces on site which is more than required by the Noosa Plan.

¢) hours of operation;
The residential use of the site and provision of four spaces will ensure that carparking will be
sufficient for the site. .

d) likely numbers of users;

The main users of the site will be the residents who will utilise the double garages. Whilst it is
noted that there is no specific designated visitor carparking on site, it is considered a more
appropriate solution to provide carparking for the residents of the site who will utilise the carparks
on a daily basis rather than providing a space for the occasional visitor. Due to two individual
garages being provided on site visitors can park in a tandem arrangement behind the garages if
necessary.

@) the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; and

The peak period for carparking will generally relate to peak holiday season. As indicated above
itis considered more appropriate to provide carparking for residents on a daily basis rather than
the occasional visitor.

A the availability of alternative carparking.
On street carparking is available within Grant Street as well Banksia Avenue.
6.2 Overlays

The site is subject to the requirements of the Biodiversity Overlay as it proposes to remove vegetation
of local origin. The proposal complies with Specific Outcome 02 of the Overlay which states:

02 interference with vegetation on land committed for development, only occurs where
that part of the land to be cleared is to—

a) accommodate a house site area and any necessary effluent disposal system, where
no other suitable cleared or partially cleared area is available on the premises;

b) provide for reasonable and necessary access to a building or structure; or

C) provide for the reasonable and necessary control of fire risk to a building or structure.
