9          Servicing Considerations
The Plan does not specifically prescribe any refuse collection requirements. As such, it is proposed that the
collection of refuse occurs on-street, alleviating any conflicts with parents and children within the car parking
area.

Similarly, the Plan does not specifically prescribe any requirements to provide commercial vehicle parking, other
than to say: ‘the layout of the development provides adequate, clearly defined and easily accessible (b) loading
and manoeuvring areas for delivery and service vehicles’. This requirement is from the Driveways and Parking
Code under Performance Outcome 7 (PO7). In response to this requirement, the development proposes one
SRV parking space to facilitate the delivery of groceries which is anticipated to occur at most once per day during
operating hours, avoiding peak times during the drop-off and pick-up of children. Other deliveries that may be
required will occur outside of operating hours. Refer to Appendix B for swept paths demonstrating the safe
turnaround and manoeuvring of an SRV vehicle into and out of the proposed SRV parking space.


10         Code Response
The traffic and transport aspects of the proposed development have been assessed against the relevant
requirements of the following codes included within the Noosa Plan 2020:
          Driveways and Parking Code.
          Transport Code.

Responses to each of these codes are provided at Appendix C and confirm that the subject development is
generally consistent with relevant code requirements.


11         Summary
SLR has been engaged by Stockwell to provide traffic engineering advice and prepare a Traffic Impact Statement
as part of a proposed Childcare facility located on Hofmann Drive on Lot 4 within the Noosa Business Precinct in
Noosaville, as shown on development plans provided at Appendix A. Based on the assessment documented
herein, the following can be concluded:
          Internal access, circulation and parking infrastructure is generally designed in accordance with relevant
           standards and meets the functional requirements of the development.
          The proposed supply of car parking is three (3) less than what’s prescribed within the Plan. However,
           a slight reduction of parking supply can be justified based on:
              the development is located within the Business Park Precinct which will likely attract parents who
               also work within this Precinct and can park at their workplace and walk to/from the Childcare centre
               and store their prams during the day.
              A comparison of five (5) other SEQ Council’s resulted in an average parking supply of 26.4 spaces of
               which this proposed development meets.
              A slight reduction in parking supply aligns with the Plan’s Strategic Intent for Transport.
          The subject development provides for a sufficient amount of bicycle parking, along with suitable end-
           of-trip facilities, noting that the Plan’s requirement for 10 spaces is considered excessive.
