Information Response - Traffic

Of note, a new business has recently begun operation within Unit 2 (City Cave Noosa). The use is a
health and well-being based company which focusses on massage, sauna and spa packages. The
business operates 7 days a week between 9am and 9pm. At maximum capacity the business caters for
12 customers. The tenant anticipates that their peak trading hours will be between 12-3pm – outside
of Fitstop’s proposed class times.
City Cave offers couples massage packages and experiences. As such many of their customers share
transportation to the premises. At peak capacity (12-3pm), it is anticipated this business will utilise 8
car parking spaces.

Carparking
There is currently 27 parking spaces available on the common property.
In addition, it is proposed to decommission the existing loading bay. Fitstop has not need for
deliveries. This will provide an additional 2 x parking bays for staff on site.
Noosa has a strong affiliation with active transport, particularly cycling. To encourage active transport
modes, 4-6 (space dependent) bicycle racks will be provided internally.
Of note, the Coolum branch includes internal bicycle parking. It is estimated that approximately 10 of
the clients utilise these facilities across the course of a single day.
If additional parks are required, there is ample room for future additional bicycle parking now that the
loading bay will be decommissioned.

Gibson Road provides an additional 11 street parking bays.
Given the proposed operational times, in the immediate vicinity there is capacity for up to 40 parking
spaces if required. Refer figures 1 and 2 below.
