  This Planning Scheme Policy is based on the findings and recommendations of Parking

  1.       Council may accept contributions in lieu of on-site parking in some
           circumstances

  1.1      Without limiting its powers under section 3.5.30 of the /ntegrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA),
           Council may accept monetary contributions in lieu of on-site parking in the following
           circumstances—

           a)    the proposed development is within a central area identified by dark shading on Map 1
                 to Map 9; and

           b)    the property is within the Visitor Mixed Use Zone, Business Centre Zone,
                 Neighbourhood Centre Zone or Village Mix Zone of The Noosa Plan;

           c)    the use generating the parking requirement is not a Residential Use;

           d)    the premises are physically constrained such that, in Council's opinion, it is not
                 feasible to provide the full amount of parking on-site;

           e)    improved local public transport, pedestrian or cycle network is more desirable than
                 additional car parking spaces; or

          f)     where, in Council's opinion, it is in the community interest to provide the parking off-
                 site. This may include where access to the site is significantly constrained or access
                 is undesirable because of character reasons.

  2.       Council may not accept contributions in lieu of on-site parking in some
           circumstances
           Without limiting its powers under section 3.5.30 of the /PA, Council may not accept monetary
           contributions in lieu of on-site parking in the following circumstances—

           a)    the immediate creation of a shortfall in parking would result in traffic hazards or traffic
                 problems in the area; or

           b)    where the accumulated funds cannot be expended within a reasonable period of time
                 to serve the parking or public transport needs of the locality: or

                                                                                         Page 71 of 112
