Referecence Document Traffic Engineering Assessment Report 22 March 2023 131998.98121.5

4          Parking Assessment
4.1        Council Requirements
Under the Noosa Planning Scheme, as the proposal is primarily for the purpose of accommodating School /
Group Camps, the land use is undefined.
As such, there is no applicable car parking provision requirement rate under the Planning Scheme and an
empirical assessment is provided.

4.2        Summary of Parking Demand from First Principles
The information contained in Section 3 of this report includes:
        School term:
          - Weekday Peak:            38 cars / 7 buses
          - Weekend Peak:            108 cars / NIL buses.
        School holidays:
          - Weekday Peak:            118 cars / 4 buses.
          - Weekend Peak:            108 cars / NIL buses.

4.3        Suitability of Parking Provision
The proposal includes the provision of 126 car parking spaces (88 formal / 38 informal), which meets the
anticipated needs of the development.
The use of informal parking is appropriate, noting that the Application seeks full use of the 299 beds and it
is unlikely that the site will be fully occupied at all times.
On a weekday during the school term, the anticipated parking demand of 38 cars can be readily
accommodated in formal parking bays.
Coach parking will be accommodated on the roadway directly in front of each Village. The buses will drive
forward and park on the roadway, in a nose-to-tail arrangement, first in / first out. This is fit for purpose,
noting that each of the loop roads operates independently and, as such, other users will not be affected
whilst the buses are parked for loading or unloading.
