class 2 buildings do not require PWD bays. The development proposed 1 PWD parking bay.

accommodation activity within a centre zone be provided at a rate of one motorcycle parking space per two
dwellings should be provided, a total of 48 spaces for the development. No motorcycle bays are provided as
part of the proposed development.

It is intended that 127 spaces will be assigned to residents within the basement level and 7 spaces allocated
to visitors at the ground floor level.

Residential spaces

The development proposed a total of 127 residential parking spaces a surplus of 19 spaces to the maximum
requirement in accordance with the Noosa Council Plan 2020 ‘Driveways and Parking Code’. This is
considered reasonable based on the following;

     motor vehicle garaged or parked at their address, 40.8% had two registered motor vehicles and 13.6%
     had three or more registered motor vehicles.
