                                                              Good Shepherd Lutheran College
                                                                                    Noosaville
                                                                                     June 2020



Therefore, the total parking within the site is 255 car parking spaces (including
disabled), 8 pick‐up / drop‐off spaces and 15 pre‐prep car parking spaces. This exceeds
the requirement of Noosa Council’s planning scheme. The parking supply also
complies with TMR’s short and long term parking requirement. To meet TMR
recommendations in regard to pick‐up/set‐down a further 7 pick‐up/drop off spaces
would be needed, this has been addressed in Section 7 of this report.

As outlined in Section 2.5 the overall parking supply for the College of 255 car parking
spaces meets the required demand. Providing 153 secure staff spaces aligns with the
all‐day parking demand for the College and provides some flexibility for an increase in
senior students who may wish to drive to school during the later part of Year 12.



4.2    Survey Data Comparative Analysis

An assessment of the recorded parking occupancy with the approved car parking and
required parking is provided in Table 9.

           Table 9 – Car Parking Comparison P‐12 (excluding Childcare)
 Source                                         Car Parking Requirement
 Noosa Council Planning Scheme                             168
 TMR School Infrastructure Guidelines               167 + 15 drop/off
 Current Provision                                   203 + 8 drop/off
 Survey Data Maximum Demand (PM)                           242
 Proposed Provision                                  255 + 8 drop off

The proposed number of car parking spaces provided for the College complies with
Council and TMR requirements, however further investigation is required to ensure
the management and arrangements for drop off and pick up of students is suitable,
safe and meets the demand. Please refer to discussions outlined in Section 5,6 and 7
of this report which addresses this issue.
