Planning Report - 9 Kauri · MCU22/0144

4.4 Car parking
The Driveways and Parking Code Acceptable outcome AO6.1 seeks 1 space per small dwelling and
1 space per 4 dwellings (or part thereof) for onsite parking. This results in 10 covered spaces and
2.5 spaces rounded up to 3 spaces, 13 in total.


The proposal is providing 1 covered space per dwelling, 2 uncovered car spaces and 4 motorcycle
spaces for visitors. The 4 motorcycle spaces are in lieu of 1 visitor car (4 motorcycle spaces are
equivalent to the 1 car space). The Code does not seek motorcycle spaces for residential
development (other than in centre zones), however, given cost of living and affordability, motorcycles
are common in households and are used extensively in Noosa Shire.


While the motorcycle spaces could be removed and replaced with another car space, this reduces
LOS and does not contribute to a modal shift which Noosa Shire transport strategies support. It is
considered that 12 car spaces and 4 motorcycle spaces are sufficient for the intended residential
use and fully comply with the Driveway and Carparking Code and Noosa’s transport strategies.


4.5 Works Codes
The site would be connected to essential urban services including reticulated sewer, water, electricity
and NBN.

A SWMP is provided which indicates under driveway detention / storage and a bio basin
appropriately sized in the south east corner of the site to provide water quality in accordance with
relevant standards.

New tree species will be planted along the boundaries and between buildings to complement the
built form.

Earthworks on the site will be less than 1.5m of fill but cut on the high side of the western part of the
lot will be up to 2.5m. The cut will be terraced at 1m metre maximum to allow for landscaping on the
terraces. Engineering details are provided as part of the application documentation. Importantly all
retaining walls are setback from the boundary to allow sufficient space for landscaping to all
boundaries.

An erosion and sediment control plan has been provided to ensure no environmental damage occurs
during construction phase.

Turning paths are provided and demonstrate that B99 vehicles can enter and exit the site in a forward
gear.

A waste management plan prepared by Recor is provided and demonstrates that waste collection
and recycling can be in accordance with the Code. Residents are responsible for kerb side collection,
consistent with similar developments adjoining and nearby in Kauri Street.
