4          Design Considerations
The design of internal car parking and circulation facilities has been reviewed against the relevant requirements
of Council’s planning scheme and/or the AS2890 suite of Australian Standards as summarised within Table 3.

The results of the design compliance assessment presented in Table 3 confirms that the proposed design of the
off-street car parking area is in compliance with relevant design standards. Importantly, user class 3 has been
applied to determine the visitor parking spaces design on the following grounds:
     •     User class 3A is reserved for short term, high turnover parking that typically occurs all day, such as
           what’s experienced at shopping centres;
     •     User class 3 is reserved for short term parking such as what occurs at medical centres. This description
           better aligns with Childcare centre parking characteristics as there’s typically two peak parking periods
           during parents pick up/drop off and outside of these times, visitor parking demand remains relatively
           low.

Further to the above, a wider than required parking aisle under User class 3 is proposed to improve visitor
parking manoeuvrability and reduce periods of congestion.
