 Response to Council Information Request Item 12-15



Item 13

Visitor parking for childcare centres would be user class 3A, requiring either wider parking spaces or a wider
parking aisle to comply with AS/NZS2890.1-2004.

To inform Council’s assessment the following response is provided:
     •     Refer to Section 4 of the updated TIS which provided details in relation to the selection of parking user
           class.

Item 14

The basis of the proposed relaxation in Council’s parking requirement for childcare centres is not supported.
There is no overflow parking available in the street, so the implications of not having sufficient on-site parking
is heightened. In addition, it is noted that the 15 staff is based on the statutory requirement for the number
of children based on their age groupings. There will also be a director, and a cook at the very least in addition
to the 15 educators. Modify the proposal to comply with Council’s parking requirements.

To inform Council’s assessment the following response is provided:
     •     Refer to Section 5 of the updated TIS which has been expanded to include further consideration of
           parking provision beyond that previously documented including surveys of comparable childcare
           tenancies.

Item 15

In the current proposal the only means of moving between cars in the carpark and the front door of the centre
is via the parking aisle and the shared space beside the disabled parking bay. That is not an appropriate
solution for a childcare centre from a movement safety perspective. Amend the proposal to include a pathway
between the carpark and the building, with users of those parking spaces having direct access to that pathway,
and visitor spaces being nominated in those spaces that nose up to the pathway.

To inform Council’s assessment the following response is provided:
     •     The design has been amended to include a linkage between the carpark and the building, with users
           of those parking spaces having direct access to that pathway, and visitor spaces being nominated in
           those spaces that nose up to the pathway.



Yours sincerely
