Issue – Carparking
It is unclear if sufficient carparking is provided on site for the proposed use.

Information Required

         2.        Please provide plans that detail the car parks for the proposed use. Further, please provide assessment
                   of the available car parking against the requirements of the Driveways and Carparking Code having
                   regard to operating hours and maximum users of the site at any given time. Please note that use area
                   does not exclude the toilets and reception area and that these must be included when determining car
                   parking requirements.

Response

         As the proposal involves the occupation of an existing building (Unit 3B) and with a minor internal modification
         of a small mezzanine of 12.5m2 to establish the use, no additional parking spaces were provided.

         Use area for the tenancy has been established at,

              •    Ground Floor - 82.7m2 which excludes the area of the staircase; and
              •    Mezzanine – 12.5m2

         Table 14-51 Minimum Vehicle parking requirements of the Noosa Plan Driveways and Carparking Code
         provides guidance on the minimum parking space requirements for the land-uses under consideration. Table
         1 below compares the Noosa Plans typical parking requirements based on the type and scale of the land-uses
         and the existing parking supply.

         The existing approval for the site being dated outlined the proposed and future uses on the sight as light
         industry. For comparisons sake and to make relevant to todays standard the use of Industrial Business Type 2
         has been considered when applying the relevant carparking rate.
