Point 14 Demonstrate how each accommodation unit will have an accessible car space at all
times, given that 16 of the 23 residential parking spaces are proposed in tandem.

The proponent has reiterated that a 24 hour concierge service i.e. with valet parking will
be provided in relation to the visitor accommodation. As such, the concierge staff will
have access to all vehicle keys within the visitor accommodation parking spaces, and
will be aware of, and able to respond to, requirements to temporarily move vehicles for
egress.

Point 15 Demonstrate how an appropriate number of parking spaces will be accessible at all
times for customers of the commercial tenancies.

The Traffic Impact Assessment report, Section 3, cites the calculations of required and
proposed provision which remain unchanged except for the net reduction of 1 car space
(see Point 19 below for details). This shows that there is an overall requirement for 59
car spaces which is now met by a total provision of 67 spaces (plus 2 valet spaces).
The required figure has been attained from consideration of cross-utilisation of parking
for the commercial tenancies i.e. that a proportion of trips will make use of more than
one of the retail frontages. Additionally, since the original Traffic Impact Assessment
report, the proposed areas for retail and food and beverage have reduced slightly to
454sq.m and.217sq.m respectively.

Also, the proponent has stated that during the hours of operation of the frontage
tenancies, the security gate will remain open. It is also noted that there will be a 24 hour
concierge service in place, associated with the visitor accommodation, should ‘out of
usual business hours’ egress be required from the car park although such late parking
behaviour would be discouraged.

Point 19 Demonstrate how vehicles can pass at the two internal 90 degree corners of the access
driveway. The vehicle paths and vehicle sizes shall be in accordance with AS/NZS
2890. 1:2004.

It is recognised that within an AutoTURN assessment of vehicle movements at the
internal corners described above there is a conflict between passing vehicles of B85
and B99 size.

However, owing to the overall capacity of the car park and the traffic volume likely, it is
considered that the practice of giving way by drivers to oncoming vehicles is safe and
suitable for this development. The layout closely matches standards adopted by
Brisbane City Council for car parks of two-way traffic up to 100 vehicles per hour, The
proposed operation is in light of a modification to the parking bays (described as Small
Car bays 9 and 16 in the previous submission) to convert these bays to motorcycle bays
(shown at Appendices A and C). The result of this modification is additional radii at the
corners to further aid vehicle movements with the additional intervisibility as a result of
the space in front of the motorcycle bays.

Furthermore, the stone partition wall has been reduced in length to provide further
intervisibility between the two main parking aisles.

The modification of bays described above has the net effect of a loss of 1 car bay
provision i.e. two car bays have been replaced with four motorcycle bays. However
within the Traffic Impact Assessment report this net loss is considered acceptable,
owing to the demonstrated requirement of 59 spaces being met by the now proposed 67
spaces.
