             7.2.2.3 Engineering Works Code


             The Planning Scheme details a carparking rate for Type 1 Food & Beverages of:


                       1 space per 20m2, or part thereof, of use area and outdoor dining area (excluding kitchen and
                       food storage areas)


             The proposal involves 158m2 of outdoor dining area which equates to 16 carparking spaces. No
             additional carparking is able to be    provided on site and the applicant has engaged a Traffic
             Engineer to assess carparking      requirements for the proposal a copy of which is included in
             Appendix   B. The traffic report concludes  that there is sufficient carparking within the surrounding
             area for the proposed use.



             The proposal is considered to meet the Specific Outcomes of the Driveways and                                   Carparking
             Code as detailed below:


                   Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely
                   to be generated by the development having regard to the specifics of the use including-


                   a) the type and intensity of land use;
                   The areas the subject of this application are located within Sound Park and provide and limited
                   outdoor dining areas in association with adjoining restaurant uses located in Q Place. The use is
                   limited to outdoor dining in a restricted and defined space in the park and represents 5% of the
                   actual land area of the park.


                   b) any existing parking available on the site;
                   No carparking is available within the park, however there is carparking available within Q Place
                   and within the road reserve around Quamby Place.


                   c) hours of operation;
                   The peak hours of operation are generally night time and weekends which do not coincide with
                   the peak times of the adjoining office uses in QPlace.


                   d) likely numbers of users;
                   The outdoor dining areas located in the park are limited in terms of size and therefore number of
                   users is restricted to the     approved dining areas.

                   e) the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; and
                   The outdoor dining areas located in the park are limited in terms of size and therefore number of
                   users is restricted to the     approved dining areas. It is noted that the proposed outdoor dining uses
                   do have peak periods which generally coincide with holiday seasons, however the peak use of
                   the premises generally relates to night time and weekend use which is when the office functions
                   of QPlace are not utilised, therefore freeing up carparking on site.


                   f) the availability of alternative carparking
                   Alternative parking is available on site in the form of scooter and bicycle parking on site.
                   Some on street carparking is available in Quamby Place and along Noosa Parade.


             7.2.2.6 Landscaping Code


             The  existing site is already well landscaped and                     the   applicant will       maintain     the   existing
             landscaped areas adjoining the outdoor dining.

As indicated in section 5 of this report, Council has approved and issued licenses to utilise the subject
areas of the park for outdoor dining since 1987. These outdoor dining areas have operated without

complaint until 2009 when a complaint was lodged with regard to loud music. As a result of investigations
into the complaint it was determined that a Management Plan was required to be prepared with regard to

If.
