Quamby Place Car Parking Review
OGILVIE BACON PARTNERSlllP PTY LTD
April 2013
6. CONCLUSION
An assessment of the existing parking provision and transport accessibility modes was
undertaken for Quamby Place at Noosa Sound. Parking surveys were also
undertaken to determine the peak demand and utilization of car parking within and
surrounding the subject site to determine if an additional 158m2 of outdoor dining
space could be accommodated with regard to traffic and parking arrangements.
The results of parking demand surveys indicate that there is adequate parking
available for both the existing and proposed uses. Whilst under the existing Town
Planning requirements the site requires an additional 8 spaces to accommodate an
additional 158m2 of outdoor dining area, based on current car parking demand it is not
considered beneficial to increase the number of on-site car parking provision when it
is clear that parking availability within the area is conveniently provided and under
utilised.
It should also be noted that the site is well serviced by a range of alternative
transport modes, such as bus, ferry and cycling facilities and these should be
highly encouraged. As outlined in Council’s Sustainable Transport Strategy and
also the Active Transport Plan, providing mixed use land development, adjacent
to recreational facilities (the river, park and children’s playground) with
excellent access to alternative transport modes, ensures the economic
development and environmentally sustainable future for all to enjoy.
The current parking arrangements for the site are considered suitable and acceptable
for the proposed use and it is recommended that the site advertise the ferry and bus
timetables, improve bicycle parking facilities and provide greater encouragement and
incentives for patrons to use alternative modes of transport to access the site. This
strategy aligns with the Sustainable and also the Active Transport Policies recently
released by Council as the future direction of managing land use and also transport
and traffic on the Sunshine Coast.
