Response to Sunshine Coast Regional Council Information Request

 

5.2 Design/Layout

The design and layout of the car park, servicing areas and access roads have been
amended to reflect Council’s suggestions in points 62 and 63 of the Information Request.

§.2.1. Servicing and Car parking areas

Car parking and servicing areas have generally been kept separate in the proposed
development layout. The exception is the loading area for the Residential Aged Care
building; there are a small number of low turnover, staff carparks located near this area. As
these parks are designated for staff only, this arrangement is appropriate from a traffic
engineering viewpoint.

5.2.2 Turnaround facilities
Turn around facilities have been provided in accordance with AS2890.1 in all blind aisle
location. :

5.3 Disabled Parking

 

According to AS2890.1:1993, 1-2% of parking bays should be designated for occupants with
disabilities. Considering the nature of this development, at least 2% of bays should be
designated as disabled bays, with disabied parking provided for each of the separate uses
within the development.

5 bays have been provided for disabled parking on site. These include:
* 2 bays for the Residential Aged Care;
* 1 bay for the Central Facilities; and
« 2 bays for the Independent Living Unit Apartments.

5.4 Sightlines

 

The figures included as Appendix G indicate typical sightlines available for cars reversing
from the Independent Living Unit villa driveways. Figure 3.2 of AS2890:1 identifies a
required sight distance of 30m for domestic property access with a frontage road speed of
40km/nhr. it is unlikely that speeds of 40km/hr will be reached on the internal road network of
the development; therefore, sight distances of 30 metres would be more than adequate. The
figure indicates that, due to the setback of the villas from the circulation roadway, adequate
sightlines are available for vehicles reversing from the driveways.
