4.              Vehicle Parking Arrangements
4.1.            Car Parking Supply
Council parking requirements for this type of development are identified in Table 4.1. The
town planners on the project, Project Urban, have advised that NSC identifies separate parking
for the service station and shop components of vehicle uses and a 50/50 split of GFA is used.

Table 4.1: Parking Supply Requirement

 Land Use                          Council Requirement        Extent        Requirement   Provision
 Vehicle Uses
          Shop                    1 space/20m2 GFA         97.5m2 GFA           5
                                                                                             36
          Service Station         5 spaces minimum         97.5m2 GFA           5
 Food and Beverage                 1 space/10m2 use area   255m2 use area       26

 Total                                                                          36           36

The above parking supply is to include PWD parking in parking areas. The general Council
requirement is a minimum of 1 PWD space per 100 standard spaces. As such, 1 PWD (Class 4)
parking space is required.

The requirement of 10 parking spaces for the service station is considered high as
approximately 50% of the parking demand will come from cars stopped at the bowsers. This
results in an overall practical parking demand of 31 parking spaces. Further parking demand
reductions may occur where customers of the fast food facility also use the service station.

The development proposal includes the number of parking spaces required by Council. An
overflow area for truck, caravan and cars with trailers parking is provided on the western side
of the lot. The overall parking provisions are therefore considered suitable. The parking
provision will also be considered suitable if the number of formal spaces in the main parking
areas reduces to 31 through the detailed design process.

4.2.            Motorcycle and Scooter Parking Supply
For the proposed land uses, Planning Scheme Policy 26 applies. This Policy requires 1
motorcycle/scooter parking space per 10 standard parking spaces required. As the
development requires 36 parking spaces, 4 motorcycle/scooter parking spaces should be
supplied.

The development provides 4 motorcycle/scooter spaces which is compliant with this Policy.

4.3.            Car Park Layout
Table 4.2 identifies the characteristics of the proposed parking area with respect to the Council
requirements. The last column identifies the compliance of each design aspect. Where
compliance with Council is not achieved, further information is provided below.
