Dear Sirs

VIRIDIAN NOOSA: 5 MORWONG DRIVE, NOOSA HEADS
USE OF VILLAS AND APARTMENTS FOR PERMANENT ACCOMMODATION

BACKGROUND

This report addresses the traffic engineering implications of the proposed use of 24 of the villas and 14 of the
apartments within the development at 5 Morwong Drive, Noosa Heads for permanent accommodation rather
than visitor accommodation.

By permanent accommodation, what is meant is either short-term, semi-permanent or permanent basis.
In my opinion, the change would result in the units being utilised in one of the following ways:

e by persons residing permanently on the site,

e by persons permanently residing elsewhere, but utilising the units exclusively for their own recreational
activities,

e by persons permanently residing elsewhere, but utilising the units for their own use and for use by their
invitees, OF

e by persons permanently residing elsewhere, and renting the units to holidaymakers whenever possible.

| have personal knowledge of people who operate their unit on the Sunshine Coast in accordance with bullet
points 2 and/or 3.

Itis understood that research by KPMG suggests that not more than 3 of the 38 units involved in this matter
would be likely to be permanently occupied.

in those circumstances, the total traffic flows generated by the 38 units available for permanent accommodation
would be similar to or less than the traffic generated by the same number of units used for visitor
accommodation. Accordingly, the sole traffic-related issue in the matter is considered to be the adequacy of
the available on-site parking spaces.

The relevant Planning Scheme parking requirements are as follow:

permanent units: 2 covered parking spaces per unit plus one additional space per 4 units (for visitors);
visitor accommodation: 4 parking space per unit plus one additional space per 10 units (for visitors).
