Planning Report and plans

7. Suitability of Subject Site for a Gym

TTM acknowledge that the Council parking requirement for a gym is higher than the implied parking
requirement for Unit 5 shown in Table 2. However, it is noted that the peak parking demand of 41 spaces is
significantly below the implied parking requirement for all occupied units of 78 spaces.

Table 4 shows the surveyed parking demand at peak gym and site times. The surveyed parking rate has then
been applied to Scenario D to determine parking demand and car park occupancy for all units except Unit 5.

Table 4 shows that with Units 7 and 9 occupied, with similar uses to existing businesses within site, site parking
demands will not significantly change from surveyed parking demands. Table 5 shows the site parking
availability with the gym based on Table 3 and 5 during peak gym/site operating times.

* Based on 85th percentile number of patrons on-site at key operating times.

Based on parking surveys of the subject site on a peak gym day and Council parking requirements, Table 5
shows that the site is expected to have a minimum of 16 spaces (17% of total supply) available with full
occupation of the site including the gym.

The primary site use is an employment centre for industrial land. The parking surveys have identified significant
parking availability at all times of the day. With this parking availability, the proposed gym/recreational use
can operate on site, however this must remain a secondary use. It is therefore TTM’s opinion that the subject
