Note: Advice from Council’s traffic consultant has suggested two different rates for the
Education use. Consequently, an average rate of about 16.7m² has been adopted,
which is considered reasonable.

As a result of the above car parking rates, the following car parking numbers are
generated for the various use areas:

It is accepted that the proposed development is substantial and provides for a number
of different uses, which operate concurrently. Further, it is possible to limit the use
areas for some of the uses, to ensure that adequate parking is provided. It is
acknowledged that there is some disparity between the number of car parks required
under Table 3 and Table 4.

Consequently, in order understand the current car parking demand on the premises, a
number of car parking surveys were undertaken. The more recent surveys being
undertaken while the development was mostly fully let.

4.7.2 Parking Survey

A review of the parking provided on site has been undertaken by RoadPro Development
(refer Attachment 3). A total of five (5) car parking surveys were undertaken
generally over a 15 month period.

The parking demand surveys were undertaken between 10am to 2pm on the following
days:
