Negotiated Report MCU21 0110.pdf

               Applicant’s request:

               Delete reference to ‘basement car park’ and the last sentence of the condition so it states:

               After hours access to loading docks and storage areas must be restricted by a security gate,
               lockable doors and/or other suitably appropriate means.

               Assessment of Representation

               The installation of a security gate to the basement is not required noting a time restriction has not
               been applied to when this area can be accessed. Amendment to condition 37 in the form proposed
               by the applicant is supported.

               Condition 51

               Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities

               Pedestrian and bicycle facilities must be provided for the development. The works must include in
               particular:

                      a. signage and lighting at strategic locations to direct people to building entries and public
                         toilet facilities;
                      b. a total of 53 bicycle parking spaces; and

                      c. end of trip facilities involving 27 lockers, 6 showers and change rooms within the
                         development.

               Applicant’s comments:

               It is requested that the requirement have regard to the location of the site, existing bicycle use and
               reasonable anticipated use upon completion of the development, having regard to the nature of
               the use being for luxury tourist accommodation.

               The current operational experience at Noosa Springs shows minimal demand for bicycle parking
               by staff or guests. Three (3) staff members currently use a bicycle to commute to work and up to
               another five (5) customers use a bicycle to travel to the fitness facilities each day. Existing bicycle
               parking allocations within the clubhouse grounds are adequate for that use. The other parts of this
               condition are acceptable.

               The provision of 53 spaces, either incorporating or in addition to the existing use, is considered
               excessive and unnecessary and out of proportion to the current use and expected demand. It is
               suggested a revised requirement of 20 bicycle spaces would be more than adequate having regard
               to the nature of the proposed use and existing facilities.

               Applicant’s request:

               Amend the condition to replace ‘53’ with a minimum of ‘20’ bicycle spaces to be provided.

               Assessment of Representation

               Whilst it is acknowledged that 53 bicycle spaces is a significant number and likely oversupply of
               the amount of bicycle spaces required the proposed reduction to 20 is considered excessive, a
               reduction to 30 bicycle spaces is supported.
