                                                                               Traffic Engineering Report – 1723 Garnet


2         On-site Parking

The proposed development provides 9 parking spaces for the 1 x 3 bedroom and 3 x 2 bedroom
townhouse units. The parking spaces are arranged as shown in Figure 2, with each townhouse having a
double lock-up garage. There is one visitor space provided on site. There are no parking spaces
dedicated to PWD as this is a private car park.

The number of parking spaces accords with Noosa Council planning code minimum requirements.

The dimensions of the double lock-up garages comply with the minimum requirements of AS2890.1.
The dimension of the visitor car park space is 2.5m wide and 5.4m in length. This bay is adjacent to the
boundary fence and has therefore been provided with an additional clearance allowance for access to
the bay and to allow doors to be opened.

The width of the parking apron to the rear of the building provides for access and manoeuvring into and
out of the parking spaces as the swept path diagrams provided in Appendix B show.

The swept path diagrams show a reverse entry manoeuvre into all the garage bays and a forward entry
into the visitor bay. The exit from Bays 1A and 1B (in a forward direction) require a three point
manoeurve due to their proximity to the driveway entry. This is considered acceptable for a private
carpark. The remaining garage bays can be exited in a single forward manoeuvre. The visitor bay
requires a three point reverse manoeuvre to exit the bay. This is considered acceptable for a private
carpark.

Due to space limitations on-site, there is insufficient width on the apron for a vehicle to enter and leave
the site in a forward direction without the use of one of the parking bays. As this is a private carpark this
is considered acceptable.

There are no provisions for service vehicle loading/unloading on site. Council code does not require on-
site loading/unloading facilities for this type of land use. Service vehicle trip generation for this type of
land use is expected to be very low and it is expected that service vehicles will be able to park in the
street as required.

Waste collection services will do kerbside pickup of individual refuse and recycling bins and therefore no
property access is required for this service.
