Traffic Matter 1 –Design of Tenancy Layout
Cardno conducted a review of the layout of the proposed car wash tenancy, including the following:
           > Manoeuvring through the operational area;
           > Interaction of the proposed tenancy with the surrounding car parking areas and pedestrian traffic;
           > Design of car parking spaces in reserved parking area.
Given the arrangement of the proposed tenancy, there is flexibility in the circulation between the parking and
operational areas, based on the following assumptions:
           > Order of Services
             - Washing, Vacuum, then Detailing
           > Washing Area gains access via both parking aisles
           > Vacuum Area gains access via northern parking aisle
           > Detailing Area gains access via Vacuum Area.
Cardno has identified the following four potential circulation paths:
           1.        Northern entry into Washing Area
                     a.    Forward exit (refer drawing 495623-SK01)
                     b.    Reverse exit (refer drawing 495623-SK02)
           2.        Southern entry into Washing Area
                     a.    Forward exit (refer drawing 495623-SK04)
                     b.    Reverse exit (refer drawing 495623-SK03)
A swept path analysis has been undertaken to demonstrate the suitability of the above circulation paths.
The swept paths show that a B85 design vehicle is able to safely and efficiently manoeuvre between and
through the parking and operational areas, with the necessary 300mm clearance as required by the Australian
Standards for Parking facilities Part 1: Off street car parking (AS2890.1:2004). The swept path drawings
(495623- SK01 – 04) can be found enclosed herein.
The vehicular access arrangements for the site have also been reviewed. Given the proposed tenancy will be
located within the centre car park, access will be gained via the existing parking aisles. The reserved parking
area will have pavement markings indicating the branded parking bays allocated to customers, whom simply
park in a drop-off bay and proceed to the reception area. It is noted that if the drop-off bays are at capacity,
the holding bays would be used for customer vehicle drop-off. These movements are not dissimilar to regular
car park operations. Given the above, the risk of queuing back through parking aisle is considered to be
minimal. Furthermore, any queueing would be remote from the car park circulation roads and external road
network.
The proposed tenancy is not anticipated to have any significant impact upon the operation or safety of the
surrounding car parking areas and pedestrian traffic.
The reserved parking area consists of eight existing parking spaces, which have been reviewed against the
Noosa Plan. In accordance with Noosa Plan Part 14 Division 13, car parking should be designed to the
standards of AS2890.1:2004, for a Class 3 parking facility. The eight existing parking spaces are designed as
follows:
           > Bay width:                 2.6m
           > Bay length:                5.4m
           > Parking aisle:             6.2m
These dimensions comply with the minimum requirements for Class 3 parking facilities.
Given the above, the layout of the proposed tenancy is considered to comply with the relevant design
guidelines, and is therefore considered to be appropriate.
