Summary
Cardno has investigated the potential traffic matters associated with a proposed car wash tenancy located at
Noosa Civic Shopping Centre. This document investigated the following potential traffic matters relating to the
tenancy:
           >    Design of tenancy layout;
           >    Impact on existing centre parking supply
           >    Additional parking demand generated by the tenancy;
           >    The potential for the additional traffic generated by the proposed tenancy to impact upon the
                operation of the external road network;
Investigation of the traffic matters relating to the tenancy have established the following:
           > The recommended circulation for the proposed tenancy is considered to minimise the traffic impact
             on the other parking areas
           > The traffic layout of the proposed tenancy is considered to comply with the relevant design
             guidelines, and is therefore considered to be appropriate;
           > With a net loss of 14 spaces, the overall centre will still provide for an additional 264 spaces and
             456 spaces above customer demand, during the Thursday and Saturday peak periods respectively.
             This is not considered to have a significant impact on the existing parking demand at Noosa Civic
             Shopping Centre.
           > The car parking demand for the proposed car wash tenancy would predominantly be driven by
             existing Noosa Civic customers as part of a multi-purpose trip, therefore, the proposed car parking
             arrangements (i.e. no new car parking spaces provided) are considered to be appropriate;
           > The proposed car wash tenancy is anticipated to generate an additional 8vph internally, which is
             insignificant and therefore will not significantly impact the operation of the internal car park.
Based on the above findings, it is Cardno’s opinion that the inclusion of the car wash tenancy will not generate
adverse impacts and therefore, should not be refused on traffic matters.
