                                                    Proposed Medical Development, Noosaville
                                                                 Medicentre Properties Pty Ltd

8.1    Compliance with Noosa Council Requirements

An assessment of the required parking spaces has been undertaken in accordance with
the Table 14-51 Minimum Parking Requirements of the Noosa Plan. Car parking
requirements and provisions are summarised in Tables 5.

                Table 5 – Parking Requirements and Provision
     Type of     Council Parking   GFA     Parking       Parking Provided
  Parking Space   Requirements             Required
     Medical       1 per 20m2      2,470     124                 125
                      GFA                             (incl. 4 disabled spaces)

In summary, the parking provision is considered adequate for the site and complies
with Council requirements.


8.2    Compliance with Australian Standards AS2890.1

A detailed assessment of the car parking arrangements has been undertaken. All car
parking spaces (except disabled car parking bays) are a minimum of 2.6m wide and
5.4m long, with an aisle width of 6.2m. The proposed design complies with the
requirements for User Class 3 and 1A parking.

Clause 3.3 of AS2890.1 includes requirements for gradients of access driveways. The
grade for the access driveway from the road frontage (kerb) to the property boundary
is a maximum of 1 in 20 (5%). The proposed access meets the requirements for access
driveways.

The proposed 4 disabled parking spaces comply with the requirements of
AS2890.6:2009. The service bay is 7m long and 3.5m wide complying with the
minimum requirements.

Clause 2.5.3 of AS2890 refers to grades on straight roadways and ramps. For a ramp
up to 20m long the maximum gradient is 1 in 5 (20%) on the condition that grade
transitions are provided. The gradient on the ramps leading into the basement car park
is 16.7% (1 in 6) with 2m long 12.5% (1 in 8) grade transitions, complying with
current requirements.

Clause 3.2 of AS2890.1 provides a methodology for establishing the appropriate
driveway width based on the land use, number of parking spaces and the road
hierarchy. For a class 4 car parking facility with over 100 car parks on an arterial
road, it is recommended that the driveway be constructed to a width of 6m minimum
for entry and 6m for exit. The proposed development has provided driveways on
Goodchap Street 6.0m in width. Access driveways comply with current requirements.
