REPRESENTATIONS ON DECISION NOTICE

APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE - INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS TYPE 1
WAREHOUSE & TYPE 2 PRODUCTION, ALTERATION, REPACKAGING & REPAIRING AND
EDUCATION TYPE 3 — ADULT

26 EENIE CREEK ROAD, NOOSAVILLE
LOT 1 ON SP182880

Further to Council’s Decision Notice issued for the above development application and the applicants
subsequent suspension of the appeal period on 6 June 2008, the following representation about
conditions is made and a Negotiated Decision Notice requested.

Condition 11

Condition 11 requires the provision for a minimum 80 bicycle parking spaces (equivalent to 40 hoops) to
be provided. 11.1 requires this to comprise a minimum 50 class 2 staff spaces and 11.2 requires a
minimum 30 class 3 visitor spaces. This condition is considered to be unreasonable imposition on the
development, with the practicalities of achieving this outcome not properly considered.

The applicant’s traffic consultant Burchill VDM has provided the following advice:

Employee density for industry is typically in the range of 50sqm per employee. The proposal is for a total
GFA of 9,500sqm for light industry. On this basis, approximately 190 employees would be expected at
the site.

According to Census data for Noosa Shire, 7% of work trips are walk / cycle trips. This equates to 14
trips for the estimated employee base. Queensland Transport initiatives to encourage cycling are
providing a slow increase in use of this mode of transport. Taking these factors into consideration, a total
provision of 30 bicycle spaces would be appropriate for this development. This provision would be ample
for current and future staff use with bicycle parking spaces available for visitors also.

Notwithstanding this advice the applicant is still prepared to provide 40 bicycle parking spaces as
proposed with the application.

Class 2 spaces require locked compounds with communal access using duplicate keys. These compounds
should be fitted with a roof for increased security and weather protection. 11.1 effectively requires 4 —
5 spaces per building. Attached in Appendix A are some examples of secure bicycle compounds. It
appears that prefabricated compounds are for larger bicycle storage (ie minimum 10 bicycles) and as
such the compounds as required would need to be purpose built. To comply with standards for these

compounds they would need to be located visible from the central driveway. As such they would need
to be sited within the frontage landscape area (this would be acceptable under the Noosa plan as
landscaped area includes areas occupied by bicycle racks) or as a replacement for a carpark. These
secure compounds would result in a negative amenity impact upon the development.

Given that the layout of the development has very good casual surveillance and security supervision of
all carparking areas, it is considered appropriate that all bicycle parking spaces could be provided as
class 3.

Amendment of condition 11 is requested to reduce the total number of bicycle parking spaces to 40, to
be provided as class 3 and dispersed across the site.

Condition 12

Condition 12 requires the provision of a separate shower/change room/locker facility within each tenancy
of buildings B, C, D, I, H & G and common facilities comprising a minimum 6 unisex shower/change
room/locker within building K to service the remainder of the development. This results in the need for
19 shower/change room/locker facilities. This condition considerably exceeds the requirement of the
planning scheme and is considered an unreasonable imposition on the development.

The Driveways and Parking Code requires under $15.3 the provision of 1 shower/change room/tocker per
10 bicycle spaces provided. Having regard to existing condition 11, which requires 80 bicycle spaces,
only 8 shower/change room/locker facilities would be required. Having regard to our representation on
condition 11 above, only 4 shower/change room/locker facilities would be required.

The application provided for 7 shower/change room/locker facilities (comprising 3 female, 3 male and 1
unisex shower) within building K to service the entire development. Having regard to the Driveways
and Parking Code and condition 11 representation, this provision is more than adequate to service the
development. It is noted that the condition currently allows for buildings E & F to utilise the common
facilities within building K. These buildings are further away from the common facilities that buildings B,
C, D, 1, H & G which require separate individual facilities. On this basis there could be no argument that
the location of the proposed common facilities is not adequate to service the entire development.

Amendment of condition 12 is requested to delete the requirement for the provision of a separate
shower/change room/locker facilities within each tenancy of buildings B, C, D, I, H & G and provide for
common shower/change room/locker facilities within building k for a minimum of 7 shower/change
room/locker facilities.

Condition 13

Condition 13 requires a minimum roof pitch of 5 degrees to be provided to all buildings. While this
condition could be achieved, concern is raised that this will result in compromise to the proposed
building aesthetic and is not necessary to achieve roof form outcome O21 of the Noosaville Locality
Code.

Of the 11 proposed buildings, 3 have a 5 degree pitch, 1 curved and 7 have a 3 degree pitch. The
building designs and layout will ensure varied roof forms and interesting skyline throughout the
development as required by 021. The building form with a 5 degree roof pitch will remain generally the
same however the building volume and facade height will increase. Currently the scale, height and
proportion of the buildings are well balanced, resulting in a good aesthetic. Increasing the roof pitch to
5 degrees will compromise this aesthetic and not result in any marked difference or improvement in
achieving roof form outcome O21 of the Noosaville Locality Code.

Page 3

Amendment of condition 13 is requested to require minimum roof pitches in accordance with the
approved plans.

Condition 22

Condition 22 requires building K to remain in common property “to allow for research and development
facilities to support the industrial uses". This requirement is both irrelevant to and an unreasonable
imposition of the development. Building K will be utilised for both educational purposes and as common
meeting/gym facility. There has never been any proposal for this facility to be for “research and
development”. If the site is retained in a single ownership this condition would not create any
operational difficulties, however if the site is subdivided under a community titles scheme it would mean
that Building K had to remain under the ownership of the Body Corporate and could not be tet or sold on
a commercial basis. This places an unrealistic economic burden on the developer and brings into
question the financial feasibility and appropriateness of establishing this facility on the site. As detailed
with the application, the applicant has proposed this facility as a community benefit to relocate the
existing Noosa Community Training Centre currently existing elsewhere within the site and which will be
demolished as a result of other site development. It is essential for the inclusion of this facility to be
successful, that no restriction is placed on its titling ability. To ensure this facility can be utilised as a
common meeting/gym facility for the overall development the condition could be amended to require the
gym and toilet/shower facilities to be accessible at all times for use by other tenants, with the
conference/meeting facility available on a booking system managed by the education tenant.

Deletion of the requirement of condition 22 to remain in common property and reference to “research
and development facilities” is requested.

Condition 26

Condition 26 requires the driveway access connection to Rene Street to be a maximum width of 7m at
the property boundary. This requirement would result in the inability of the development to achieve
appropriate articulated vehicle access. Articulated vehicle access is considered necessary and required
by the planning scheme. The driveway crossover shown on the proposal plan is based on Barlow Gregg
VDM review of their Autoturn computer program. A drawing prepared by Barlow Gregg VDM showing
the articulated vehicle swept path is attached in Appendix B.

Amendment of condition 26 is requested to delete reference to a maximum width of 7m.

Condition 36

Condition 36.1 requires carspace 8 to be a dedicated turning area and 36.2 requires carspace 9 to be
dedicated as ‘staff’. Having regard to the layout plan and condition 36.2 which allows tandem staff
parking for carspaces 9 and 10, it would seem more appropriate to dedicate carspace 9 as a turning area
rather than carspace 8. This would achieve the same result in provision of a dedicated turning bay, but
would improve the carparking situation by removing the tandem staff arrangement of spaces 9 and 10.
Amendment of condition 36 is requested to require carspace 9 as the dedicated turning area.

Condition 37.3, 39.3, 41.2, 42.2, 44.4 & 46.3

Conditions 37.3, 39.3, 41.2, 42.2, 44.4 & 46.3 require the loading bays to be clear of the carparking
aisle. Upon review of the plans it is considered that this condition will have substantial design
implications upon the approved layout, is not necessary to comply with AS2890.2 and is therefore an
irrelevant and unreasonable imposition on the development.

The applicant's traffic consultant Burchill VDM has provided the following advice:

Page 4

Due to the type of land use, that is, light industry, it is anticipated that servicing will not be of such a
frequency to require loading areas separate to the car parking areas.

The Australian Standard for Parking Facilities Part 2: Off-street commercial vehicle facilities (AS2890.2)
provides guidance for service provisions. In Section 4 Service Areas, this document states the following:

The design of service areas must:
¢ Provide for the largest design vehicle likely to use the facility — in this case, a 12.5m HRV.
@ Aminor service area may be located on part of the internal roadway system at the site provided
the occasional obstruction to other traffic by manoeuvring trucks can be tolerated.

Taking into account that the service areas will not be heavily utilised, and that these areas have been
designed with sufficient manoeuvring area, it is considered that these fall under the classification of a
‘minor service area’. Furthermore, the time for service vehicles manoeuvring into the loading bays would
not involve a long period. Hence, the period of obstruction to traffic, based on the proposed layout,
would be very short.

Taking these factors into consideration, the proposed service arrangements comply AS2890.2 and are
considered appropriate for the site.

Deletion of conditions 37.3, 39.3, 41.2, 42.2, 44.4 & 46.3 is requested.

Condition 60

Condition 60 requires the submission of a report prepared by an ecologist that assesses the impacts of
the revised Stormwater Management Plans on the downstream ecologically sensitive areas. Given that
the proposed revised Stormwater Management Plans will have the same water quality objectives as the
original Stormwater Management Plan, which has been accepted by Council and assessed by an
ecologist, this requirement is unnecessary and therefore an irrelevant imposition of the development.
Deletion of condition 60 is requested.

We look forward to Councils further consideration of these matters and to the issue of a negotiated
decision notice.

Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.

Yours faithfully
