 NSC Information Request                                                                                      Date: 20 May 2022
 Response to Traffic Matters



     ii.   “Additionally, the location of the subject site within the broader Noosa Business Centre means that a
           significant portion of development-generated trips are likely to be linked with other uses, therefore
           reducing parking demand and spreading it across the existing parking areas proximate to the subject
           site.”

In relation to the two grounds identified in the SLR memo:

      i.   It is understood that the proponent is not proposing to deliver the multi-modal transport hub.

     ii.   While it is agreed that there will be linked trips with other uses at the Noosa Business Centre, all that
           means is that the overall traffic generation rate of the centre on a GFA basis reduces as the size of the
           centre increases, it does not mean that parking demands associated with the proposal will reduce. It
           simply means that some customers will park for longer in the same parking space while they
           undertake other activities at the Centre. The customers and staff of the proposed development will
           still generate the same parking demands.

Information Required

2.         Provide parking provisions consistent with planning scheme requirements.

To inform NSC’s assessment of the application, the following clarifications are provided:

Further justification for the provision of 99 parking spaces is provided through a ‘First Principles’ approach. Table
1 below provides a representative breakdown of tenancy type, along with their corresponding tenancy GFA and
total number of medical practitioners (MP). Whilst the scale and nature of each tenancy will ultimately be
subject to market demands SLR has been advised that there is an inter-relationship between the tenancies that
means that achieving a mix similar to the representative breakdown is quite likely to occur in practice. Further,
due to the typical nature of specialists practicing from more than one location, an Occupancy factor has been
provided.
