SARA RFI - Traffic Engineering Report

The proposed parking supply exceeds the parking guidance in accordance with the planning scheme.

It is also noted that the proposed parking assessment is conservative as it hasn’t taken into consideration any
potential “internal” utilisation of the resort uses. That is, the proposed parking supply exceeds the
cumulative total of the Council requirements without application of any “discount” factors to take into
consideration hotel guests utilising the restaurants or function / auditorium.


  Information Request (16th March 2023) – Item 3(i.) & (iii.)

  The proposed plans have been updated to provided additional parking which satisfies Council’s parking guidance.




Persons with Disability

The Building Code of Australia (BCA) requirement for PWD parking is ‘1 per 100 spaces’, noting that the total
of four (4) PWD spaces provided are compliant with the BCA requirement.

Carpark management

The development plans include “boom gates” at the entry / exit of the car park. Whilst the details of the car
park management plan, including any policy relating to paid parking, are yet to be resolved, the primary
purpose of incorporating the boom gates controls into the development plan is to allow a validation system,
or similar, to be implemented such that the car park is used only by guests, staff and legitimate visitors to the
proposed development, and not by those not associated with the proposed development i.e. residents or
visitors to the multi – unit developments along Serenity Close.

  Information Request (16th March 2023) – Item 4

  The combination of the increased parking supply and the car park management validation system for guests, staff
  and visitors will ensure that the proposed development will not create any overflow parking onto the surrounding
  local street system.
