Original Application Part 5 - Traffic Impact Assessment Report [As Published] · 132008.1787

Seahaven Resort, C Cardno

Noosa Heads, Traffic Impact Assessment Eppell Olsen

 

There are 41 spaces proposed for the frontage tenancies and within the Noosa Planning
Scheme Policy 26 (Motorcycle & Motor Scooter Parking) the requirement for motorcycle
parking is 1 motorcycle space per 10 car parking spaces or part thereof. The further
reallocation of car to motorcycle spaces described above would meet motorcycle requirements
sufficiently.

Its net effect on the proposed car parking quantum would be the removal of two car spaces,
and provision of 4 or more motorcycle spaces (which provides a credit value of 1 car space)
resulting in an overall equivalent car parking provision of 67 spaces (plus 2 valet drop-off
spaces) compared to the effective requirement of 59 spaces as detailed in Section 3.4.
Therefore it is considered that the further allocation of motorcycle described above is suitable
for this development.

3.7 Servicing

Servicing of the frontage retail/dining and the serviced residential units will be by way of on-
street loading from a proposed loading zone adjacent to the site on Hastings Street. As with
existing practice, there will be no internal loading bays.

A possible location for this loading zone would involve the relocation of the existing build-out
located at the eastern end of the development site to assist in refuse collection. In practical
terms, should construction of the proposed development proceed, it is likely that a temporary
removal of the build-out will be required to allow construction access and to protect the build-
out materials.

3.8 Car Park Layout

The layout of the car park allows for two-way movement of vehicles by provision of 6.2m aisle
widths. There is a proposed turning area to allow the 3-point turn of vehicles. This is located
at the end of the proposed retail section of parking as parking beyond this point will be
reserved for residents and staff. Appendix B shows suitable vehicle tracks demonstrating the
manoeuvres.

The provision of tandem bays is exclusively for staff and for the valet service residents parking
area at the end of the car park aisle and will be signed accordingly so as not to be used by the
public.

The parking spaces are suitably dimensioned in length and width at above 5.4m x 2.6m
(except for 2 “small car” spaces which are 2.4m wide and will be set aside either for staff use
or motorcycle parking). Structural columns are not located within the parked vehicle
envelopes thereby allowing appropriate access to vehicles. The layout is therefore considered
suitable.
