             Car parking

             The planning scheme nominates the following minimum provision of car parking on the site:




             The consideration of this minimum provision is given in the table below for the proposed
             development:

              Use area                                       GFA/Use area                       Parking consideration
              Existing approved             use              85m2                               Nil
              area
              Proposed use area                              +100m2                             15m2 at 1 space per 20m2
                                                                                                and
                                                                                                85m2 at 1 space per 15m2

                                                                                                = 6.41 spaces

             It is not considered that car parking is essential for the proper functioning of the proposed addition
             to the existing use for the following reasons;

             1. The proposal is to add onto the existing development on the site and the existing use does
                not provide any on-site car parking.

             2. The site has a total area of 286 m2 with an existing use occupying 85 m2 of the western part
                of the site. The existing development on the site does not physically allow car parking to be
                provided within the site and to be able to enter and leave the site in forward gear.

             3. The 286 m2 site is positioned on a busy round-a-bout being the only entrance into Hastings
                Street and the main entrance into the Noosa National Park and First Point areas. The site is
                a corner site with public road also to the south which is used both for an active public carpark
                and for pedestrian and vehicle access into adjoining developments to the east. The provision
                of an access into the site through the existing garden bed in the road to the south is not
                considered desirable from a pedestrian, vehicular or even a visual amenity perspective.
