                (vi)        the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; and
                (vii)       the availability of alternative car parking; and
            (b) is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles and motorcycles likely to be
                generated by the development.

Aerial photographs of the NYRC are provided in Figures 1 to 6. These images are taken from March 2021 to
November 2021. For historical reference, an aerial from September 2015 is also included. As demonstrated in
the aerials, as well as in Table 1 below, consistently there are numerous spaces available for the parking of
vehicles or marine craft at the NYRC.

The aerials demonstrate that there is sufficient parking for the type and intensity of land use, and therefore
demonstrates compliance with PO6 of the Driveways and Parking Code.

Reiterating the information contained within the planning report submitted to Council (as part of the Minor
Change development application), the results of the survey undertaken by the NYRC demonstrate
compliance with PO6 of the Driveways and Parking Code:

        Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club undertook a survey (powered by SurveyMonkey) to understand
        patron travel/transport behaviour. The survey was conducted over a 6 week period from 13
        September to 25 October 2021 with an excellent 181 responses to 4 survey questions. The survey
        results are provided as Appendix B.

        In summary, 65% of patrons use alternate transport modes, being carpooling, ride share,
        walk/bicycle and public transport as shown below in Figure 3. The transport behaviour of patrons to
        the club by alternate means of transport significantly reduces the demand for car parking. To put
        this into context, 40m² of use area, using a 1 per 20m² calculation, 2 car spaces are required.
        However, only 35% of the customers are using single vehicle trips, which means a demand of 0.7
