     All classes are 50 minutes in length and will have a minimum of 15min break between each class. The
     applicant is in agreement if Council wishes to include this as a condition of approval.

3.   The application provided for Councils assessment is for both a Code application with a consistent use being
     applied for.

     Within the Noosa Plan – Division 13 – Driveways and Carparking Code, Specific Outcome 07 details,

     Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated
     by the development having regard to the specifics of the use including—

         a) the type and intensity of land use;
         b) any existing parking available on the site;
         c) hours of operation;
         d) likely numbers of users;
         e) the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; and
         f) the availability of alternative carparking

     Probable Solution (if code assessment) S7.1 details,

     The number of parking and loading bays is not less than the minimum number specified in Table 14-51
     Vehicle Parking Requirements;

     Table 14.51 provides the following Vehicle Parking requirements for Entertainment and dining business -
     Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness,

     1 space per 20m2, or part thereof, of use area; OR
     1 space per 3 persons capable of being entertained at any one time, whichever is the greater

     Utilising the above table the following applies,

     122m2 Use Area = 6.1 carparking spaces required, or

     11 patrons = 3.6 carparking spaces required.

     The above calculations demonstrate that with the existing use credits of 6 parking spaces at worst it would
     be deemed to be a shortfall of.1 of a carparking space.

     If you were to calculate utlising the spaces required per persons, it is clearly demonstrated there is more
     than sufficient parking available.

     The following must be recognised and considered within any carparking assessment as it relates directly
     to the Specific Outcome 07 requirement,

         •    The proposed use is not an intensive land use, up to a maximum of 11 persons attending if
              maximum numbers are achieved. It is proposed that all classes are to have a minimum 15 minute
              break between each class. This time allows no overlapping so that carparking requirements would
              not be exceeded.
         •    It would be expected that a number of patrons to the classes would take the opportunity to either,
                   o Car pool with friends who are attending the same class,

                          o    Utilise the public transport options available of the Noosa Transit Centre and taxi ranks
                               to attend the classes,
                          o Arrive by walking or bicycle with large numbers of bicycle provision within the area.
                 •   The proposed class times are not during peak parking times or retail uses that are occurring within
                     the Lanyana Way precinct.
                 •   Within close proximity there is a large availability of alternative parking for both scooters and cars
                     that are readily available and not in peak demand during proposed class times.


This ends my client’s response to matters raised by Council within their information request. We ask that Council
proceeds with assessment of the application.

We look forward to Council processing the application at its earliest convenience. Do not hesitate to contact myself
personally if you have any questions.

Kind Regards,
