6.         PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

6.1        CAR PARKING

AO43/PO43 of the Low Impact Industry zone code, and AO11/PO11 of the Industry activities code require
that the proposed development provide car parking in accordance with Table 9.4.1.4 of the Driveways
and Parking code, or provide car parking that is sufficient to accommodate the number and type of
vehicles likely to be generated by the use on site.

It is noted that Table 9.4.1.4 of the Driveways and Parking code prescribes a car parking rate for a
Warehouse of one car parking space per 50m² of GFA (up to 500m²) and one motorcycle parking space
per 100m² or part thereof of use area.

The proposed development will have a total GFA of 293.10m2 and, therefore, is required to provide a
total of 5.86 carparking spaces and 2.93 motorcycle parking spaces on site.

However, it is noted that the subject site is an individual tenancy contained within an existing industrial
complex. The individual tenancies within the industrial complex are serviced by a central (common
property) car parking area.

Due to the piecemeal development of the site since the original approval issued by order of the Court
in 2001, it is noted that car parking provision across the entire site is no longer specifically allocated to
each of the individual tenancies.

Importantly, however, it is considered that there is sufficient car parking provided across the entire site
to accommodate for the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated by the proposed
development, as well as for the other previously approved development on site.

Specifically, it is noted that the original Court Order detailed the following car parking rates on site
which equated to a requirement for 78 car parking spaces on site:

     1667m2 existing industrial premises - 1 space per 50m2 = 33.34 spaces;
     198.6m2 additional industrial premises – 1 space per 50m2 = 4 spaces; and
     1269m2 bowling alley = 40.6 spaces.


The subject site maintains the required 78 car parking spaces on site.

Under the GIA (131999.983083.2) issued by Council in 2019 for the conversion of the western portion
of the bowling alley tenancy from Lazer Tag to 4 x new industrial tenancies, Council noted that the
changes to the site would result in a 44.3% reduction of bowling alley use area.

The GIA resulted in the 4 x new industrial tenancies maintaining 18 car spaces (e.g. 4.5 spaces for the
tenancy the subject of this application), with the remaining bowling alley maintaining a minimum of
22.6 car spaces. As such, a Performance outcome is sought for this application as the proposed
development requires 5.86 car parking spaces and 2.93 motorcycle parking spaces.
