Traffic Impact Statement - 7 Woodland Drive, Peregian Beach · MCU23/0008

8. Conclusions
Based on this traffic impact statement, the following can be concluded:

   1) The site has convenient access to Bus route 620 (Noosa Heads to
       Maroochydore) with bus stops in both directions located within approx. 200m (2-
       minute walk). A paved footpath is available from the subject site to the bus stops
       on David Low Way. Also, David Low Way includes a formal cycleway on both
       sides.
   2) The proposal has a statutory parking requirement of 23 car spaces, 5 motorcycle
       spaces and 10 bicycle spaces. The development provides a total of 17 car
       spaces, 4 motorcycle spaces and 10 bicycle spaces. The proposed parking
       provisions include a shortfall of 6 car spaces and 1 motorcycle space against the
       Noosa Plan requirements. As such, dispensation is sought as a part of this
       application for 6 car spaces and 1 motorcycle space.
   3) Application of the parking rate provided for commercial uses within the RMS
       Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (TfNSW, 2002) to the proposed
       development leads to a requirement of 11 car spaces. The proposal provides a
       total of 16 car spaces for office use – which considerably exceeds the relevant
       requirement under the parking rate provided in the RMS Guide. As such, the
       proposed on-site parking provisions for the office component are considered
       adequate in this instance. It is noted that the site has convenient public transport
       accessibility which offers those accessing the site an alternative option to private
       vehicle trips. Further, the site has access to many time unrestricted on and off-
       street parking spaces on Rufous Street. As such, in case of parking demand
       overspills, they can be readily accommodated within the local area without
       exhausting the overall parking availability in the area.
   4) The proposed car parking design achieves compliance in relation to the relevant
       design standards. The swept path results reveal generally satisfactory levels of
       maneuverability for the vehicles accessing the proposed car spaces.
   5) The proposed driveway location complies with the relevant requirement in AS
       2890.1.
