4          Noosa Shire Council Planning Context

4.1        Noosa Plan 2006 Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions

The Development Application has been lodged pursuant to the provisions of the now superseded Noosa Plan
2006 (Superseded Planning Scheme).

Within Table 14-50 Carparking and manoeuvring of the Superseded Planning Scheme, Specific Outcome 07
states the following:

’07 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.’

The Probable Solution listed for Specific Outcome 07 is as follows:

‘S7.1 The number of parking and loading bays is not less than the minimum number specified in Table 14-51
Vehicle Parking Requirements.’

The minimum vehicle parking requirements as per Table 14-51 is as follows:
          Type 2 Medical: 1 space per 20m2, or part thereof, of use area; OR
           3 spaces per medical practitioner whichever is the greater.

As S7.1 is a ‘Probable Solution’, it isn’t a mandatory requirement. Provided it can be demonstrated that the
number of car parking spaces provided will be sufficient to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely
to be generated by the development. This letter aims to provide an evidence base to inform Stockwell’s MCA
for a modest reduction in the conditioned parking provision.

4.2        Noosa Plan 2020 Strategic Intent for Transport

Part 3 of the current planning scheme, the Noosa Plan 2020 (The Plan), the Strategic Framework, describes the
policy direction for the planning scheme and establishes the foundations for ensuring appropriate development
occurs in the planning scheme area. Within this framework, the Strategic Intent for Transport is established,
which states the following:

‘The Noosa Transport Strategy includes principles for the short to medium term to prioritise the movement of
people and goods rather than cars. Infrastructure and services that provide for pedestrians, cyclists, motor
scooters and public transport will be the most immediate focus, as well as attention towards new and emerging
solutions for the longer term. Transport options will take into account the needs of residents and employees as
well as visitors.’
