 Traffic Related Supporting Information



Consistent with the Strategic Intent which seeks to prioritise a shift away from private car usage to alternative
transport options such as walking, cycling, the use of motorcycles and scooters and public transport, the
proposed development provides for:
          The provision of more than sufficient car parking to accommodate the number and type of traffic that
           will be generated by the medical centre, as is supported by the parking study information contained in
           this letter;
          The opportunity for customers and employees to utilise alternative transport options provided within
           the medical centre including the provision of:
              o     16 bicycle parking spaces;
              o     10 motorcycle/scooter parking spaces;
              o     End-of-trip facilities including eight (8) lockers and two (2) male and female showers and change
                    rooms.
          The opportunity for customers and employees to utilise the pedestrian and cycle pathway network
           established throughout the master planned and integrated Noosa Business Centre; and
          The opportunity for customers and employees to make good use of the proposed transport hub/bus
           interchange proposed to be developed by Noosa Council a short walk from the medical centre.


5          Parking Surveys

SLR Consulting Australia (SLR) commissioned Austraffic to conduct parking surveys at Medical Centres for two
typical weekdays between 9am and 1pm. It is noted that originally three sites where surveyed, however
historically Council raised concerns in relation to the representation of one of the sites, hence, this site has been
excluded from the following analysis:
          MC-A: Tewantin Medical Centre - 84 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin QLD, surveyed on Monday 1 and
           Tuesday 2 August 2022;
          MC-B: Marquesas On Peregia Medical Centre – 247 David Low Way, Peregian Beach QLD, surveyed on
           Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 August 2022.

To understand the existing parking demands at the above sites during their busiest periods, SLR reviewed Google
Analytics data and determined that Mondays and Tuesdays are typically the busiest weekdays. This finding also
aligns with SLR’s anecdotal experience for Medical Centres, as most are closed over weekends or operate with
reduced appointment availability, and therefore, demand is increased at the commencement of a new work
week for presentations. Additionally, the medical centres were selected specifically as they share similar
characteristics to the subject development. Table 2 (overleaf) provides a breakdown of these characteristics and
compares these to the Lot 22 proposal.
