It is anticipated that approximately 32 medical practitioners will practice out of the Medihub facility. To
determine the parking demand that the above tenancy characteristics will generate, Table 6 below has been
provided which describes the number of medical practitioners expected to be at the facility at any one time
(adjusted with the Occupancy Factor), plus it applies a rate of 3 parking spaces per medical practitioner to
determine an updated and realistic ‘first principles’ parking demand.

                                Total                32                        26                                78

The resultant total number of parking spaces required based on a ‘first principles’ approach equates to
approximately 78 parking spaces. As the building now has confirmed tenants for approximately 76% of the total
leasing area, SLR have applied a factor of safety of 10% to allow for the remaining 24% of tenancies that are
unconfirmed. Hence, the calculated first principles parking demand for the Medihub facility, inclusive of a 10%
factor of safety, is 86 spaces.

Council’s superseded planning scheme describes the minimum vehicle parking requirements for a Commercial
business, Type 2 – Medical as ‘1 space per 20m2, or part thereof, of use area; OR 3 spaces per medical practitioner
whichever is the greater’. As per SLR’s Traffic Impact Statement dated 16 March 2022, applying the ‘1 space per
20m2’ rate to the total GFA of 2,170m2 equates to approximately 109 spaces. When applying a rate of ‘3 spaces
per medical practitioner’ to the total number of medical practitioners, this results in a requirement to provide
96 parking spaces.

To provide a comparison of the three varied parking demand outcomes as per above, these results are replicated
below:
          Council’s superseded planning scheme rate of 1 space/20m2 = 109 spaces required;
          Council’s superseded planning scheme rate of 3 spaces/MP = 96 spaces required;
