5.2 Operational Aspects of the Proposed Development

Salon Operation
EdwardsAndCo is Australia’s leading hair agency, housing the country’s most refined hairstylists and
makeup artists. As a boutique salon, EdwardsAndCo offer an intimate, high-end experience for their
clients.

The proposed hours of operation are listed in Table 3.

Table 3: Proposed House of Operation

 Sunday                      Closed

 Monday                      Closed

 Tuesday                     9:00AM to 5:00PM

 Wednesday                   9:00AM to 5:00PM

 Thursday                    9:00AM to 9:00PM
 Friday                      9:00AM to 7:00PM

 Saturday                    8:00AM to 4:00PM

As standard practice within the hair salon industry, appointments are staggered to enable stylists
to attend to multiple clients. The staggering of appointments ensures peak loads for car parking is
lessened.

The above hours of operation are in accordance with the permitted hours allowed for businesses
within the Business Activities Code (AO11.1).

Carparking
As illustrated within the Proposed Floor Plan (Appendix A) prepared by Amanda Jarvis Design
Studio, a reconfiguration of the internal showroom layout is proposed. It is noted that several areas
of the hair salon studio do not contribute to actual car parking generation, and these include:

    •      Front counter/reception area,

    •      Kitchenette/client drinks station,

    •      Staff and client amenities, and

    •      Staff and storeroom area.

Noosa Council, in assessing the Indoor Sport and Recreation use located in Shop 3, have determined
the car parking supply for each tenancy within Noosaville Central development is:

     Development Assessment Delegated Report 26th August 2021 – MCU21/0106
     The carparking supply for each tenancy is calculated by dividing by the total GFA 1170m2 by 26
     spaces which provides for a car parking supply of 1 space per 45m2 of GFA.

Based on the rate of 1 space per 45m2 of GFA, the car parking spaces available to Shop 4 is 6. There
are 27 x spaces available on site, including 1 x PWD space. Table 9.4.1.4 within the Driveways and
Parking Code prescribes the number of car parking spaces to be provided (Table 4).
