Tewantin Noosa RSL – Stage 4, 5 & 6
Traffic Impact Assessment


3.3         CURTESY BUS PATRONAGE DATA
            The RSL owns and operates three (3) curtesy buses. The RSL has provided detailed patronage data for a
            23-month period ending May 2016. Key findings from a review of this data are summarised below:
                on average, 8.2% of patrons arrived at the RSL via the curtesy bus;
                Friday and Saturday are typically the busiest days of the week for the curtesy buses;
                on the corresponding Friday last year (19th June 2016), 13.9% arrived via the curtesy bus; and
                on the corresponding Saturday last year (20th June 2016), 11.8% arrived via the curtesy bus.

3.4         ESTIMATION OF FUTURE PARKING DEMANDS
            We have considered two (2) methodologies to estimate parking requirements for the expansion, including:
                interpolation based on the existing off-street parking supply rate; and
                interpolation based on the surveyed off-street parking demand rate.

3.4.1       Based on Existing Off-Street Parking Supply Rate
            Based on the existing total use area (1,957.84m²) and existing off-street parking supply (86 spaces) we
            estimate an existing parking supply rate of 4.39 spaces/100m² of TUA. As highlighted in Table 3.1, applying
            this rate to the proposed TUA for Stage 6 would warrant a total of 128 off-street car parking spaces, which
            equates to a shortfall of five (5) spaces compared to what is currently proposed.

3.4.2       Based on Surveyed Off-Street Parking Demand Rate
            Based on the existing total use area (1,957.84m²) and the surveyed peak off-street parking demand (80
            cars) we estimate an existing parking demand rate of 4.09 spaces/100m² of TUA. As highlighted in Table
            3.2, applying this rate to the proposed TUA for Stage 6 would warrant a total of 119 off-street car parking
            spaces, which equates to a surplus of four (4) spaces compared to what is currently proposed.
