  Even during "normal" business hours, the car park is only partially used most of the time. There are
 ten units, and officially twenty-eight car spaces. Even If each business operator occupied two car
 spaces all day (which they don't) that leaves eight car spaces....not counting spaces in front of the
 ten double-width roller doors, which are not generally used for their allotted purpose and could be
 utilised for parking - at least by the relevant business owner.

 The nature of the businesses operating within the Commerce Centre being mostly services or
 wholesalers, do not attract a heavy traffic flow as does a retail centre. Therefore, the natural hours
 of operation of a modern fitness/indoor entertainment studio are most compatible with the hours of
 operation of other businesses operating within the Commerce Centre.

 Therefore, in consideration of the use of the carpark, I suggest there is scope for group activities in
 Unit 9 for up to eight to ten attendees during normal business hours. I suggest therefore that a
 "small group" be considered to consist of eight to ten participants.


 FURTHERMORE, I SUGGEST THAT APPROVED HOURS FOR GROUP
 SESSIONS/CLASSES BE SIMPLIFIED AS FOLLOWS:

       •     Unlimited overall hours of operation should apply for most activities (other than large
             sessions/classes). IF, however, hours must be limited, a fitness/entertainment studio should
             be able to operate between 5.00 am to 10.00pm daily. That is, within these hours one-on-
             one appointments and/or "small" group sessions/classes (see above paragraph) should be
             unrestricted in frequency providing that associated noise level be kept to a moderate level
             during normal business hours (that is between say 8.00 am and 4.00 pm Monday to Friday).

            Large group sessions/classes of unspecified number should end before say 9.00 am and not
            start before 4.00 pm. (The size of these sessions/classes should be determined by the
            business operator, who would professionally take into consideration the size of the premises
            combined with the requirements of the particular activity being conducted at any given
            time).

      •     To facilitate the programming of hourly activities, I suggest the interval between
            sessions/classes be reduced to 10 minutes. This would give the business operator the option
            to conduct 50 minute sessions/classes, (a reasonable class duration) and operate an hourly
            schedule for simplicity of programming.
