      The proposed conference facility on the ground floor of the three-storey accommodation building will
      be ancillary to the visitor accommodation and not a separate land use. Therefore, no dedicated parking
      provision for this facility is required. From an operational perspective, those using the conference
      facilities will also be using the accommodation and will have a dedicated on-site car parking space.

      3.4.2 Provision
      It is proposed to provide a total of 115 on-site parking spaces for the proposed development as follows:

      Three Storey Accommodation Building

                40 car parking spaces in an undercroft car parking area comprising:
                         37 secure residents spaces
                         three visitor spaces including one Person with Disability (PWD) bay

      Free Standing Units

                75 car parking spaces comprising:
                         67 residents spaces provided in garages and carports including 10 tandem bays (all
                         tandem spaces would be allocated to the same dwelling 1)
                         eight visitor spaces

      The proposed on-site parking provision exceeds the requirements of the Noosa Plan and is considered
      to be sufficient to accommodate the anticipated peak parking demand.

      3.4.3 Design

      The layout of the on-site car parking areas are generally consistent with the requirements of Australian
      Standard AS2890.1:2004 Parking Facilities Part 1: “Off-Street Car Parking” (AS2890.1) in terms of
      bay dimensions, aisle widths, vehicle circulation and manoeuvring. This is typified by:

                2.4m x 5.4m standard car parking spaces
                parallel car parking spaces dimensioned 2.1m x 6.2m
                PWD spaces dimensioned 2.4m x 5.4m bay plus a 2.4m x 5.4m shared area
                car parking aisles in excess of 6.0m
                garages with minimum internal dimensions as follows:
                         single garage: 3.0m x 6.0m
                         double garage: 5.8m x 6.0m

3.5   Internal Layout
      All internal roadways within the development have a carriageway width of 5.5 – 6.0m. This pavement
      width allows a car to pass a parked truck at a 30km/hr speed (according to the 1993 edition of
      Queensland Streets). It is also consistent with AS2890.1, which identifies a minimum (two-way) roadway
      width of 5.5m. Additional carriageway widening is provided on curves to facilitate safe vehicle passing.




      1
          Tandem parking bays are acceptable for residential use where the two spaces are allocated to the same dwelling.
