Applicant’s Response


1. Allocation of Existing Car Parking Spaces

As determined by Council in their Delegated Report for MCU21/0106 (FitStop at Tenancy 3, 11 Gibson Road,
Noosaville), the allocation of the existing car parking infrastructure to each tenancy has been calculated by:

        The carparking supply for each tenancy is calculated by dividing by (sic) the total GFA 1170m2 by 26
        spaces which provides for a car parking supply of 1 space per 45m2 of GFA.

Based on the above rate of 1 space per 45m2 of GFA, the car parking spaces available to Tenancy 4
(Edwards&Co) is 6 spaces (actual 5.53 spaces; rounded up to be consistent with Council’s Delegated Report
MCU21/0106).



2. Proposed Use Area

Refer to the Amended Site Plan prepared by Amanda Jarvis Design Studio in Attachment 1. It is noted that
several areas of the proposed hair salon studio do not contribute to actual car parking generation, and
these include:

    •   Front counter and waiting area,

    •   Kitchenette and client drinks station,

    •   Staff and client toilet amenities,

    •   Back of house and storeroom area, and

    •   Staff scooter and bicycle parking area.

The proposed Use Area of Tenancy 4 is 139m2.



3. Staff and Client Numbers

It is expected that Edwards&Co will typically be operating with 3 to 4 staff and servicing 6 to 8 clients at any
one time.

It is considered reasonable to apply the car parking demand rate of 0.8 spaces per client supported by
Council in numerous Delegated Reports, including MCU21/0106 – FitStop Noosa. This rate is based on
circumstances where most customers drive their own cars, but there is a small amount who will ride share,
carpool, or utilise active and public transport modes.

8 clients at a car parking rate of 0.8 = 6.4 spaces. Tenancy 4 is allocated 6 spaces and as such has sufficient
car parking for the likely numbers of users.



4. Operational Hours Proposed

As illustrated in the Amended Site Plan (Attachment 1) the internal configuration of the tenancy is proposed
