6. CAR PARKING REQUIREMENTS

An assessment of car parking has been undertaken to determine the appropriate
provision of parking spaces and accessibility in accordance with The Noosa Plan and
also Australian Standards for Parking Facilities AS2890.1:2004.

Access to the proposed development site will be available from Serenity Close as
shown in the attached site plan. Entry to the site will be from the eastern access with
all vehicles exiting via the western access. It is expected that all movements will be
left-in via the eastern access and right-out via the western access. Provision for
service vehicle access has also been accommodated. Requirements for the proposed
resort development are shown below.

6.1 The Noosa Plan Requirements

The requirements for parking in Noosa Council based on land use are indicated in
Table 14-47 of Part 14 — Assessment Criteria for Development for a State Purpose or
of a Stated Type of The Noosa Plan. A summary of requirements for car parking
spaces is shown in Table 6.1 below.

n.b, There are no specific parking requirements for conference facilities.

6.2 Australian Standards AS2890.1 Requirements

The requirements for parking are outlined in AS2890.1:2004 Off-street car parking.
The proposed development requires facilities for long-term parking identified as User
Class 1A (residential, domestic and employee parking). Dimensions for car parking
spaces are outlined in Figure 2.2 of AS2890.1. Minimum requirements for 90 degree
angle parking bays include a minimum width of 2.4m, length of 5.4m and aisle width
of 5.8m. The aisle width required is to allow three-point entry and exit into 90 degree
parking spaces only as outlined in Table 1.1 and Clause B4.8 of AS2890.1. The
disabled parking requirement for this type of development is typically 1-2% of the
entire patking provision, as stated in AS2890.1:2003. It is therefore recommended
that two parking spaces be provided with at least one space at street level.
