TTM Traffic report
Attached to the e-mail MCU16/0137 Response to NC Information request - 5/8 Selkirk Drve Noosaville.
1 space per 30m2 use area up to 150m2.
1 space per 50m2 use area up to 500m2.
1 space per 100m2 use area over 500m2.
Based on the 5,140m2 Total Unit Area (page 2 of parking assessment), these parking rates result in a parking
requirement of 59 parking spaces. As such, by approving the development with 94 spaces, the development
included 35 spaces more than required.
The development provides 94 spaces with a total Unit area of 5,140m2. This is an average of 1 space per 54.7m2
Unit Area. It must be anticipated that Council believed this level of on-site parking was sufficient at the time.
Based on TTM’s survey of the site and extensive experience with multi-tenancy industrial sites, more intensive
uses are unlikely to be located on site in the future. This is because the tenancy sizes are not conducive to
more intensive uses. Any change in tenant in the future to a more intensive use, is likely to be offset by other
uses being either vacant or a less intense use (warehouse/storage). This is supported by the Council Parking
rates for industrial Type 1 and Type 2. Parking is provided for Type 1 uses; however any mix of industrial uses
is likely to reduce the requirement for the site overall.
3.3. Vacant Tenancies (Item 1c)
The surveyed parking demand was used to determine a parking demand rate of occupied Units (Table 4). This
parking demand rate was then applied to all tenancies excluding Unit 5 to determine the parking demand
exclusive of Unit 5 (Table 4). This parking demand was then used as a basis to determine parking availability at
both maximum and 85th operation (Table 5).
It is TTM’s opinion that vacant tenancies were adequately considered in the parking assessment, and no
further assessment is required.
3.4. Parking Surveys (Item 1d)
It is TTM’s opinion that parking surveys of other gyms as requested is not appropriate to determine gym
parking demands for the following reasons:
The Information Request identifies that there would be difficulty in differentiating gym parking
demands from other uses in a mixed use environment. TTM have reviewed the majority of Fernwood
gyms in Southeast Queensland and note they are generally located shopping centers of mixed use
complexes. Finding two gyms of similar size and operation, which are sufficiently detached from
adjacent uses to easily determine parking demands may not be possible.
The Information request includes providing floor areas and membership levels of surveyed gyms.
Determining floor areas of a gym may not be possible unless the tenant provides this information.
