TTM Traffic report
Attached to the e-mail MCU16/0137 Response to NC Information request - 5/8 Selkirk Drve Noosaville.
Figure 2 shows that in a worst case scenario with maximum patronage at 30 minute intervals and gym parking
demands of 1.5 person per car, the existing car park would not be fully occupied at any time of the day. The
minimum parking availability shown in Figure 1 is 24 cars or 25.5% of the overall parking supply. This level of
parking availability is sufficient to account for suitable car park operation and increases in parking demands
from existing site uses.
Figures 1 and 2 show that gym peak operational periods occur in the morning before 7:00am and in the
evening from 5:00pm. At both times parking demands from the industrial use are no more than 15 vehicles.
This provides ample spare parking capacity for suitable gym and site operation.
Both figures also show a minor peak for the gym between 9:00am and midday before a significant decrease in
gym patronage. This minor peak coincides with 85% parking demands for the existing site uses. It is this minor
gym peak which should be addressed to maintain parking availability for the primary industrial use.
Table 1 provides a summary of minimum parking availability for the scenarios provided in Attachment 2.
Table 1: Minimum Parking Availability for Scenarios Assessed
Gym Parking Demand Parking Availability
Current Morayfield Schedule Recommended Schedule
1.5 persons per car 11 spaces 24 spaces
2 persons per car 20 spaces 30 spaces
3 persons per car 30 spaces 37 spaces
Table 1 shows the range of parking availability at 8 Selkirk Drive with the gym operating at a range of parking
occupancy from Council’s requirement (3 persons per car), to a maximum of 1.5 persons per car. It is likely
that the actual parking availability would be in the range of these values for the class numbers, size and times
approved by Council.
It is TTM’s opinion that gym parking demands at peak operational times can be appropriately managed
through conditions of development approval. The conditions can specify the maximum number and size of
classes in specific times periods. TTM’s recommendations in the preliminary parking assessment (Section 7)
remain valid, however, Council may specify alternative conditions to ensure parking availability for the gym
use.
