3          First Principles Assessment of Traffic and Car Parking
3.1        School Camp Use
Adopting a ‘first principles’ approach to car parking, the following are noted:
        The 299 campers, including support staff from the school, will arrive by bus.
        The 50 camp staff, working on the site, will arrive by private vehicle.
Assuming 25% of staff car-pool, due to the site location and demographic of camp staff, it is anticipated
that there will be a demand for 38 staff cars. These staff will arrive in the morning and depart in the
evening, resulting in 76 vehicle trips per day.
Campers and associated teaching staff are expected to travel to site by bus. Adopting an occupancy of
55 persons per bus, a total of seven (7) buses are anticipated, allowing for each village to have an
independent school group, as follows:
        Village 1:          100 persons:   2 buses.
        Village 2:          139 persons:   3 buses.
        Village 3:          60 persons:    2 buses.
On the basis of the above, the following summarises the anticipated parking demand for school camp use:
        38 car parks.
        7 bus parks.

3.2        School Holiday Use
During the school holidays, week-long CYC holiday camps are intended to be offered on the site. It has been
advised that similar camps currently offered at the CYC Burleigh site experience an average attendance of
50% of the total capacity. As the intent is not to limit the potential operation of the camp facility on
school holidays, traffic and car parking impacts are based on the full 299 beds being utilised.
Again similar the CYC Burleigh operations, it has been advised that bus transport will be offered for
participants. It has been advised that 60% of attendees are expected to arrive by bus.
For the purpose of this assessment, it is assumed that:
        Camps operate for 5 days, Monday – Friday.
        60% of attendees arrive by bus, with a capacity of 55 persons / bus.
        40% arrival by car, with an average car occupancy of 1.5 attendees / car (friend and family groups).
        Staggered drop off, with a maximum of 80% of cars at one time on Monday;
        100% of cars for pick-up will be on-site at the one time on Friday for collection.
        50 external staff will be required to facilitate camp operations (25% car pool).
