      1 space per 10 m2, or part thereof, of any outdoor dining area on the property.

Table 1 below summarises the car parking supply requirement based on application of the above-mentioned
rates to the existing and proposed development.

Table 1: Planning Scheme Probable Solution Car Parking Supply Requirement

    Scenario                Use              Total Use Area     Rate                Spaces Required
    Existing                Shop             4,512 m2           1 space / 15 m2     301 spaces
    Proposed                Shop             4,539 m2           1 space / 15 m2     302.6
                            Outdoor dining   31 m2              1 space / 10 m2     3.1
                            Sub-total        4,570 m2                               306 spaces
    Change                                   58 m2                                  5 spaces



Based on the current planning scheme a total of 306 car parking spaces is required for the proposed
development.

4.2 Other Local Authority Parking Requirements

It is noted that the Noosa Plan 2006 is currently in the process of review and it is intended that the New
Noosa Plan be finalised by 2019. It is anticipated that parking supply rates included in the current planning
scheme would be updated.

Whilst minimum rates of parking supply will be determined by Council in due course, in this instance it is
relevant to consider rates that other local authorities have adopted as part of their current planning
schemes. Rates from other local council planning schemes are summarised in Table 2.

Table 2: Local Council Planning Scheme Parking Rates (Shopping Centre and Shop)

    Council                                   Planning Scheme                           Minimum Parking Supply Rate
    Sunshine Coast Regional Council           Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014       1 space per 20m2 GFA
    Fraser Coast Regional Council             Fraser Coast Planning Scheme 2014         1 space per 20m2 GFA
    Moreton Bay Regional Council              MBRC Planning Scheme 2016                 1 space per 20m2 GFA
    Brisbane City Council                     City Plan 2014                            1 space per 20m2 GFA



It is apparent that a minimum parking supply rate of 1 space per 20m2 GFA is an appropriate level of supply
for shopping centre developments.
