Traffic Engineering Assessment

4.4 Adequacy of Proposed Parking Supply

A total of 280 spaces is proposed for the development, including 249 located on the subject site and 31
spaces located on the adjoining site immediately to the west (consistent with the current parking
agreement).

The proposed supply is adequate to accommodate the estimated peak parking demand (223 cars) and
exceeds the recommended minimum parking supply (246 spaces) which is based on the estimated peak
parking demand. It is noted that the recommended supply equates to a rate of 1 space per 20m2 GFA which
is consistent with the minimum rate of supply adopted by other local Council planning schemes. Therefore,
the proposed supply is appropriate.

5. Parking Area Design
The proposed modification works to the existing car parking areas are generally depicted on the
architectural plans and shown in more detail on TTM drawing number 17BRT0143-02C (Attachment 4).

Whilst the recommended modifications are not mandatory in terms of design compliance they would result
in significant improvement to both vehicle and pedestrian safety and operational efficiency. In particular,
pedestrian provisions are improved in both the northern and southern parking areas with the proposed
provision of designated paths and new kerb ramps which align with observed pedestrian desire lines. The
proposed reconfiguration of the first internal intersection within the southern parking area results in
reduced vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian conflict points by removing direct access to the parking aisle
along the western side of the building and modifying traffic priority controls.

The proposed modifications, subject to detailed design, are anticipated to be a warranted improvement to
the existing traffic operations.
