*The development is situated within a Major Centre zone in Noosa and is therefore considered comparable.

As can be seen Table 1, the car parking space requirements for other Councils are less than the 97 spaces
required by NSC. The provision of 95 spaces therefore exceeds these requirements. The SCC parking rate can
be considered a comparable benchmark given that the SCC is a bordering Council with Noosa and exhibits
similar regional characteristics. Whilst the Gold Coast and Redlands are located further away from the
development, they are also considered relevant to the development due to the higher practical demands
and lower parking rates within these regions.

The RTA’s Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (RTA GTGD) provides parking rates for an office land
use however refers to the Land Use Traffic Generation – Data and Analysis 18 – Bulky Goods Retail Stores
(LUTG DA BGRS) report for information regarding parking demand and provisions for a showroom/bulky
goods land use. The LUTG report contains a summary of information provided by site managers of various
showroom/bulky goods tenancies (Domayne, Fantastic Furniture, Freedom, Harvey Norman, Retravision) in
Sydney and other areas in New South Wales. Whilst no tenancies are currently proposed for the
development, It should be noted that the aforementioned tenancies are highly comparable to the type of
tenancies to be contracted for the development.

Table 2 shows an average of the parking rates and parking demand rates during the peak demand period of
all tenancies.
