3.3         CARPARK REQUIREMENTS
Table 3-1 outlines the parking requirements for the proposed development as per Noosa
Council’s Noosa Planning Scheme Part 14 Division 13 - Driveways and Carparking Code. As per
the Noosa Planning Scheme, parking requirements are calculated based on a building’s use
area, which the scheme defines as the sum of the area of the premises (exclusive of all walls and
columns), including all storeys, used or intended for use for a particular purpose. The proposed
development has a use area of 5,704m2.
                                     Table 3-1 Carparking Requirement

                                                                                     Minimum Parking

                  1 space per 20m2, or part thereof, of                                                   280 standard bays
   Type 2
                  use area; OR 3 spaces per medical                5,704m²                 286             + 34 motorcycle
   Medical
                    practitioner whichever is greater                                                            bays




As summarised in Table 3-1, the total minimum parking requirements for the proposed site is 286
parking spaces. The proposed development site plans shows allowance for 280 standard parking
spaces and 34 motorcycle spaces. As per the Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 26: Motorcycle and
Scooter Parking Table 14, Motorcycle parking spaces may be provided in lieu of standard parking
spaces at a rate of 1:4. Therefore, the proposed development has a parking supply of 288
parking spaces, resulting in a surplus of two (2) parking spaces.


3.4         INTERNAL PARKING DESIGN
Table 3-2 identifies the characteristics of the proposed parking areas with respect to the
AS2890.1 requirements as stipulated in the Noosa Planning Scheme. The last column identifies
the compliance of each design aspect.
