Ttm Group Peregian Beach Assessment

Table 1 shows the peak parking demands on the Thursday occurred at 11am with a peak demand of 237 cars,
and a (formal) car park occupancy of 86.2%. The Thursday occupancy rate decreases to 80.7% once the grassed
verge on Rufous Street is factored in. At the time of peak occupancy, formal parking in Areas 1, 2 and 3 was
found to be 90%.

Table 1 also shows the peak parking demand on the Sunday occurred at 3pm with a peak demand of 273 cars,
and a (formal) car park occupancy 99.3%. This is the same occupancy rate found in Areas 1, 2 and 3 combined.
The Sunday occupancy rate decreases to 96.3% once the grassed verge on Rufous Street is factored in.

It is noted that these percentages are based on peak times which have been found on Thursday morning from
9am till midday and Sunday afternoon from 1-4pm. Outside these times there is ample spare capacity in formal
parking areas surrounding Peregian Beach Village.

            d. Parking Situation

For any parking area with a range of uses, such as a shopping centre or Peregian Beach Village, with various
entry and exit movements, the peak operational parking occupancy is generally 90%. This allows 10% of spaces
to be vacant to allow drivers to find empty spaces and allow efficient use of the circulation aisles/roadways.
As such, formal parking in the immediate vicinity of Peregian Beach Village is currently at the operational
capacity during weekday peak periods, with parking on Rufous Street providing for overflow parking. Parking
demands ease in the afternoon providing ample spare capacity from 1pm during the survey.

The parking demands on a Sunday at 96-99% are significantly above the peak operational parking occupancy
and as such would have negative impacts on:

       Customers of existing shops in Peregian Beach Village; and
       Attendees of Peregian Originals.

These groups would be required to circulate prior to finding a parking space and may decide not to use facilities
in the Village area or not attend the community event. Outside of peak event times, there appears to be ample
spare parking capacity in formal parking areas.
