Ttm Group Peregian Beach Assessment

the public parking supply will decrease from the current 35 spaces to the 17 spaces ‘extra spaces’ included in
the development application. This may result in increased parking demands immediately surrounding Peregian
Beach Village as this overflow parking supply is restricted.

If parking is restricted for the office and community uses, these parking areas may be underutilised in peak
periods.

On a Sunday the parking occupancy is estimated to reduce as the additional parking supply outweighs the
anticipated parking demands. However, this benefit is dependent upon parking allocated to the office use
being publically available.

If the Rufous Street Precinct Master Plan proceeds without Area 4, parking supply will reduce which will
increase parking occupancy, and further result in shifting parking demands to the immediate vicinity of
Peregian Beach Village which is already at operational capacity. With Area 4, parking occupancy will decrease
in both the Thursday and Sunday peak parking periods.

Whilst decreases in parking occupancy in formal parking areas on a Sunday have been estimated, this does
not take into account parking demands counted as illegal parking, or on-street parking on Kingfisher Drive. As
the formal parking supply increases, it is likely that parking demands will shift, particularly from Kingfisher
Drive, to formal parking areas.

6. Recommendations

From this analysis and TTM’s review of the parking demands, the following recommendations are provided:

Staff Parking

It is recommended that staff in Peregian Beach Village are encouraged to park in the vicinity of Rufous Street,
where parking is underutilised. It is noted that staff prefer not to parking far from their workplace, or in
informal parking areas, such as the grassed verge on Rufous Street, however this will increase available parking
in the immediate vicinity of Peregian Beach Village and improve access for customers.

PWD Parking

The PWD parking supply in the surveyed parking areas is 10 spaces. Including the signed grassed verge on
Rufous Street, the formal parking supply in the surveyed parking areas is 300 spaces. As such PWD bays
comprise 3.3% of all formal parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of Peregian Beach Village. This exceeds
the BCA requirement for any building use with the generally maximum requirement of 2% PWD parking for
retail uses.

The parking study identified that PWD parking is underutilised during the week with a peak demand of 4 spaces
or 40% of the available 10 PWD bays in the parking survey area. This demand increase to 7 spaces on a Sunday,
                                                                                                              7
