6.0 CONCLUSIONS

This report discusses the traffic impacts and car parking requirements for a proposed
commercial and accommodation development located in Pergian Beach, known as “Essence
of Peregian Beach”. This development incorporates a commercial building, with retail and a
restaurant at ground level and office at first floor, fronting David Low Way and an affordable
accommodation resort adjacent to the Noosa National Park.

Based on the car parking requirements set out within the Noosa Planning Scheme, 120 car
parking spaces are required for the commercial building, with 62 car parking spaces required
for the accommodation.

The car parking provision for the accommodation precinct is one space short of the car
parking requirement, not considering the supply of the porte cochere. The analysis indicates
that the car parking supply for the commercial precinct is 18 spaces short of the requirement,
or two spaces short when consideration is given to temporal demands.

The proposed car parking provision is expected to be adequate, given:

. it is expected that there will be a cross-utilisation of the restaurant and retail
components with the accommodation precinct;
. the porte cochere for the accommodation precinct is capable of accommodating a

12.5m bus, which is larger than the requirements of Council and makes it possible
for large tour groups (i.e. OZ Experience) to stay on the site;

. a total of 40 bicycle parking spaces are proposed for the combined development;

. the car parking demands for the restaurant will peak at a different times to the
office components.

A review of the car parking layout indicated that, subject to car spaces #49 and #50 within the
commercial car parking basement being deleted, the car parking layout is expected to operate
adequately.

Bicycle parking for 22 bicycles is proposed within the basement of the commercial building. It
is considered a further 10 spaces could be provided at ground level as U-racks. In addition,
18 bicycle racks are proposed within the basement of the accommodation buildings.
