Driveways and Parking Code

Carparking

AO6.1
The number of car parking spaces, motorcycle spaces, bicycle spaces and loading bays is not
less than the minimum number specified in Table 9.4.1.4 Minimum parking
requirements including end of trip facilities.

Despite the proposal converting the existing garage to the lounge room, the proposal is able
to maintain two (2) car parking spaces for Unit 2. Under the Noosa Plan 2020 for Multiple
Dwelling development requires the following:

Multiple Dwelling

If not small dwellings:
    a. two spaces per dwelling greater than 100m²; and
    b. one visitor space per four dwellings.

Editor's Note—car parking may be provided in tandem for dwellings which require 2 spaces.

The proposal continues to allow for two (2) car spaces to be provided, one (1) covered within
the garage and the other in tandem within the driveway. Importantly, the proposal plans
provide a 5.1m setback from the garage to the internal lot boundary, as shown on the proposal
plans. The change to Unit 2 does not affect vehicular access or adversely impact on any existing
landscaping.

The Queensland Development Code (QDC) MP1.1 – Design and Siting Standard for Single
Detached Housing – On Lots 450m2 and under prescribes the minimum parking space for a
single uncovered parking space is 4.9m by 2.6m wide. Therefore, the proposed tandem space
is able to meet this provision and demonstrates compliance with AO6.1 of the Driveways and
Parking Code.

Proposed Changes to Existing Development Approval

The current Decision Notice issued 20 March 2025, is the current development approval, which
is subject to conditions. This change application seeks to replace the approved plans for Unit
2 with the proposal plans (refer Attachment 1). The proposed plans can be approved through
the imposition of an additional condition.

It is suggested that existing condition 1 should remain unchanged and an additional condition
included to reflect the proposed amendment. The additional condition should read as follows:
