3.2    Vehicle Parking
13.    For a Warehouse land use, vehicle parking is required at the following rates under Table 9.4.1.4 of the
       Planning Scheme:
            •     one space per 50m² up to 500m²;
            •     one space per 100m² in excess of 500m²; and
            •     site of 4,000m² or more a loading bay for a semi-trailer of 15m x 3.6m and on site manoeuvring
                  for a semi-trailer.

14.    Table 9.4.1.4 provides explanatory notes for calculating vehicle parking requirements, detailing under
       Note 2 that “Parking (car, motorcycle, bicycle) spaces where required ‘per m²’, is calculated from gross
       floor area unless otherwise specified”. The parking rates for a Warehouse use do not specify use area,
       and therefore the rates apply to an increase in Gross Floor Area (GFA) only. The proposed extension does
       not create any new GFA onsite, and therefore additional car parking is not required to be provided.

15.    Given the nature of the proposed open-air storage area, being pickup/drop-off of vehicles usually towed
       by a car, it is not necessary to provide separate car parking onsite to accommodate this increased use
       area. Further, wide aisles are provided within the storage area for users to temporarily stop while
       accessing their dedicated space. Further, a staff car park is provided at the front of the site for the single
       staff member that is stationed in the office on the premises.

For a Warehouse land use, vehicle parking is required at the following rates under Table 9.4.1.4 of the
Planning Scheme:
© one space per 50m? up to 500m2;
© one space per 100m? in excess of 500m?; and
e site of 4,000m? or more a loading bay for a semi-trailer of 15m x 3.6m and on site manoeuvring
for a semi-trailer.

Note 2 that “Parking (car, motorcycle, bicycle) spaces where required ‘per m”, is calculated from gross
floor area unless otherwise specified”. The parking rates for a Warehouse use do not specify use area,
and therefore the rates apply to an increase in Gross Floor Area (GFA) only. The proposed extension does
