  Noosa Fair and Bowls Club Redevelopment

© 2013 - TTM Consulting Pty Ltd                                                         Reference No: 12SCT0068


4.6        PWD Parking Requirements
The Noosa Plan identifies PWD parking to be supplied at the rate indicated in AS 2890.1 – Parking
Facilities (Part 1: Off-street Car parking). This standard was superseded in 2004, with the newer
standard not providing guidance on PWD parking provision rates.
The draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme refers to the Building Code of Australia (BCA) for PWD
parking rates. The BCA provides PWD parking rates for most types of land uses. Table 4.5 shows
the PWD parking requirements for dominant land uses included in the proposed expansion.

Table 4.5: PWD Parking Requirement

 Building Class     PWD Rate                Land Use Parking Provision              PWD Requirement

                                             Stage 1          Stage 2            Stage 1            Stage 2

 Class     5    –   1 space / 100               -                47                 -                  1

 Class 6 – Shop     2 spaces / 100            615               577                12                 12

The proposed redevelopment includes 12 PWD bays in Stage 1 and 16 PWD bays in Stage 2. This
provision either meets or exceeds the BCA requirements and is therefore considered suitable.


4.7        Car Park Layout
TTM have reviewed all parking spaces within the proposed redevelopment. All publicly accessible
angle parking spaces are 2.6m wide and all secured spaces for staff (commercial car park) and
residents (multiple unit dwelling car park) are a minimum 2.4m wide. All parallel parking spaces
are designed in accordance with Australian Standards. All internal roadways and parking aisles are
a minimum 6.0m wide with the exception of one way aisles which are a minimum 4.0m wide.
Any columns near parking spaces associated with Stage 2 development (commercial and
residential) should be located outside the parking space envelope in AS2890.1, with any spaces
adjacent to walls provided a 300mm clearance to spaces.
All on-site gradients and ramps comply with Australian Standards.
The car park layout is generally designed in accordance with Australian Standards and is therefore
considered suitable.


4.8        Council Motorcycle Requirements
The Noosa Plan identifies that motorcycle parking should be provided at a rate of 1 per 10
standard spaces for retail, commercial and entertainment and dining businesses. The existing car
park is considered to be subject to an existing approval which did not require these spaces.
Based on the parking requirement for individual uses under the Noosa Plan, 24 motorcycle spaces
would be required for Stage 1, with a total of 35 required for Stage 2.
The development provides a total of 42 motorcycle spaces with Stage 1. With Stage 2 of the
development, a total of 39 motorcycle spaces will be provided. The proposed supply of
motorcycle spaces is considered suitable for the intended redevelopment of the subject site.
