This includes the 72 spaces to be provided on the subject land occupied by the proposed development. The
development provides for these 72 carparking spaces along with an additional 34 spaces for the additional
675m² of office floor space. This equates to 1 space per 20m² of use area being the applicable rate under
Table 14-51 Vehicle Parking Requirements. This rate was also agreed to by the traffic experts in consideration
of this mixed-use development in the recent appeal. Further, the current hours of operation will remain
unchanged being primarily business hours, Monday to Friday. The proposed carparking under the changes
application fully complies with performance outcome 07.

The matter of alternative parking is also being considered as a temporary measure at 101 and 105 Eumundi
Noosa Road, which has been purchased by the applicant. The use of this land for parking for the development
will be the subject of further discussions with Council in the near future.

O8 The layout of the development provides adequate, clearly defined and easily accessible –
  a) on-site vehicle parking and manoeuvring areas; and
  b) loading and manoeuvring areas for delivery and service vehicles.

The on-site parking and manoeuvring areas are adequate, clearly defined and easily accessible for both the
existing and proposed development. This design of the new multilevel carpark and the associated access have
been considered by TOD Consulting (refer Attachment 4).

O20 Carparks are designed to ensure run-off is treated to remove pollutants prior to leaving the premises.

The proposed new carpark is to be roofed and therefore does not generate stormwater runoff from sealed
areas. The proposed development is to provide a new bio-detention basin at the rear of the development,
which is to collect all stormwater from the new development as well as runoff from the Telstra Depot, and
discharge treated stormwater to the parkland (refer Attachments 4 & 5).


Infrastructure Charges

The Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (AICR) applies to the proposed development. According to
Table 10.3 Schedule of adopted charges, the applicable charging rates for the uses applied for are as follows:
   • Commercial Business Type 1 – Office - $140.00 per m² (GFA);
   • Commercial Business Type 2 Medical and Type 3 Veterinary - $140.00 per m² (GFA); and
   • Education Type 3 – Adult - $140.00 per m² (GVA).

Consequently, the rate applicable is $140.00 per m², which for 675m² of office space, equates to a charge of
$94,500.00 being payable, as at July 2014, which is to be indexed to present. A charge is also payable for
stormwater drainage and applies to new imperious areas; however, given this area of the site already provides
for a sealed carpark, there is no additional impervious area and no additional charge payable. It is requested
however, that consideration be given to the current charges already paid for the development. This is in terms
of charges levied for the 6,304m² of floor area as originally approved; however, only 6,054m² of floor space
has been constructed on the land.


Conclusion

The changes application seeks to change the current approval pursuant to section 78 of the Planning Act
2017. While the most recent approval was granted by the Planning and Environment Court, advice provided
