 Minor Change Transport Assessment                                                                    Date: 3 February 2023




4          Parking Demand Assessment

To inform Council’s considerations of the minor change nature of the reduction in parking supply to
accommodate the radiation bunker the following consideration is provided:
          The approved development was required by Condition 43 to provide 104 car parking spaces and 10
           motorcycle spaces on the site, plus an SRV loading bay and ambulance bay.
          Condition 43 resulted in the following effective parking provision rates for the approved development:
              Car parking at a rate of 4.79 spaces per 100sq.m GFA for the medical tenancies
              Motorcycle parking at a rate of 0.46 spaces per 100sq.m GFA for the medical tenancies
          The minor change application seeks to continue to provide parking at the above rates for all tenancies
           except the cancer treatment tenancy. That, is the following effective parking rates are proposed:
              All tenancies except the cancer treatment tenancy:
               o    Car parking at a rate of 4.79 spaces per 100sq.m GFA – equating to a provision of 80 spaces
               o    Motorcycle parking at a rate of 0.46 spaces per 100sq.m GFA– equating to a provision of 8 spaces
              For the cancer treatment tenancy:
               o    16 car parking spaces– equating to a reduced provision of 3.22 spaces per 100sq.m GFA
               o    2 motorcycle spaces– equating to a reduced provision of 0.40 spaces per 100sq.m GFA
          Given that no changes are proposed to the effective parking rate for the balance tenancies, no further
           consideration is provided herein as there is no changes relative to that already approved.
          For the cancer treatment tenancy, the operator has identified as documented at Attachment C the
           staffing and patient numbers as follows:
              Staff: 6 staff including site manager, consultant (working on rotation with others), nurse,
               receptionist and two radiology technicians;
              Patients: 2-3 patients and possible support persons who would typically arrive together.
          Assuming each of the above persons drive to site and required a parking space for the duration of their
           consultation and treatment would result in a parking demand of 9 spaces.
          The cancer treatment tenancy will benefit from 16 spaces which is greater than the expected number
           of spaces likely to be required for the tenancy, and therefore, readily sufficient to accommodate
           anticipated demands.
In summary, with the exception of the cancer treatment tenancy, the effective parking supply available to the
balance tenants will not differ from that approved by Condition 43. The cancer treatment tenancy will benefit
from 16 parking spaces which is greater than the expected number of spaces likely to be required for the
tenancy, hence, readily sufficient to accommodate this demand. Therefore, whilst the introduction of the
radiation bunker will result in a loss of parking spaces within the basement, this loss is not expected to
introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts from a transport perspective.
