Noosaville Hofmann Drive Medical Centre                                                                4 December 2024
Further Minor Change Transport Assessment                                                    SLR Project No.: 620.V30769


6.0          Summary
A minor change application is being made to accommodate the relocation of the Pump
Room, Booster Pump and associated fire-fighting infrastructure to replace two adjacent
parking spaces situated in the Basement 1 level. This is a result of a QFES audit and inspection
which identified several non-compliances to Australian Standards relating to the installation.
The aim of this statement of advice is to inform Council’s decision as to whether the proposal
would result in substantially different development under the minor change test. Specifically,
the reporting and analysis documented herein seeks to inform Council’s consideration of
whether the changes “introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts” or
if the changes “significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
increasing traffic to the site”.
As identified in Table 1, no changes are proposed, with the exception of the reduced parking
supply, which has a theoretical potential to introduce new or increase the severity of known
transport impacts. Further investigation of the potential impact of the proposed reduced
parking supply has identified that the effective parking supply rate available to the medical
centre’s tenants (except for the Cancer treatment facility tenant) is proposed to remain
unchanged from that approved by Condition 43, hence, there are no changes to be assessed
for these tenancies.
In relation to the Cancer treatment tenancy, it will still benefit from 14 parking spaces which
is greater than the assessed parking demand (refer to Minor Change 2023) likely to be
required for the tenancy, hence, readily sufficient to accommodate this demand.
Furthermore, a parking survey was conducted which indicated the existing parking supply is
currently underutilised.
Therefore, whilst moving the fire pumps will result in a loss of parking spaces, this loss is not
expected to introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts from a
transport perspective.
Consequently, it is SLR’s view that the proposed changes will not result in a substantially
different development to that previously approved from a traffic engineering perspective.
