ry

The convenience store predominantly catering to visitors staying in the street;

The size of the premises is 80m? and has limited retail area available;

A maximum of two staff members will be on the premises at any one time:

Most patrons will walk to the premises;

Alternative modes of transport such as the Bus stop and taxi facilities are located in close
proximity to the premises; and

Noosa Council is trying to affect a Modal Change with regard to use of motor vehicles.

The applicant therefore does not consider it appropriate for a monetary contribution to be payable for
the proposed use

The proposed use is considered to comply with Specific Outcome O89 of the Driveways and
Carparking Code as detailed below:

5.2

O9 Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely

to be generated by the development having regard to the specifics of the use including—

a) the type and intensity of land use; - The proposed convenience store will predominantly cater
to visitors staying or visiting the area. These patrons will generally park else where in the area
and undertake a range of trips across the Hastings Street precinct. The use itself will not
generate high levels of traffic.

b) any existing parking available on the site; - there is no carparking provided on site however
as detailed above the use will cater for people already utilising the area. The applicant has
based their operation on walk in trade.

c) hours of operation; - The premises will operate 24 hours a day seven days week.

d) likely numbers of users; - As indicated above, most users will be from the surrounding
accommodation houses or visitors accessing the natural features of the area. These users will
generally have parked elsewhere.

@) the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; - The peak demand will generally be
late afternoon to 8 pm which is outside the peak times of the Hastings Street area.

f) the availability of alternative carparking - alternative carparking is available directly opposite
the site and in the Lions Park. It is further noted that Council is trying to reduce the use of
motor vehicles across the Shire and that the site is in close proximity to the taxi rank and bus
interchange.
