MCU19-0132 Applicant's Response to Council's IR

The Draft New Noosa Plan was endorsed by Noosa Council on the 11th December 2019 and as such
substantial consideration should be placed on the requirements prescribed within the new planning
scheme.

Council’s peer review consultant derived that parking demands associated with the Fitness Centre are
more likely to be in line with 1.5 persons per car

Using Council’s established car parking demand rate associated with an indoor gymnasium use located
within the Industry Zone of 1.5 persons/car space (see Delegated Report prepared by Lisa Pienaar
MCU16/0137), the following calculation represents the number of gym members and staff that can be on
site utilising the proposed car parking arrangements.

                19 carparking spaces available x 1.5 persons = 28.5 persons allowed on site.

The above calculation does not take into consideration the 15 bicycles spaces that are to be provided.

Further, with no more than 19 members attending the gymnasium at any one time and 3 staff members
on site, even allowing for a 5% growth in membership per year, sufficient carparking is available on site
for 5 years of continual exponential membership growth.



In summary,

• the proposed development is consistent with the intent of Specific Outcome O7 of the car parking
   code (Noosa Plan 2006),

• the proposed development is consistent with the requirements of the endorsed Draft New Noosa
   Plan, and

• the proposed development is consistent with Council’s established car parking demand rate
   (MCU16/0137).
