Mr Colin Dymond, [email protected] Question Based upon the current design for the new car park behind the library what is the net increase in car parking spaces? Response The Deputy Mayor advised that the current design is not yet completed. Question It is stated in the item regarding the SGIO car park that the building of the new car park behind the library will offset the loss of bays from the sale of the car park? Response Acquisition of the Beaurepaires site was strategic, creating land capacity for future development (with private sector participation) of a commercial multi-deck car parking facility, on that site and potentially also the library carpark area, with ground floor commercial shopfront development, and possibly including g some in-city residential development on top floors above the car parking decks. A development such as this has been successfully undertaken in Cairns. Timing of such a development is dependent on actual demand for parking. In that context, the current development of the car parking area on the Beaurepaires site is an interim development only. Future deck parking, when justified by actual 4 ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL MINUTES 27 NOVEMBER 2012 demand for parking in the CBD, will more than offset any loss of parking associated with the SGIO car park. The market will determine timing. Question If my memory is correct the reason why the council first purchase the car park from the state government so to secure the long term car parking requirements for the city. As I understand our car parking requirements in the CBD have not decreased, or does a new study refute this? Response The Deputy Mayor advised that no new studies have been undertaken. Question How is it possible that this proposal will offset the carparking requirements when the net increase in bays is for only 1 after a loss of 99 bays? Response See response above. Question I would contend that the City would achieve higher revenue for the site if it were patrolled correctly and infringement notices issues for non-payers as I understand this is not currently the case. Response Patrolling and issue of infringement notices does in fact occur but, as is the case with all City car parks, full time patrolling

When these empirical models are weighted spatially over large distances (hundreds of kilometres), the results are more equivocal.
