Catchment drive time requirements by retail size

Catchments should be defined by detailed drive time calculation (which is determined by estimating the catchment served by, for example, a 15 minute drive time). The drive times which are appropriate will depend on the specific development. The council will require a 20-minute drive time catchment for major retail applications of 1,000m² gross floorspace and above. For smaller retail applications below 100m² a reduced catchment of 5-minute drive time will be applied. Catchments may extend beyond the council boundary and it should be noted that they may also include other centres outside of the council boundary.
