Searches have been undertaken of the Contaminated Land Register (CLR) and Environmental Management
Register (EMR) for the subject site. A copy of the CLR and EMR search extract for the subject site is included
as Attachment C – Certificate of Title and EMR/CLR Search of this report.
In summary, the site is not included in the CLR but is included in the EMR for the following:
     “The site you have searched has been subdivided from the following site, which IS included on the EMR or the CLR.
               Lot: 2 Plan: SP182880
               Address: 28 EENIE CREEK ROAD
                       NOOSAVILLE QLD4565
     The site has been subject to the following Notifiable Activity or Hazardous Contaminant.
     SERVICE STATIONS - operating a commercial service station.”

Pursuant to Schedule 10, Part 4 Division 1 of the Planning Regulation, the development is not made
assessable development for contaminated land as the proposed development does not involve a sensitive
land use or a commercial use involving an accessible underground facility.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development seeks to convert the existing Sunshine Coast Betta Home Living tenancy within
the Emporium Precinct to an F45 Training gym tenancy with a total GFA of 369m2. The proposed development
will not alter the total GFA of the Emporium precinct or existing development. The changes to the tenancy are
internal to the building and will not alter the built form or physical scale of the approved Emporium buildings.
For more detail see Attachment B – Proposal Plans.
The F45 Training model differs from traditional gyms, whereby workouts are structured into 45 minute group
training sessions, rather than a traditional gym with equipment and individual workouts with varied lengths.
The proposed F45 Training gym at Noosa Civic will operate 5-6 classes per day, with the first class
commencing at 5am and the last class concluding at 6.30pm. Should the demand for the gym increase, more
classes may be offered within these operating hours.
Traffic and Transport Assessment
An analysis of the traffic generated by the proposed gym use and the implication for parking has been
undertaken by Cardno Traffic and Transport, and can be seen in Attachment D – Traffic and Transport
Letter.
The analysis found that there would be a negligible increase in traffic generation. Findings indicated that traffic
generation associated with the development will represent less than 3% of the overall centre generation on
Thursdays and 2% on Saturdays.
The original development approval requires 1,413 car parking spaces to be provided for the site. It is
understood that the number of car parks currently provided on the site is between 1,413 and 1,416 spaces.
No additional car parking spaces are proposed on the site as a result of the proposed gym development as
there is a current surplus of car parking spaces on the site. The analysis found that a peak demand of 39
spaces will occur as a result of the new gym use, before centre opening hours on both Thursday and Saturday
peak periods. With the proposed gym use there remains a car parking surplus. The centre has available
parking storage at peak periods on Thursdays of 286 spaces and Saturdays of 478 spaces. For more detail
see Attachment D – Traffic and Transport Letter.
