PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks a development permit for a code assessable application for an indoor sport and
recreation use located at 3/11 Gibson Road, Noosaville. The subject site is located within the District
centre zone.

Business Operations
The proposed development is for an indoor sport and recreation use, as such, its business hours are
typical for a development of this nature.
Monday through to Friday will see the first classes begin operation at 5am, with the final morning class
concluding at 10am.
Afternoon classes will operate from 4.15pm and conclude at 7pm. Saturday mornings see Fitstops classic
“Social Saturday” classes, with 2 x session being held at 6am and 7am. The business will be closed on
Sundays. Refer table 4 below.
Predominantly, the classes will be held outside of standard retail hours (9am-5pm). These operational
hours are complimentary to the existing business uses on at 11 Gibson Road, where peak traffic flows
will predominately be between 9am-5pm, and over the weekend.
There is minimal conflict between Fitstop’s proposed operating hours and that of the adjoining
businesses. Some overlap does occur at 9am and 4pm Monday to Friday.
Refer tables 4, 5,6 and 7 below.
The subject site adjoins the low density residential zone to the south.

Given the proposed operational hours, it is considered that the adjoining residences are the primary
concern for noise emissions.
However, additional noise reduction techniques have also been employed to ensure adjoining
businesses are unaffected during their operational hours. A letter of support from the owner/operator
of City Cave has been provided and is included as Attachment A.
