for the assessment of development within the Noosa Heads local plan area.
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosa Heads local plan area:
     (j) Noosa Junction functions as a major activity centre providing a range of goods and services
     for residents and visitors in a predominantly multi-tenancy ‘main street’ form with a strong
     relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The redevelopment of the former Bowls site
     provides for a new road connection from Noosa Drive through to Lanyana Way as well as an
     activated public open space area.
     (p) Residents of Noosa Heads enjoy high levels of residential amenity and convenience to urban
     services and recreational opportunities.
     (y) The Noosa Heads locality provides a range of community and sports and recreational uses
     which support both residents and visitors.



Comment: The proposed Indoor Sport and Recreation use is a reuse of an existing building in a
mixed use building (Noosa Cine Centre). The proposed development is compatible with the existing
nature and character of the Noosa Junction. The use presents a low intensity use of the site and
does not pose any adverse impacts on the surrounding dining, entertainment and commercial
businesses. As demonstrated by the Example Timetable (Figure 5) the client attendance will be
generally outside of peak business hours. Therefore, the proposed use will not negatively impact
upon the existing uses within Noosa Junction.

Sufficient carparking infrastructure will be provided to meet the demands of the proposed strength
and conditioning studio as demonstrated by Table 4. The use will not produce excessive noise or,
odour, or other waste.

The proposed Indoor Sport and Recreation use is well located to provide the Noosa Heads
residential population with a quality fitness and training service and provides a further recreational
facility for visitors and residents.

The proposed use is consistent with the Purpose and desire Overall Outcomes for the locality.
