MCU DA - LiFT - S15 29 Sunshine Beach Rd, NH - Planning Report

1.   Summary

RG Strategic has prepared this development application on behalf of LiFT Strength and
Conditioning. The subject site comprises of Shop 15 within the Noosa Cine Centre at 29 Sunshine
Beach Road, Noosa Heads. The site is formally described as Lot 15 on SP111607 as shown on Figure
1 Site Location Plan.

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for a Development Permit for a Material Change of
Use for an Indoor Sport and Recreation use. Importantly, the Indoor Sport and Recreation use is
proposed to only part of the tenancy (Shop 15).

The site is included in the Major Centre Zone and Noosa Junction Hospitality Precinct within the
Noosa Heads Locality of the Noosa Plan 2020. An application of this nature within the Major Centre
Zone triggers Code Assessment. The proposed use will be located within the existing building
located within Noosa Junction. The exterior of the existing building is intended to remain unchanged
as part of this proposal. The proposed Indoor Sport and Recreation comprises:

         •     150m2 of studio area,

         •     7m2 of office and storage area, and

         •     11m2 of amenities area.

The proposed development of this site constitutes ‘development’ as defined by Schedule 2 of the
Planning Act 2016. This report demonstrates that the proposed Material Change of Use of Premises
for an Indoor Sport and Recreation use is permitted.

This planning report provides greater detail of the nature of the proposal, describes the site
characteristics and surrounding land uses, and provides a statutory assessment against the intents
and code requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020. These matters are set out in;

             • Proposed development intent;

             • Description of the characteristics of site and surrounds;
             • Proposed development details;
             • An assessment of the proposal against the State planning interests;

             • An assessment of the proposal against the SEQ Regional Plan;

             • An assessment of the proposal against the Noosa Plan 2020; and
             • A conclusion that summarises the grounds which support the proposed development.


This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA Form 1 and
Appendix A Proposed Site Plan. This report comprehensively addresses the merits of the
development with regard to the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 and other relevant matters as
prescribed in the Planning Act 2016. The development is appropriate and is not anticipated to
impact upon the amenity of the locality. Council’s approval of the application is therefore sought,
subject to relevant and reasonable conditions.
