RE:    Response to Information Request (MCU18/0162) Material Change of Use -
Entertainment & Dining Type 2 Recreation, Amusement & Fitness (Gym) – situated
at 4 Project Ave, Noosaville (31/RP886551)

Council issued a further information request on 29 October 2018. The applicant provides
the following additional information in response to the ten (10) items:

   1. Clarify all uses proposed for the site.
   2. Amend the application and plans to include all of the uses operating on the
      property.
   3. Provide amended plans which accurately detail and reflect the use area of all
      the uses operating on the property.

A separate application (MCU18/0178) has recently been lodged for all other uses on the
combined three (3) sites associated with the Thomas Surfboard Factory.

This application for the gym use is being applied for separately, as this proposal relates to
the use of 4 Project Ave only. A use plan is included as part of MCU18/0178, which clarifies
the proposed use of the site/s.


   4. Provide amended plans which include the mezzanine floor and additional
      use area of the mezzanine floor within the car parking calculation for the site.
   5. Provide amended plans which demonstrate that each parking space
      (specifically the motor cycle and motor scooter spaces) can function when
      all other spaces are occupied.
   6. Provide a car parking assessment based on the car parking requirements for
      the use area of each use operating on the site as per The Noosa Plan,
      demonstrating compliance. It is noted that a rate of 1 space per 50m2 has
      been incorrectly applied to the gym use.

Please find attached amended proposal plans including 115m2 of ground floor and 13m2
of mezzanine floor use area (total 128m2). The existing building was originally constructed
at a rate of 1 car space per 50m2 of gross floor area, with 9 parking spaces provided for
the 450m2 building. Considering the proposed gym’s size, 2.55 spaces are attributed to
the gym use area and 6.45 spaces to the existing Industrial business.

Four (4) onsite motor scooter spaces are provided for, and do not interfere with the existing
parking spaces. The proposal plan has been updated to clarify the location of the motor
scooter parking and use area table.
