Proposal Report       Proposed Material Change of Use of Premises for an Entertainment and dining business Type 1 Food & Beverages and
Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness (extensions and alterations to a Surf Club) over land at 4 The Esplanade, Sunshine Beach and
described as lot 126 on CP845336 and Lot 5 on SP269274
Applicant: Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club

        Privacy of the southern neighbouring houses is architecturally designed with both visual and
        acoustic considerations. Screening to windows and small outdoor areas are provided to the limited
        access zones on the south. Roof plant is discreetly pocketed within the structure and exhausts are
        disguised as roof such that a clean form presents. ‘Back of house’ ugliness is thus avoided through
        considered design ensuring the best outcome for a building framed by the park and the beach.

        Roofing the outdoor pedestrian dining areas is a very important consideration for climatic
        functionality. With respect to the neighbouring apartments these areas have low lightweight
        structures incorporating decorative battening. In some areas these will be planted with vines.
        Visually simpler than mass umbrellas and functionally better, these elegant structures are a
        cohesive element of the new architecture whilst remaining visually unobtrusive to the neighbouring
        properties.

        The club is important to the community as a hub for socialising, the celebration of significant events
        and as a tourism facility. The architecture seeks to enhance the experience of all users of the club
        from lifesavers, staff, local membership and visiting tourists. The architecture is responsive in both
        social sustainability and environmental sustainability. As a significant building for the community, it
        is iconic in location and in architectural form. The club has sought architectural excellence in
        understanding the importance of all these factors.


Carparking

The existing lease area is currently filled by the existing surf club building and deck area. Due to the
constraints of the lease area and existing structures no additional carparking is able to be provided on
site. It is noted that a public car parking area exists immediately to the north of the club premises and
vehicular access to the actives and nippers area is provided along the northern side of the building
through Ed Webb Park.
