9         Conclusion
The above development application has been submitted to the Noosa Council as the Assessment
Manager of the application under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. This application seeks a
Development Permit for a Material Change of Use of Premises for extension and alterations to the
Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club. The proposal works have been defined as requiring a
Development Permit for Entertainment and dining business Type 1 Food & Beverages and Type 2
Recreation, amusement & fitness on the site which are impact and code assessable development
under the Noosa Plan 2006.

The proposed works will result in a substantially improved facility for the SBSLSC with improved
functionality that rejuvenates the existing 30 year old building and surrounds. The new building provides
an attractive and iconic built form that is reflective of the privileged position that the club holds and will
establish a new community hub and focal point for the locality and the entire Shire.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as provided in detail in the above report.
These grounds include:
               The proposed Entertainment and dining business Type 1 Food & Beverages and Type 2
               Recreation, amusement & fitness uses are consistent in the Open Space Recreation zone;
               The proposed extensions and alterations comply with most of the outcomes of the relevant
               Codes and Overlays and the areas of compliance such as setbacks are minor;
               The proposal involves the retention of the ground floor areas of the building with replacement
               of upper floor levels and therefore substantially uses the existing building footprint;
               The alterations improve the functionality of the operations of the club through expanded
               reception, foyer, office, kitchen and storage areas as well as additional plant and service
               areas which bring the building into line with industry standards;
               The proposed building respects the surrounding area by focusing public areas away from
               residential areas and following the contours of the site;
               The proposal recognises that Surf Clubs are an iconic and cultural feature of coastal beaches
               with the resultant design respectful of the surrounding areas.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended.
