This planning report has been prepared for the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club (SBSLSC) being

Change of Use of Premises for an Entertainment and dining business Type 1 Food & Beverages and
Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness on the site. The Type 1 use is deemed impact assessable
development and the Type 2 code assessable development under the provisions of the Noosa Plan
2006 and the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
