MCU17/0005 - IDAS Application - 113 Marara St Cooroy

                           Sunshine Coast Paintball Development Application 2017




The Proposal
Sunshine Coast Paintball
Business Location

The Sunshine Coast Paintball site would be conveniently located only minutes from the main town
of Cooroy at a large acerage at 113 Marara Street. This is an ideal location due to close proximity
to the Bruce Highway and having few residential houses nearby. A church building has been
currently established on the property.

Facilities
Car Parking

The existing church building has a 50 car parking capacity which is excess to the needs of the
maximum players allowed during each session (20 persons). Patron cars will be restricted to a
maximum of 10 vehicles per session. Hope Central Church has had one average 50 vehicles each
week on the property for services without complaints over the last 10 years. Therefore there are
no foreseeable issues with parking.

Toilets

Existing toilets are already established within the church building which caters for male, female
and disabled patrons.

Considerations
Noise

A noise assessment was carried out by Alpha Acoustics in August 2016. The report found that
noise emissions from the proposed development site complied with both: Noosa Council noise
limits and The Department of Environmental, and Heritage Protection - Environmental Protection
(Noise) Policy 2008 noise limits. A copy of this report has been made available in the Supporting
Documentation section of this application.

Lighting

For workplace health and safety requirements all 3 fields will have sufficient lighting installed for
night events. The lighting has been arranged to face towards the existing church building and
away from the bush areas. Having the lights facing away will reduce any impact of the light to
animals or wildlife that may inhabit the area. Because the property is sloped, the three fields
would be positioned lower than the road and lighting would have a negligible effect on the
railroad, roads or surrounding residential properties. Please find the attached lighting diagrams in
relation to the fields in Figure 2.

Access Protection and Netting

A 2.1m metal fence will be installed to restrict any access to the property which will extend the
length of the property. The only point of entry will be through the main office to ensure all
patrons, members of the general public and staff are safe at all times. The fields will be fully
enclosed with 4m netted fence lines which will be erected within 15m of the metal fencing. For a
detailed plan please refer to Figure 2.
