Group and private Pilates classes will be 40-45 minutes in duration. Pilates workshops will be offered
occasionally and may run over several hours. Each class will be run by one full time staff member
plus part-time/casual staff member. Class numbers will be limited to 10 people based on the
number of reformers, with an average class size of 7 (seven) people.

It is proposed that the studio will operate 7 days a week, with operating hours from 5:00AM to 7:30PM
to accommodate a range of clients and their availability. As noted in the Example Studio Timetable
(Figure 4) Studio Pilates generally operates in blocks of time. For example:

     •   5:00am - 11:00am

    •    12:00pm - 1:00pm

    •    3:30pm - 7:30pm

This operating model allows classes to be staggered throughout the day and to be offered at times
which suit the customers.

The proposed operating hours are consistent with the other existing Indoor Sport and Recreation
uses, as well as the business, retail and dining uses within the Noosa Junction precinct. The following
is a list of existing gyms/fitness operators within the precinct and their operating hours:

    •    Franks Gym – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    •    Caza Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – 6AM to 8PM, 6 days a week.

    •    Bare Bones Movement Pilates – 6AM to 6:30PM, 6 days a week.

The proposed studio will not result in any negative affects on the surrounding amenity.
