Planning Report - Studio Pilates · MCU20/0110

   Amenity

Studio Pilates Noosa will utilise low level background music into their classes. However, the proposal
does not include high intensity workouts, nor the associated music that is common with those gym
operations (e.g. F45 training). We recognise that they may be perceived noise impacts and as such
are willing to accept conditions which limits noise levels at adjoining commercial tenancies at no
greater than background noise level plus 10 dB(A).

The nearest residential property is approximately 185 metres away (adjacent to Coles supermarket),
so no impact on residence amenity will be associated with the proposed use. .




   Staffing

Staff are available on site during opening hours to assist with member inquiries, and to provide the
following programs:

          • Pilates body assessments,

          • Personal and group classes, and

          • Specialised training.




   Carparking

As illustrated within the Site Plans (Appendix A) prepared by Studio Collective, a minor
reconfiguration to the internal layout is proposed to accommodate the Indoor Sport and
Recreation use. It is noted that several areas of the studio do not contribute to actual car parking
generation and these include the reception and storage areas of 21m2 and 14m2 respectfully. The
Pilates Studio has a total Gross Floor Area of 120m2 as identified within the Proposed and Existing
Approved Plans (Appendices A and B).

The prescribed carparking requirements have been calculated utilising the rates specified within the
Noosa Plan 2020 and is listed in Table 4. For consistency, the assessment of the proposal should
have regard to the existing approval (MCU14/0016.01) under the Noosa Plan 2006 and the current
carparking requirements of a Shop under the Noosa Plan 2020.
