Planning Report - Studio Pilates · MCU20/0110

(1) The purpose of the Noosa Heads local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions
for the assessment of development within the Noosa Heads local plan area.
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosa Heads local plan area:
     (j) Noosa Junction functions as a major activity centre providing a range of goods and services
     for residents and visitors in a predominantly multi-tenancy ‘main street’ form with a strong
     relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The redevelopment of the former Bowls site
     provides for a new road connection from Noosa Drive through to Lanyana Way as well as an
     activated public open space area.
     (p) Residents of Noosa Heads enjoy high levels of residential amenity and convenience to urban
     services and recreational opportunities.
     (y) The Noosa Heads locality provides a range of community and sports and recreational uses
     which support both residents and visitors.



Comment: The proposed Indoor Sport and Recreation use is a reuse of an existing building in a
retail and office building. The proposed development is compatible with the existing nature and
character of Lanyana Way. The use presents a low intensity use of the site and does not pose any
adverse impacts on the surrounding dining, entertainment and commercial businesses. As
demonstrated by the Example Studio Timetable (Table 3) the client attendance will be generally
outside of peak business hours. Therefore, the proposed use will not negatively impact upon the
existing uses within Noosa Junction.

Sufficient carparking infrastructure will be provided to meet the demands of the proposed Pilates
Studio as demonstrated by Table 4. The use will not produce excessive noise or, odour, or other
waste.

The proposed Pilates Studio is well located to provide the Noosa Heads residential population with
a quality fitness and training service and provides a further recreational facility for visitors and
residents.

The proposed use is consistent with the Purpose and desire Overall Outcomes for the locality.
