Planning Report - Studio Pilates · MCU20/0110

1.   Summary

RG Strategic has prepared this development application on behalf of FGT PTY LTD. The subject site
comprises a rectangle parcel of land located at Shop 3, 24 Lanyana Way, Noosa Heads and is
formally described as Lot 1 on RP129285as shown on Figure 1 Site Location Plan.

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for a Development Permit for a Material Change of
Use for an Indoor Sport and Recreation use.

The site is included in the Major Centre Zone and Noosa Junction Hospitality Precinct within the
Noosa Heads Locality of the Noosa Plan 2020. An application of this nature within the Major Centre
Zone triggers Code Assessment.

The proposed use will be located within the existing building located within Noosa Junction. The
site has been previously cleared of all vegetation and the existing building is intended to remain
unchanged as part of this proposal. The proposed pilates studio comprises:

         •     85m2 of pilates reformer studio area,

         •     21m2 of reception area, and

         •     14m2 of storage area.

The proposed development of this site constitutes ‘development’ as defined by Schedule 2 of the
Planning Act 2016. This report demonstrates that the proposed Material Change of Use of Premises
for an Indoor Sport and Recreation use (Pilates Studio) is permitted.

This planning report provides greater detail of the nature of the proposal, describes the site
characteristics and surrounding land uses, and provides a statutory assessment against the intents
and code requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020. These matters are set out in;

             • Proposed development intent;
             • Description of the characteristics of site and surrounds;

             • Proposed development details;

             • An assessment of the proposal against the State planning interests;
             • An assessment of the proposal against the SEQ Regional Plan;
             • An assessment of the proposal against the Noosa Plan 2020; and
             • A conclusion that summarises the grounds which support the proposed development.


This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA Form 1 and
Appendix A Proposed Site Plan. This report comprehensively addresses the merits of the
development with regard to the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 and other relevant matters as
prescribed in the Planning Act 2016. The development is appropriate and is not anticipated to
impact upon the amenity of the locality. Council’s approval of the application is therefore sought,
subject to relevant and reasonable conditions.
