5. Proposed Development Details

5.1 Material Change of Use

This application is seeking a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use to establish a Pilates
Studio (Indoor Sport and Recreation use) on the site. The proposed Pilates Studio (KX Pilates) is a
consistent use as defined within the Noosa Plan 2020.

The use will occupy Unit 1 within an existing industrial duplex complex and no alteration to the
external built form is proposed. The proposed use represents an appropriate reuse of the existing
vacant tenancy.

The proposal includes a reconfiguration of the internal layout of the unit and external layout of the
carparking area and line marking as illustrated within the Proposed Site Plans prepared by RG
Strategic (Appendix A).

Pilates can be extremely beneficial - physically, mentally and emotionally. It can be suitable for
recovery from injury, injury prevention, pre- and post-natal, general fitness and wellbeing, and is a
safe and effective exercise method, suitable for all levels of fitness. Photograph 2 illustrates the
typical studio layout of the reformer beds at KX Pilates.

KX Pilates will offer timetabled small group classes limited to 12-14 clients at one time to provide high
quality movement education to their clients. During the day when group classes are not in operation,
private sessions will be available to clients for 1 to participants.
