The additions are located at the rear of the site, will be finished to complement the existing building
and meet the relevant setback, landscaping and height provisions for the Industry zone. Waste
associated with the business will be minimal and able to be serviced by a general rubbish and
recycling wheelie bins, to be stored in a screened location at the front of the site. No service trucks
are required to access the site for the gym use.

4.1.1 Sport and Recreation Use within an Industry Zone
The Overall Outcomes of the Industry Zone seek land is protected for industrial functions to the
exclusion of incompatible uses including Residential Uses, Community Uses, Commercial business
and most Sport and Recreation uses and Retail business uses. Although the proposed fitness
use is inconsistent within the Industry Zone, it is acknowledged some sport and recreational uses
are accepted.

Fitness gyms are floor area consumptive and somewhat difficult to locate in Business Centre zones,
with several development approvals for these uses given in the Industrial zone over the last 12 years
since The Noosa Plan’s commencement.

The proposed fitness gym is located within an existing industrial building with minor building works
required for toilets and additional floor area. The size and scale of the building floor area is larger
than other gym uses approved in Industrial Zones within Noosaville, including the 158m2 fitness
studio/martial arts centre at 63 Rene Street (MCU12/0004), and Crossfit Noosa (originally Body By
Muir) at 9/5 Commerce Ct (132003.220966.2) which is 140m2.

Given the nature of the adjoining service industry uses and tenancy sizes, the proposed
entertainment and dining use is complementary. The proposed entertainment and dining use is
compatible with the Industry Zone and meets the relevant Overall Outcomes of the Noosaville
Locality Code.

4.1.2 Carparking
The Driveways and Carparking Code requires sufficient parking to be provided onsite for the specific
business type/nature of the use, with consideration given to any existing parking onsite, hours of
operation, likely number of users and peak parking demand periods.

The Probable Solutions for onsite parking prescribe a rate of 1 space per 20m2 of use area, or 1
space per 3 persons capable of being entertained at any one time. As part of a previous approval
for a gymnasium within the Noosaville Industry zone, Council’s traffic consultant concluded that a
rate of 1.5 persons per car space is considered appropriate and reflective of the likely parking
demand for a fitness centre (MCU16/0137).

Considering the 1.5 person parking rate previously adopted by Council for a fitness centre, the
applicant is willing to accept conditions to manage parking impacts including:

      Fitness classes limited to no more than 19 clients at any one time;
      The start times of classes must be staggered, with each class having a 15 minute break
       between the conclusion of the class and beginning of the next.

The proposed fitness gym use will be managed in conjunction with the existing industrial uses and
there is sufficient carparking available on site to address likely parking demands for the nature of the
