Planning Report - 14-16 Mary Street, Noosaville - Bounce Hostels 15.6.2018

Managing Areas and Times
We expect a range of different guests with each of them desiring a different experience. Some will want
to stick to themselves and have a quiet, relaxing time whilst others will want to socialise and meet
people.
We have designed this building to have many different areas catering to these needs. A lot of lounges
and quiet areas to read, work online and relax. We have also created a contained social area that the
building wraps around. Having one social area is the key to control. We have designed it so it is close to
reception so there will always be staff supervising guests. Having this area in this location also limits
noise for neighbors.
As it gets later in the evening the outdoor areas will close and we will offer a few very straight forward
options for guests which include:
    •     Go to bed.
    •     Move into dining area (Photograph 5)– This area is purposefully designed on the Southern side
          of the property where the business is located next door. It is as far away from the residential
          side as possible. When guests are using this area after hours the staff will make sure that all
          doors and windows are closed to eliminate noise for other guests.

    •     Offer free shuttles and/or buses to Hastings St. In general, this is the preferred option for the
          guests and staff. It is extremely effective in Sydney. The group departs together and return in
          small groups of twos and threes which is very easy to manage for overnight staff.


Free Transport
We will have regular shuttles to/from Hastings Street and the bus depot. We will have bikes available
for guests to use for free and we’ll encourage the ride into Hastings Street and around the National
Park. As few guests will have their own transport we will highlight the public transport option to get to
other destinations in the Noosa area.
