Minor Change - Planning Report

This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA Form and
Appendices. 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.

2.      Background

On 14 October 1998 Council approved a Development approval for a Material Change of use for a
showroom and professional offices. Prior to this the site was subject to a Plan of development which
permitted indoor entertainment uses and consequently the following use was approved.

On 16 March 2000 Council approved a Material change of use for Indoor Entertainment / Martial
arts, being the former area of the professional offices on the upper floor. This application seeks to
change a portion of the approved floor area of this approval to a fitness centre. The balance portion
remains as approved.



2.1 Engagement with Council Officers

RG Strategic has previously engaged with Noosa Council in regard to the proposed redesign of the
site.

Informal discussions with Council Officers (Planning Coordinator Nadine Gorton) have focused on,

     •    Existing approval,

     •    Proposed use, and

     •    Car parking requirements at time of approval and Car parking requirements under the
          Noosa Plan 2020.
