7.         Noosa Plan Considerations

7.1        Locality and Zone
The subject property is located in the Noosaville Locality within the Industry Zone of the Noosa Council. The
following extracts are taken from the Noosaville Locality Plan in Part 11 of the Noosa Plan 2017 and state the
relevant overall outcomes for the Noosaville Locality.

9.7.2              Overall outcomes for the Noosaville Locality
a) New uses and works are located, designed and managed to—
       i be compatible with other uses and works;
       ii maintain the safety of people and works;
       iii avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other premises or surrounding
       area, including acoustic and visual qualities; and
       iv avoid significant adverse effects on the natural environment, including native habitat removal,
       fragmentation and attrition;

j) Residents of the Noosaville Locality enjoy high levels of convenience and accessibility to urban services;

l) Accessibility to recreational opportunities provides residents and visitors with valued lifestyle opportunities;

ee) Significant retail and commercial uses provide residents and visitors with a range of low to high order goods
and services;

vv) For the Industry Zone—land in this zone—

         iv does not accommodate uses that would harm the environment through excessive noise, odour, dust,
         or other waste;
         v is developed in a fashion that does not detract from the character of its locality or impact on the
         major road network;
         vii provides for a high level of runoff water quality to Eenie Creek and Lake Doonella
Comment:
The proposed personal fitness studio is consistent with the Overall Outcomes for the Noosaville Locality. The
use presents a low intensity use of the site and does not pose any adverse impacts on the surrounding existing
industrial businesses as evidenced by other gyms and dance studios existing harmoniously with industrial uses.
The existing adjoining uses are predominantly warehouse type uses (plumbing and agricultural feed supplies)
with no industrial manufacturing occurring and the fitness studio will be compatible with these uses.
There will be negligible vehicular traffic generated as a result of the proposed personal fitness studio with a
maximum of six participants per class attending prior to 9.30am and after 5.00pm. These hours are
complimentary with the other existing uses on site where possible peak loads for car parking are staggered due
to the differing uses occurring.
Previous recent approvals by Council for a Gymnasium in Selkirk Drive recognised the peak times within fitness
centres and the potential loading on existing parking infrastructure. The small scale use proposed falls well
within the accepted car parking parameters Noosa Council has previously accepted.

                                                                                                                      18
