               REPORT
               1.     PROPOSAL
               The applicant seeks minor changes to the 1988 Town Planning Consent (Netball Clubhouse) and
               subsequent 2021 minor change (Pickleball courts and changerooms) approvals, including removal
               and replacement of the existing netball clubhouse with a new 210m2 clubhouse building. The
               proposal includes:
               •    10 new unisex toilets (including PWD);
               •    Social room, first aid, canteen, meeting room and store;
               •    Accessible ramps are provided with grandstand seating facing the courts
               •    Fibre cement rendered building with gable roof form; and
               •    Amended carparking layout to include 17 spaces adjoining the clubhouse.
               The applicant has provided the following commentary regarding the proposed relocation of the
               clubhouse:
                      Noosa Council endorsed the Noosa District Sports Complex Master Plan (the “Master Plan”)
                      in 2020. A key recommendation in the Master Plan is to create a link road through the
                      Complex connecting the McKinnon Drive entrance at the north to the Butler St entrance to
                      the South of the Complex.
                      The Sport and Active Lifestyles team have been working closely with the Noosa District
                      Netball Association and the State appointed Project Managers (RPS) on the rebuild of the
                      netball clubhouse located at the Noosa District Sports Complex.
                      In consultation with Council's infrastructure staff we have requested that the clubhouse be
                      rebuilt in the alternative location presented in the plans in the Development Application. This
                      is to facilitate:
                      •       Internal road and the McKinnon Drive entrance upgrades as recommended in the
                              endorsed Noosa District Sports Complex Master Plan.
                      •       A future widening of the access road to facilitate safe and compliant vehicle movement
                              on the internal access road. Currently the road is unable to be widened due to the close
                              proximity of the existing building and other infrastructure on the site i.e. The Olive
                              Donaldson Pavilion, utility services. The relocation of the clubhouse will enable the
                              physical space to widen the road for two-way vehicle movement.
                      •       The opportunity to improve pedestrian movement safety by creating formal crossing
                              points and pathways through both the formal, on street and gravels car parks in the
                              northern area of the site. (As part of the future carpark road upgrades).
