Town Planning Report

   •   Does not accommodate uses that would harm the environment through excessive
       noise, odour, dust, or other waste;
   •   Is developed in a fashion that does not detract from the character of its locality
       or impact on the major road network;
   •   Provides important industries and services-related businesses to the whole of
       Noosa, but particularly the coastal area and the north-east area of the former
       Maroochy Shire; and
   •   Provides for a high level of runoff water quality to Eenie Creek and Lake Dooella;

Based on the overall zoning objectives stated above the proposed Swim School would
generally be in accordance with the Industry objectives based on these defined reasons –

   •   The proposed use of the premises for the purpose of a swim school defined as a
       ‘Business Use – Entertainment Dining Business – Type 2 Recreation, amusement
       & Fitness: the premises shall be exclusively used for the purposes of swimming
       lessons, providing a valuable service to the community.
   •   The facility increases the wide range of commercial land uses within the overall
       locality and therefore increases the patronage and required users access to
       localities to ensure a wide range of clients enter this area increasing the viability
       of goods and services within the area of the subject site.
   •   The swim school creates a defined need for provisions of employment basis
       increasing opportunities for food business and employment of staff associated
       with running the Swim School.
   •   The use of the Swim School has a user-friendly image and does not have any
       defined adverse impacts for the commercial locality. The hours of operation align
       with the mix of commercial activities and businesses within the area.
   •   The associated community service uses of the Swim School would be compatible
       to the surrounding community as the residential aspects within close proximity to
       proposal would be able to have indoor swimming facilities and associated classes
       within driving and walking distances.
   •   No building works to the existing tenancy other than internal fitout which is easily
       removed and adaptable to different uses should the Swim School cease to
       operate.
   •   The proposed swim school is proposed to be co-located with the existing Noosa
       Cross-Fit Gym, which is defined as the same type of use under the planning
       scheme.
