Town Planning Report

5.   Additional Planning Considerations
     5.1    Waste Management
     The existing site has a waste collection point which will be utilised by the proposed land use.
     All waste associated with the fit-out of the site will be collected in a skip bin located within
     the tenancy during construction and emptied as required.

     Given the proposed use of the site as a swim school there will be very little waste generated
     from the site on an ongoing basis. Waste generated from the site will be incorporate a
     typical small office / retail waste stream including paper and general waste. In addition to
     this when children come to site, this will generate waste nappies from younger children. All
     waste can be easily disposed of in either a small commercial bin or standard wheelie bin and
     picked up on a weekly basis.

     5.2     Amenity
     The use is not anticipated to have a negative impact on surrounding land uses given the
     proposal seeks a change of use only and internal fit-out and will complement the existing
     commercial character of the area. Given the scale of the proposed use and the operating
     hours between 7am – 8pm Monday to Sunday the development will not have any impact on
     the amenity of the surrounding locality as the use is entirely contained within an existing
     building with no openings to the rear of the tenancy open during the hours of operation. It
     is also noted that there is an existing tenancy – Noosa Cross-Fit Gym within the same
     complex. These two uses are compatible and similarly defined under the Noosa Plan 2006.
