                  Assessment Type               Impact

               EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
               This report assesses an application seeking approval for a Material Change of Use to facilitate
               Indoor Sport and Recreation within five (5) existing tenancies at 26 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville,
               described as Lot 22 SP322201.
               The subject site is already developed under an existing approval for a Material Change of Use for
               Commercial Business Type 1 (Office) and Commercial Business Type 2 (Medical). The approved
               development comprises a two-storey building with a two-level basement predominantly used for
               car parking.
               The application proposes to retain the existing built form while changing the use of five (5)
               tenancies to Indoor Sport and Recreation. The applicant seeks greater leasing flexibility and
               therefore proposes a land use that will complement the existing primary tenants of the building,
               being medical uses.
               Each tenancy was originally developed in accordance with an approval assessed under the Noosa
               Plan 2006, thus allowing for tenancies which have an area less than the 400m² sought under the
               current scheme. This means the existing tenancy layout does not align with the intended function
               of the Showroom Precinct, which is to accommodate large-format tenancies which can be used for
               a range of uses including Indoor Sport and Recreation where the tenancy is greater than 400m2 of
               gross floor area.
               Importantly, these smaller tenancies form part of an already approved and established
               development and are of a scale to complement the primary medical uses on the site. In this context,
               they operate as ancillary spaces rather than standalone large format tenancies.
               It is acknowledged that the existing approval and built form constrain the site’s ability—particularly
               the upper-level tenancies—to function as large format spaces consistent with the precinct’s intent.
               The configuration, scale, and vertical separation of these tenancies limit their suitability for the
               large-format retail outcomes envisioned under the Noosa Plan.
               The proposed Indoor Sport and Recreation uses are somewhat complementary to the existing
               medical centre, particularly as they involve low-impact health and wellness activities. These uses
               are compatible with the established mix of development on the site and support an integrated
               health and wellbeing offering. The proposal represents a practical and appropriate utilisation of the
               approved built form.
               The application is recommended for approval subject to conditions as outlined in the body of this
               report.
               No submissions were received during the public notification period.
               RECOMMENDATION
               That Council note the report by the Senior Development Planner to the General Committee
               Meeting dated 7 July 2026 regarding Application No. MCU25/0119 for a Development Permit for
               Material Change of Use - Indoor Sport and Recreation situated at 26 Eenie Creek Rd Noosaville

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                           7 JULY 2026


               A.     Approve the application in accordance with the proposed conditions outlined in Attachment
                      1.
               B.     Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
               C.     Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason to approve the
                      application:
                      1.      The co-location of Indoor Sport and Recreation uses with established medical services
                              such as radiology, cancer treatment and general practitioners creates a
                              complementary health and wellness cluster. This integrated approach is consistent with
                              the strategic intent to encourage industry clustering and efficient use of existing
                              approved floor space within the Noosa Business Centre.
                      2.      In terms of community wellbeing, the development enhances accessibility to a broad
                              range of health, fitness and recovery services within a single, centrally located facility.
                              The co-location of services improves convenience and supports the delivery of multi-
                              purpose, shared spaces, consistent with the planning scheme’s objectives for vibrant
                              and inclusive activity centres. It also reinforces the role of the Noosa Business Centre
                              as a key hub for health and community services.
                      3.      While the proposed Indoor Sport and Recreation tenancies do not align with the
                              intended large-format function of the precinct, they form part of an existing approved
                              development and are designed to operate in a complementary to the medical uses
                              within the building.
                      4.      The proposal is an appropriate use of the approved built form, supporting the functional
                              integration of health-related services within the Major Centre Zone of the Noosa
                              Business Centre.

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                          7 JULY 2026


               2.       BACKGROUND
               On 16 September 2021, Council at it’s Ordinary Meeting resolved to agree to a request to assess
               an application for Commercial Business Type 1 Office and Commercial Business Type 2 Medical
               on future lot 22, being the subject site, under the Superseded Planning Scheme (Noosa Plan
               2006).
               The subject site now benefits from an approval granted on 18 August 2022 for a Material Change
               of Use - Commercial Business Type 1 Office & Type 2 Medical which was assessed under the
               2006 Noosa Plan. This permit approved a two-storey building and two-storey basement, with a
               total gross floor area of 2,170m2. The floor area was approved to be used interchangeably between
               Commercial Business Type 1 - Office and Commercial Business Type 2 – Medical.
               Two (2) subsequent minor change applications were lodged over the site.
                    •    Minor change application MCU22/0038.01 was approved 20 April 2023, primarily relating
                         to the “relocation” of 93m² of approved use area from the ground floor to basement ‘level
                         02’ for the purpose of a built radiation treatment facility. The changes involved the reduction
                         of carparking from 104 to 96 spaces which was offset by a reduction in the GFA as the
                         relocated use area was within the basement. The reduction in carparking was supported
                         based on conditions being imposed to ensure the oncology use was linked to the radiation
                         bunker.
                    •    Minor change application MCU22/0038.02 was approved 19 February 2025 which allowed
                         the removal of two parking spaces in ‘Basement 1’ to relocate fire pumps from the southern
                         property boundary of the site parallel to Eenie Creek Road to the southeastern property
                         boundary towards the rear of the development site. The approval additionally included
                         changes to the location of the bicycle spaces and footpath alignment.
               3.       SITE DETAILS
               3.1. Site Description
               The site is legally described as Lot 22 SP322201, 26 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville. The lot is
               irregularly shaped and includes a 10-metre vegetation covenant along the northern boundary. The
               site is one of the main gateways into the Business Centre.
               3.2. Surrounding Land Uses
               The existing development is situated within the established Noosa Civic Shopping Centre,
               adjoining Hoffman Drive and Eenie Creek Road.
               To the southeast of the site are showroom tenancies and associated uses, while directly to the
               south lies the retail centre within the Noosa Business Centre – Retail Precinct. This precinct
               comprises a diverse mix of shops, health care services, food and drink outlets, service industries,
               offices, and indoor sport and recreation uses.
               The broader area north of the site includes a range of low impact industrial uses, Good Shepherd
               Lutheran College, and the Noosa Domain Retirement Village. To the west, land is occupied by low
               and medium impact industrial activities. Significant areas of open space and conservation land
               containing remnant vegetation are located to the greater south and east and are preserved as
               National Park or Environmental Reserve.

               4.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
               State Planning Policy
               Noosa Plan 2020 is generally consistent with the State Planning Policy July 2017 (SPP) and the
               SPP raises no further issues relevant to the proposed development.
               Shaping SEQ 2023 (South East Queensland Regional Plan)
               The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is consistent
               with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
               Planning Regulation 2017

               The subject site is located in Noosaville and is zoned Major Centre. The proposed use is identified
               as an inconsistent use within the zone and is required to follow an impact assessable application
               process.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments.
               4.3.1 Strategic Framework
               The Strategic Framework sets the policy direction for the planning scheme and forms the basis for
               ensuring appropriate development occurs in the planning scheme area for the life of the planning
               scheme. The Strategic Intent in the Strategic Framework includes the following statements:
               3.2 Strategic Intent
               3.2.2 A well managed and sustainable Noosa Shire
               Cohesive and resilient communities
               … Informal and formal sport and recreation facilities, social infrastructure and venues provide
               opportunities to meet, learn, and be active and creative.
               Active and healthy communities
               …There is an increasing demand for health services to support the needs of an older population.
               This includes both conventional medical services and complementary wellness industries. The
               Noosa Hospital provides important local medical services with supporting specialist and
               complementary services located nearby in the existing Goodchap Street centre and within the Mary
               Street/Thomas Street precinct. There is opportunity for further health services to cluster at the
               Noosa Business Centre.
               3.3 Strategic Outcomes
               3.3.2 Community Wellbeing
               The strategic outcomes for community wellbeing by 2041 are:
               ….
                    h. A wide variety of spaces and services provide for health and wellness, sport and recreation,
                       education, creative arts, social interaction and spiritual growth. New and upgraded facilities
                       are designed to maximise accessibility and flexibility to adopt to changing needs.
                    j.   Multiple use and shared facilities are encouraged to ensure efficient provision of services.
                         Community services coexist with business and recreation functions in vibrant activity
                         centres of different scales.
                    k. Development provides for additional educational and health services, particularly at the
                       Noosa Business Centre.
               Comment:
               The proposed development application is generally consistent with the Strategic Framework of the
               Noosa Plan 2020, responding effectively to key challenges including the changing nature of
               businesses, an ageing population, and the need for flexible, health-focused services.
               The adaptable tenancies enable a range of indoor sport, recreation and wellness uses, supporting
               the existing established uses. The focus on low-impact health and wellbeing activities also aligns
               with the increasing demand for services that support active ageing and preventative healthcare.
               The proposal makes a positive contribution to the local economy by supporting diversification,
               particularly within the priority health and wellness sector. The co-location of indoor recreation uses
               with established medical services such as radiology, cancer treatment and general practitioners
               creates a complementary health and wellness cluster. This integrated approach is consistent with
               the strategic intent to encourage industry clustering and efficient use of existing approved floor
               space within the Noosa Business Centre.

               In terms of community wellbeing, the development enhances accessibility to a broad range of
               health, fitness and recovery services within a single, centrally located facility. The co-location of
               services improves convenience and supports the delivery of multi-purpose, shared spaces,
               consistent with the planning scheme’s objectives for vibrant and inclusive activity centres. It also
               reinforces the role of the Noosa Business Centre as a key hub for health and community services.
               While the proposed change of use from Medical Centre and Office to Indoor Sport and Recreation
               may be perceived as reducing the availability of allied health space, it is noted that there is an
               established network of medical and allied health facilities within Noosaville and the wider Noosa
               Shire. These include the Mary Street precinct, Goodchap Street Medical Centre, and the Noosa
               Specialist Medical Centre on Hofmann Drive, which collectively continue to meet community
               demand for medical and allied health services.
               Overall, the proposal represents an appropriate and compatible use within the Major Centre Zone,
               activating existing upper-level floor space without adverse impacts on surrounding tenancies or
               amenity. It strengthens the diversity of land uses within the centre, supports employment
               opportunities, and aligns with the strategic outcomes for a resilient economy, healthy community,
               and well-functioning activity centres.
               4.3.2 Noosaville Local Plan
               The subject site is located within the Noosaville Local Plan Area and is situated within the Noosa
               Business Centre off Eenie Creek Road, is a Major regional activity centre identified in the South
               East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 providing a wide range of centre activities to meet the local
               needs of communities across Noosa Shire.
               The subject site is located within the Major Centre Zone, Noosa Business Centre – Showroom
               Precinct. The subject site is identified within the Noosa Business Centre Framework and Character
               Plan. The existing building is architecturally designed and has been recently constructed and is
               taken to be reflective of the Noosaville Local Plan design requirements.
               No changes are proposed to the existing building’s presentation or the established landscaping.
               Importantly, the proposed development will relate to the upper level of the existing building, and all
               signage will be guided by Council’s Local Law for Advertising Devices.
               The development maintains compliance with the Noosaville Local Plan.
               4.3.3 Major Centre Zone Code
               The proposed development is located within the Showroom Precinct of the Major Centre Zone at
               the established Noosa Business Centre. This precinct is intended to accommodate large format
               tenancies greater than 400m2, alongside complementary uses such as hardware and recreation.
               While the planning intent anticipates larger format floorplates, the existing approved tenancy sizes
               are significantly smaller.
               The proposed tenancies, ranging from approximately 77m² to 125m², were originally developed in
               accordance with an approval assessed under the Noosa Plan 2006, thus allowing for tenancies
               less than the 400m² sought under the current scheme. This means the existing tenancy layout
               does not align with the intended large format function of the precinct. As such, the development
               application is impact inconsistent due to the size of the tenancies being less than 400m2. However,
               the Noosa Plan identifies the Indoor Sport and Recreation (where located in a tenancy greater than
               400m2) in this location to a consistent use subject to Code assessment. For context, the following
               land uses (where greater than 400m2 GFA) are consistent uses subject to Code assessment within
               the precinct.
                   • Indoor Sport and Recreation
                   • Garden Centre
                   • Hardware and Trade Supplies
                   • Veterinary Service
                   • Community Care Centre

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                        7 JULY 2026


                    • Community Use
                    • Animal Keeping
               Importantly, these smaller tenancies form part of an existing, approved development and are
               designed to operate in conjunction with the primary medical uses within the building. In this context,
               they are intended to function as ancillary office/medical spaces rather than independent showroom
               tenancies.
               The tenancies subject to this application have remained vacant since the building’s construction.
               In response, the applicant proposes Indoor Sport and Recreation uses within the upper-level
               tenancies to complement the established medical centre. This includes low-impact health and
               wellness activities that are compatible with the existing use mix. The proposal represents a
               pragmatic and appropriate use of the approved built form, supporting the functional integration of
               health-related services within the centre.
               4.3.4 Recreation Activities Code
               The proposal has been reviewed against the Recreation Activities Code the purpose of which is to
               ensure the recreation activities are developed in the context of the locality and character to which
               they are located. Whilst the development is an inconsistent use due to not achieving a minimum
               gross floor area of 400m2, where located within the Showroom Precinct within the Major Centre
               Zone, the proposal does not result in the fragmentation of existing showroom tenancies.
               The applicant has provided an Economic Needs Assessment demonstrating the overriding need
               for additional Indoor Sport and Recreation.
               4.3.5 Works Codes
               4.3.5.1 Driveways and Parking Code
               Carparking
               As previously discussed, the application relates to an existing building that includes a two-storey
               basement car park, in addition to ground-level parking. In total, the development provides 94 car
               parking spaces, 10 motorcycle spaces, together with a service vehicle (SRV) loading bay and an
               ambulance bay.
               No changes are proposed to the existing car parking or servicing arrangements. In assessing the
               proposal under the Noosa Plan 2020, the prescribed parking rate for Indoor Sport and Recreation
               (1 space per 20m²) is consistent with that for Health Care Services (1 space per 20m²). As such,
               the proposed use is not expected to generate any additional parking demand beyond that already
               approved.
               End-of-trip facilities
               End-of-trip facilities were required to be provided as part of the existing development approval for
               the site. These facilities are to be readily accessible to staff associated with the subject tenancies.
               5.     CONSULTATION
               5.1. Referral Agencies
               Not applicable
               5.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
               •      Principal Strategic Planner, Strategic Planning and Environment – no objection.
               5.3. Public Notification
               The application was publicly notified for fifteen (15) business days (3 November 2025 to 24
               November 2025) in accordance with the Planning Act 2016. No properly made submissions were
               received.

               6.     HUMAN RIGHTS COMPATIBILITY STATEMENT
               In developing this Report, the subject matter has been considered in accordance with the
               requirements of the Queensland Human Rights Act 2019. It is considered that the subject matter
               does not conflict with any human rights and supports a human rights approach to decision making
               by Council. Council representatives will endeavour to act and make decisions under this report in
               a manner that is compatible with human rights. This report should be read in conjunction with
               Council’s Human Rights Policy.

               7.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION

               This application seeks approval for Indoor Sport and Recreation within an existing building,
               occupying five (5) tenancies at 26 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville, described as Lot 22 SP322201.

               As detailed within this report, while the application is an inconsistent use in this zone and subject
               to an impact assessment process, the proposed development is considered to uphold the Strategic
               Framework and overall intent of the Noosa Plan 2020.

               Importantly, the subject tenancies form part of an already approved and established development
               and are of a scale and nature that complements the primary medical uses on the site. In this
               context, the tenancies operate as ancillary components of the broader development, rather than
               as standalone large-format indoor recreation facilities.

               On balance, the proposed development is considered appropriate and is therefore recommended
               for approval.
