 accordance with the Council conditioned          lodged with Council seeking a separate approval for the
 class limits and parking requirements. The       site’s other existing inconsistent uses.
 submitter objects to any other inconsistent
 use that attempts to operate on the site in
 the future under the subject approval.

5.       CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The nature and function of the proposed business use is suitable for the subject site and location.
Whilst Entertainment and Dining Business Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness is an
inconsistent use in the Industry Zone, The Noosa Plan does recognise that some entertainment
uses will locate in the industrial area. The use has been operating on the subject site without
approval for over 6 months and no complaints have been made to Council regarding the subject
business use (Gym). The site provides 3.6 car spaces for the proposed gym use and a further
6.4 spaces are available on site outside the typical industrial business hours. Therefore it is
recommended the gym operates with a maximum of 3 clients between the hours of 7am and 4pm
(Monday to Friday) and 8am to 1pm (Saturday), with a maximum of 15 clients outside of these
hours.
