4.0 Planning assessment
4.1      Pre-lodgement and Compliance History
In May 2018, Council Planning Officer’s undertook a thorough site inspection with the owners of the
Thomas Surfboards business to observe the relocated Thomas Surfboards integrated business,
which moved from 175 Eumundi Noosa Rd to the current site.

At the inspection it was observed that a portion of the new premises at 4 Project Ave is currently
being used for coaching and training as a fitness gymnasium and is the subject of this application.

On the 17 May 2018, Council officer’s provided advice indicating they seek an application for the
non-conforming uses within the new premises including the gym, however they are unlikely to
support the Barber, Café and Clothing Sales components of the Thomas Surfboards integrated
business.

On the 17 June 2018, the applicant responded to Council advising of the recent purchase of the
neighbouring building at 2 Project Ave with associated café and outdoor dining approvals. At the
time, the intention was to incorporate this into the overall ‘Thomas Surfboards’ integrated business.

On the 28 June 2018, the applicant advised they would seek to prepare an application for an
Integrated Enterprise Business. However, as a precautionary measure the applicant reserves their
rights regarding the benefit of the 2015 Industrial zone moratorium and the outcomes of the new
planning scheme, irrespective of this application.

On the 29 June 2018, Council accepted the period of three months for the submission of an
application being 28 September 2018. This application is lodged to address the fitness gym use only.
