3. The Town Planning Report includes a list of businesses that are proposed to be restricted from
the development. Please provide a list of business types thaf are anticipated to operate on
the site.

The Town Planning Report included a list of businesses that are proposed to be restricted from
the development to ensure than an undesirable ‘industrial’ outcome does not result. Given
that there is such a wide and varied range of tenants potentially suitable for the site it is
extremely difficult fo list exactly who may operate. For this reason we consider it better to
exclude uses rather than list proposed uses. However by way of example uses that could
potentially operate from the site include eco furniture, fittings and fixtures; environmental
management solutions: smart wiring; solar energy solutions; waste management solutions;
water management solutions; water technologies; sustainable pumps, pipes and fittings etc.

4, The Town Planning Report indicates that the proposal involves the relocation of the existing
Noosa Community Training Centre (NCTC), though this facility is not indicated on the plans.
Please provide amended plans indicating a facility of similar size and functionality to that
being replaced.

For reference, the existing facility consists of:
« Approx. 267m? Gross Floor Area + toilet facilities
e includes 3 Classrooms (approx. 60m? each), | Kitchen (training) area (approx.
20m?, and I Administration Office (approx. 67m7); &
e Involves up to 30 trainees at any one time and 5 permanent staff.

The proposal has been amended such that the Education use (Noosa Community Training
Centre} will be occupied within the original conference/gym facility, now labeled as Building
K, and the remainder of the site will be for industrial use. This results in proposed uses now
comprising 9101m2 of industrial use area (9510m2 GFA) and 225m? of education GFA. Building
K continues to include a small gym for use of the industrial tenants and also the ability for a
conference facility co-shared with the training centre classrooms. The NCTC will be
responsible for maintenance and management of the facility and make the
conference/meeting facility available for the use of the industry tenants with a booking system
in place.

5. Provide details of the proposed financial (leasing) arrangements for the relocated NCTC and
indicate how its future viability will be supported by the development.

It is intended that NCTC will have a management agreement in place for the facility with costs
subsidized by the owners and through fees paid by the industrial tenants for use of the
conference/gym facility. These arrangements are not however considered a planning
consideration and are subject to an agreement between the developer and the NCTC.

6. Provide a written indication of how any staging of the development, and works on the
existing NCTC site, will affect the continuity of fhe Centre’s operation.

The conference/training centre will be built with the first stage of development. We are
unable to provide any information at this stage of how development works may impact the
continuity of the centres operation. This is not however a planning consideration and should
have no bearing on the planning assessment of the application.
