Planning Report - Anytime Fitness Noosa

The prescribed carparking requirements have been calculated utilising the rates specified within
the Noosa Plan 2006 and the Draft New Noosa Plan 2019.

Noosa Council have previously accepted, and approved gymnasium uses utilising a carparking
rate of 0.85 carparking spaces / person being ‘entertained’. The proposal has also been assessed
using this rate for consistency.

 Rate



The proposed carparking infrastructure has been assessed against the prescribed required listed
in Table 6. As demonstrated within Appendix B the highest number of members using the gym
facilities at any one time was 19 persons (at 8:00AM).

With no more than 19 members attending the gymnasium at any one time and 3 staff members on
site, the carparking spaces required under the Noosa Plan 2006 is 10 carparking spaces. A total of
19 carparking spaces (or equivalent) are proposed which exceeds the requirements of 10 spaces
as prescribed under the Noosa Plan 2006.

Additionally, with a number of gym users utilising other means of transport including ride sharing,
and public and active transport infrastructures, the reconfiguration of the carparking space meets
the requirements of the Draft New Noosa Plan 2019. Sufficient carparking spaces are provided on
site to meet the needs of the proposed use.

The proposed carparking reconfiguration also exceeds the requirements of Council’s accepted
rate of 0.85 carparking spaces / person being ‘entertained’.

Therefore, the proposed reconfiguration of the carparking area permits the proposed use to be
able to comply with the requirements of the current and future planning schemes (2006 and 2019).
