Planning Report - Anytime Fitness Noosa

Comment: The proposed personal fitness studio is consistent with the Overall Outcomes for the
Noosaville Locality. The use presents a low intensity use of the site and does not pose any adverse
impacts on the surrounding existing industrial businesses as evidenced by other gyms and dance
studios existing harmoniously with industrial uses.

The    existing   surrounding    uses     are    predominantly       warehouse       type     uses      and   light
industrial/commercial (bicycle hire, toyshop, plumbing, agricultural feed supplies, brewery, RV
repairs) with no industrial manufacturing occurring. As such, the proposed indoor gymnasium will
be compatible with these uses.

There will be negligible vehicular traffic generated as a result of the proposed carparking
reconfiguration. A total of 19 carparking spaces (or equivalent) will be provided, which complies
with the prescribed requirements of the Noosa Plan 2006 and Draft New Noosa Plan 2019 (refer to
Section 5.2 of this report). Whilst the gymnasium is open to member 24hours a day, as
demonstrated by the patron usage data collected by the applicant in Appendix B and the data
complied on Australian gymnasiums (refer to Section 5.2), the periods of peak attendance are
generally outside of peak business hours.

Previous recent approvals by Council for a Gymnasium in Selkirk Drive and Gateway Drive
recognised the peak times within fitness centres and the potential loading on existing parking
infrastructure.

The proposed use is located in an existing building and will not impact on the surrounding major
road network. The use will not produce excessive noise, odour, dust or other waste. The proposed
indoor gymnasium will have lesser impacts than approved industrial uses.

The proposed indoor gymnasium is well located to provide the Noosaville residential population
with a quality fitness training service and provides a further recreational facility for visitors and
residents.
