4.1        Key issues

4.1.1 Built Form

The application proposes the reuse of the existing building located at 1/11B Venture Drive. The
proposed development would not substantially alter the existing layout and external appearance of
the industrial building. Although the works do result in a subtle increase to the building footprint
(comprising the entry and porch at the front of the building), the bulk and scale of the existing
structure remains consistent, with no changes to building height.
The proposed use for Warehouse and Indoor Recreation (mostly storage with limited training) is a
consistent use in the zone and would remain compatible with surrounding industry uses. The
proposal does not compromise the ongoing operation and viability of industry activities within
the Medium Impact Industry zone (Venture Drive Precinct).



4.1.2 Car Parking


The Driveways and Parking Code requires the following carparking rates:
          Warehouse = 1 per 50m2 up to 500m2 GFA (113m2 = 2.2 spaces)
          Indoor Sport & Recreation = 1 space per 20m2 (192m2 = 9.6 spaces)
          Total Required = 11.8 spaces Total Provided = 13 spaces

Based on the availability of 13 carspaces and the demand of up to 10 persons on site at any one
time, there is sufficient carparking available on site for the proposed uses. The corresponding
Performance Outcome PO6 requires that sufficient parking is provided having regard to the specifics
of the use including –
   i)        The type and intensity of the use;
   ii)       Any existing parking available on the site;
   iii)      Hours of operation;
   iv)       Likely number of users;
   v)        Accessibility to the site by means other than private motor vehicle;
   vi)       The peak parking demand of users on the site; and
   vii)      The availability of alternative car parking.
The application proposes the reuse of the existing shed for a dual-purpose comprising storage and
training. Storage would include fleet and equipment including trailers, club bus, maintenance
equipment, boats and other general gear used for the purpose of surf lifesaving. The training facility
on the mezzanine level is proposed to be used for education courses and assessment including First
Aid, CPR, Advanced Resuscitation etc.

The storage component is the primary purpose of the shed with the Noosa Heads SLSC taking
advantage of the space to introduce a mezzanine level for a complementary training facility. The
