club employs a maintenance person for the upkeep of the facilities, however other members would
frequent the site to access the boats, minibus and other lifesaving equipment to be stored at the
facility. These members would access the site on an as needs basis.

The training facility on the mezzanine level is to complement the facilities at Noosa Main Beach. The
SLSC operates a voluntary service on weekends and holidays between October-May at Noosa Main
Beach and in the 2019/20 season had 527 active members and 845 junior members making it one
of the largest in the country. There is no intention to have all members utilise these facilities.

The training facility would be used to facilitate out of hours training for the voluntary members, which
usually occurs byway of Bronze Medallion, SLSC and Resuscitation courses in small groups with up
to 10 people at a time outside of work hours (after 5pm.

The application proposes 13 onsite carparking spaces for the use of the training facility. In addition,
the site has access to a minibus that can be utilised to transfer members to and from the site for
larger groups. Considering the Performance Outcomes above, the development provides for
sufficient carparking onsite for the likely number of users, the accessibility by Club minibus, likely
hours of use after 5pm and availability of parking in the surrounding industrial area.

A detailed carparking entry/exit plan is provided with the application demonstrating the 13 carparking
spaces are able to be accessed and leave in a forward gear. Although carparking spaces 9 and 11
are located in front of the boat storage area – these spaces are to be utilised only for short term
parking. Conditions may be imposed in relation to linemarking and signposting.
