           ATTACHMENT 3 – (51988.2770.02) – PLANNING OFFICER’S REPORT


REPORT
1.     PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks minor changes to the 1988 Town Planning Consent (Netball Clubhouse) and
subsequent 2021 minor change (Pickleball courts and changerooms) approvals, including removal
and replacement of the existing netball clubhouse with a new 210m2 clubhouse building. The
proposal includes:
•    10 new unisex toilets (including PWD);
•    Social room, first aid, canteen, meeting room and store;
•    Accessible ramps are provided with grandstand seating facing the courts
•    Fibre cement rendered building with gable roof form; and
•    Amended carparking layout to include 17 spaces adjoining the clubhouse.
The applicant has provided the following commentary regarding the proposed relocation of the
clubhouse:
       Noosa Council endorsed the Noosa District Sports Complex Master Plan (the “Master Plan”)
       in 2020. A key recommendation in the Master Plan is to create a link road through the
       Complex connecting the McKinnon Drive entrance at the north to the Butler St entrance to
       the South of the Complex.
       The Sport and Active Lifestyles team have been working closely with the Noosa District
       Netball Association and the State appointed Project Managers (RPS) on the rebuild of the
       netball clubhouse located at the Noosa District Sports Complex.
       In consultation with Council's infrastructure staff we have requested that the clubhouse be
       rebuilt in the alternative location presented in the plans in the Development Application. This
       is to facilitate:
       •     Internal road and the McKinnon Drive entrance upgrades as recommended in the
             endorsed Noosa District Sports Complex Master Plan.
       •     A future widening of the access road to facilitate safe and compliant vehicle movement
             on the internal access road. Currently the road is unable to be widened due to the close
             proximity of the existing building and other infrastructure on the site i.e. The Olive
             Donaldson Pavilion, utility services. The relocation of the clubhouse will enable the
             physical space to widen the road for two-way vehicle movement.
       •     The opportunity to improve pedestrian movement safety by creating formal crossing
             points and pathways through both the formal, on street and gravels car parks in the
             northern area of the site. (As part of the future carpark road upgrades).
