PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                          9 APRIL 2019


Therefore, the proposed 13 spaces would enable sufficient car parking availability for a maximum
number of 15 people present on site. A condition ensuring there is no overlapping of classes is
also recommended to ensure car parks are available at all times.
The proposed fitness centre use, provided numbers are capped as recommended, has sufficient
carparking available on site to address likely parking demands.
End of trip facilities
The Business Uses Code requires secure and convenient parking space for bicycles and end of
trip facilities. The applicant has proposed end of trip facilities being showers and change rooms,
however have not indicated proposed bicycle parking. The applicant indicated they will accept a
condition for this requirement. Minimum bicycle parking is 1 bicycle park per 100m2 of gross floor
area. The proposed gross floor area is 377m2. Therefore, it is proposed to condition the
development to provide for 4 spaces for bicycles.
4.     DRAFT PLANNING SCHEME
The site is to be located within a Medium Impact Industry zone and in the Venture Drive
Enterprise precinct where sport and recreation uses may be accommodated. A fitness centre is
considered an indoor sport and recreation use under the Draft Planning Scheme. Indoor sport
and recreation uses are code assessable if located within an existing building and not involving
the expansion of the building. The proposed use is within an existing building and there are plans
to expand the building. Therefore, the proposal would be impact assessable and a consistent use
under the Draft Planning Scheme.

     Engineering Officer, Development Assessment

6.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
Whilst Entertainment and Dining Business Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness is an
inconsistent use in the Industry Zone, The Noosa Plan does recognise that some entertainment
uses will locate in the industrial area. The proposal can be conditioned to address car parking
requirements by restricting the number of people on site at any one time, providing 1 car space
per 0.85 persons utilising the site. Therefore the proposal is recommended for approval, subject
to reasonable and relevant conditions.
