Carparking
The property already has a road-based carpark from previous use of the premises, so no changes were
made to the natural vegetation for parking. Only the removal of dead branches seen as a risk. In order to
keep in theme with the natural bush setting, bamboo and logs have been used to mark the parking spaces.
We have enough parking spaces for over 10 cars and have included 1 x disabled, plus staff parking.

Staff
There is only one staff member needed on the property at one time delivering the services. As
owner/operator it is mainly myself within the building 90% of the time carrying out healing/ yoga sessions.
David lives on the property and therefore carries out maintenance and comes to the building for meetings
outside of class and healing times. On occasions I may have one other colleague that comes to volunteer
their time and assist with classes/workshops.

Current Operating Hours
My average week during term time is:

Monday: 9.00am - 2.30pm -3 x clients
Tuesday: 1.00-6.00pm - 2-3 x clients
Wednesday: 9.00am - 2.30pm 1 x class, 2 x clients
Thursday: 9.00am - 6.00pm 2 x classes, 2-3 x clients
Friday: 9.00am -2.30pm 1 x class, 2 x clients
Sat/Sun closed

The time I give each client is from 60min to 2hours, with the 90min session being the most popular as it
gives enough time for some talk therapy as well as treatment time on the table. The above is subject to
change depending on the needs of my clients and my family dutie.

Current Yoga Schedule
All classes are 75mins and taught by me, with the occasional stand in teacher.

Current Issue
I have taught evening Yoga classes and offered late appointments for many years, with never a thought
that there may have been council codes around this, nor ever had any complaints. On relocating to
Tinbeerwah I was offering 2 x evening classes at 6pm, plus added a Saturday morning class and some
afternoon yoga workshops to cater for the fulltime workers of the Noosa region. I would offer treatments
late on an as needed basis also.

The Noosa Homebased Business Council Codes were brought to our attention last September due to a
neighbour's complaint about the scale of the business. We immediately reduced the classes and honoured
the codes. However, because of this we have lost number of students/clients who are extremely
disappointed at not being able to access classes outside of normal business hours. New clients also have
strongly expressed their need to access after work/weekend sessions.

As you see above, the morning classes are full, yet the Thursday class is now low in numbers because the
time is not late enough for people to finish work and get to class on time. This reduction has also impacted
