                                                                                   MARCH 2026




2.0         Context Review
2.1         Proposed Development
The subject site comprises the Medihub building, which was approved in 2022 and
completed and commenced operations in 2024. It is occupied by a mix of medical and
office businesses.


The site is located within the Major Centre Zone under the Noosa Plan 2020, specifically

Recreation is identified as being subject to Impact Assessment (if the gross floor area for
any individual tenancy is less than 400sqm).


The current proposal seeks the opportunity for Indoor Sport and Recreation uses within

building façade and applies to existing tenancies (CC12, CC16, CC18, CC19 and CC20) to
provide flexibility to the use of the tenancies, which have been vacant since the building
was completed in 2024.


The total combined floorspace that the proposal relates to is 457sqm, however, this does
not imply that this entire floorspace will be occupied by Indoor Sport and Recreation uses,
rather it is intended to provide flexibility to support the various scale and tenancy needs of
potential future tenants.


The individual tenancies range from 77sqm to 125sqm as per the tenancy schedule below.


•   CC12: 84sqm
•   CC16: 87sqm
•   CC18: 125sqm
•   CC19: 77sqm
•   CC20: 84sqm


The proposal is considered to align with the intent of the Major Centre Zone and NBC –
Showroom Precinct by encouraging health, wellbeing and recreational activities within an
