Figure 2 Extract of Noosa Heads Locality Map

The Noosa Plan 2006 indicates that Entertainment & Dining Business -Type 2 Recreation,
Amusement & Fitness are to comply with the following codes:

          •    Noosa Heads Locality Code;
          •    Business Uses Code;
          •    Landscaping Code; and
          •    Engineering Works Codes.

The proposal has been reviewed against the relevant Codes and is generally considered to comply
with the specific outcomes. The proposal utilises an existing building with internal building works.

As detailed above, the owner of the premises is proposing to alter the floor space area of tenancies 3
and 4 and the upper floor office space, to achieve more rentable premises that meet the demands of
the current market. The proposal plan illustrates that the ground floor area has been reduced to
provide an additional rear stairway to the upper floor with the additional floor area transferred to the
office area. As a result of the reduced ground floor area 4 scooter carparking spaces and one
additional carpark are able to be provided within the building. These carparking spaces will be used by
staff operating from the premises.

With regard to carparking the Noosa Plan details the following requirements:




                                                                                         2
Tenancy 4 has previously been assessed for carparking at a rate of 1 space per 15m and therefore
the new area would have an assumed ‘credit’ of 13 spaces. The proposed training facility is
anticipated to have a maximum of 27 patrons plus 1 instructor which equates to 10 spaces under the
Entertainment & Dining Business -Type 2 Recreation, Amusement & Fitness rate. Therefore no
additional carparking is required to be provided on site.

No infrastructure charges are applicable to the proposal as no additional floor area is proposed.
