Applicant Urban Planning Report

Performance Outcome PO9
Recreation activities operate within a timeframe that avoids negative impacts on the amenity
of the surrounding area and sensitive land uses.
The proposed development is for an indoor sport and recreation use, as such, its business
hours are typical for a development of this nature.
Monday through to Friday will see the first classes begin operation at 5am, with the final
morning class concluding at 10am.
Afternoon classes will operate from 4.15pm and conclude at 7pm. Saturday mornings see
Fitstops classic “Social Saturday” classes, with 2 x session being held at 6am and 7am. The
business will be closed on Sundays. Refer table 4 below.
Predominantly, the classes will be held outside of standard retail hours (9am-5pm). These
operational hours are complimentary to the existing business uses on at 11 Gibson Road,
where peak traffic flows will predominately be between 9am-5pm, and over the weekend.
There is minimal conflict between Fitstop’s proposed operating hours and that of the
adjoining businesses. Some overlap does occur at 9am and 4pm Monday to Friday.
Refer tables 4, 5,6 and 7 below.
The subject site adjoins the low density residential zone to the south. The following noise
attenuation methods already exist on site and are considered to adequately avoid negative
impacts upon dwellings to the south:
       •   Extensive, established vegetation buffer along the southern boundary
       •   1.8m high fence along southern boundary
       •   Buildings orientated towards Gibson Road, away from sensitive land uses
As such, it is considered that the development avoids negative impacts on the amenity of the
surrounding area and sensitive land uses.
