Planning Report

                                                                                       proposal report




The potential tenants include a Pharmacy, General Practitioner Clinic, Hydrotherapy Clinic, Gym,
Radiology/Pathology Consulting and a large range of other tenancies sizes suitable for a variety of
vendors. The medical services provided by the proposed Noosa Medical Clinic will offer a facility to
Noosa residents which is currently not available within the Noosa Shire. With its elegant design and
focus on community, the Noosa medical centre will be a valuable contribution to the Noosa shire.

Access to the site is via the existing access easement which is proposeed to be increased in area to
accommodate service vehicles turning into the basement as well as improving visibility leaving the
site.

Operational Aspects

It is anticipated that the centre will operate:

        Monday to Friday – 6am to 8pm
        Saturday and Sunday – 6am to 5pm

Overnight stays are not intended for the centre however may occur in special circumstances where
patients do not wake up from anaesthetic in time and need to be monitored overnight.

As the final tenancy mix has not been finalised it is difficult to estimate staffing and patron numbers,
however the following carparking has been provided:

    •   Carparking – 282 spaces
    •   Motor cycle - 34 spaces

Bicycle facilities are provided on site with 10 spaces at the front of the site and 72 secure spaces in
the basement. End of trip facilities are also provided in the basement.
Waste Management

A large bin store and loading dock of 164m2 has been provided on the ground floor of the site which
is considered sufficient area for waste management and recycling. All medical tenants will dispose
of their waste in accordance with regulatory provisions.

Reconfiguration

Following discussions with Council officers at the pre-lodgement meeting, a Traffic Assessment was
undertaken to consider the potential impact that the proposed development could have on the
surrounding external road network, servicing arrangements and carparking. The report concluded
that the proposal would have negligible impact on the surrounding road network.

The Traffic Consultants also reviewed the existing easement access and supported the proposed
modification to the configuration of the northern access to enable a new left in to the site. The
proposed reconfiguration reflects the change to the access easement.
