Plans and drawings: the text below has words only, no drawings.
The operation plan for Noosa would include:
1. 24 hour reception
From a customer service prospective, it is crucial to have someone available at all times of
the day and night to look after guest needs. It costs a lot, but we believe it is worth the
investment. This creates a controlled environment for guests and local residents.
2. Managing areas and times
As with Sydney, we expect a range of different guests with each of them desiring a different
experience. Some will want to stick to themselves and have a quiet, relaxing time whilst
others will want to socialize and meet people.
We have designed this building to have many different areas catering to these needs. A lot
of lounges and quiet areas to read, work online and relax. We have also created a contained
social area that the building wraps around. Having one social area is the key to control. We
have designed it so it is close to reception so there will always be staff supervising guests.
Having this area in this location also limits noise for neighbors.
As it gets later in the evening the outdoor areas will close and we will offer a few very
straight forward options for guests which include:
Go to bed.
Move into dining area – This area is purposefully designed on the Southern
side of the property where the business is located next door. It is as far away
from the residential side as possible. When guests are using this area after
hours the staff will make sure that all doors and windows are closed to
eliminate noise for other guests.
Offer free shuttles and/or buses to Hastings St. In general, this is the
preferred option for the guests and staff. It is extremely effective in Sydney.
The group departs together and return in small groups of twos and threes
which is very easy to manage for overnight staff.
3. Free transport
We will have regular shuttles to/from Hastings St and the bus depot. We will have bikes
available for guests to use for free and we’ll encourage the ride into Hastings St and around
the National Park. As few guests will have their own transport we will highlight the public
transport option to get to other destinations in the Noosa area.
4. Carpark management
We see this being predominantly used by staff and guests that stay in one of the 6 hotel
suites. The backpacker contingent of our business will arrive by shuttle from the airport and
on one of the national bus providers (Greyhound and Premier).
As with most accommodation providers, check-in will be around 1pm and check-out will be
at 10am. We expect that this will limit use of the car park to around these times and little or
no use will occur between the hours of 8pm and 8am.
