Item 7. Information Required by Council

Clarify if the use of the building for storage of surf lifesaving machinery will create any nuisance (lighting spill/
noise etc) to the surrounding area.



Applicant’s Response

    •   The proposed facility will accommodate existing lifesaving, lifeguarding, rescue and emergency response
        equipment and vehicles. No new services or activities are proposed.

    •   Noosa Council's professional lifeguard service operates 365 days per year, while Sunshine Beach Surf Life
        Saving Club's volunteer beach patrols generally operate from September through to the end of April.

    •   Outside the volunteer patrol season, the facility will continue to be accessed for existing Club activities,
        including requalification training, workshops, equipment maintenance and repairs.

    •   The facility will also support Surf Life Saving Queensland's existing 24-hour emergency response
        arrangements.

    •   In response to matters raised by Council, the building has been realigned so that the principal access
        openings face towards Sunshine Beach and away from adjoining residential properties, minimising
        potential noise and lighting impacts.

    •   The building has also been repositioned further down the site, allowing for additional landscaping and
        screening between the facility and surrounding residential properties and public areas.

    •   The proposed facility improves the storage, accessibility and management of existing rescue equipment
        and vehicles and is not expected to generate any significant additional noise or lighting impacts.
