7.4   MCU25/0119 - APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE OF
      PREMISES TO ESTABLISH INDOOR SPORT AND RECREATION AT 26
      EENIE CREEK ROAD, NOOSAVILLE
      Committee Recommendation
      Moved:             Cr Brian Stockwell
      Seconded:          Cr Karen Finzel
      That Council note the report by the Senior Development Planner to the General
      Committee Meeting dated 7 July 2026 regarding Application No. MCU25/0119 for a
      Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Indoor Sport and Recreation
      situated at 26 Eenie Creek Rd Noosaville; and
      A. Approve the application in accordance with the proposed conditions outlined in
          Attachment 1; and
      B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act
          2016; and
      C. Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason to
          approve the application:
             1.       The co-location of Indoor Sport and Recreation uses with established
             medical services such as radiology, cancer treatment and general practitioners
             creates a complementary health and wellness cluster. This integrated
             approach is consistent with the strategic intent to encourage industry
             clustering and efficient use of existing approved floor space within the Noosa
             Business Centre.
             2.       In terms of community wellbeing, the development enhances
             accessibility to a broad range of health, fitness and recovery services within a
             single, centrally located facility. The co-location of services improves
             convenience and supports the delivery of multi-purpose, shared spaces,
             consistent with the planning scheme’s objectives for vibrant and inclusive
             activity centres. It also reinforces the role of the Noosa Business Centre as a
             key hub for health and community services.
             3.       While the proposed Indoor Sport and Recreation tenancies do not
             align with the intended large-format function of the precinct, they form part of
             an existing approved development and are designed to operate in a
             complementary to the medical uses within the building.
             4.       The proposal is an appropriate use of the approved built form,
             supporting the functional integration of health-related services within the Major
             Centre Zone of the Noosa Business Centre.

      Carried.
