MCU19-0132 Applicant's Response to Council's IR

It is also recognised that sound will seek openings or less dense material through which to pass. This would
be concluded as the front roller doors which face directly onto the carpark and away from the adjoining
industrial uses. Further, the industrial unit is air-conditioned and therefore all openings to the gymnasium
will be closed during use.

b) Notwithstanding that the subject site is located in the Industry Zone of the Noosaville Locality, the
operation of Anytime Fitness Noosa provides far less impacts than a class-based fitness model. As this is
not a class-based gymnasium there is no loud themed “motivational” music which can present as impacts
(for example F45 style operations). Any music played within Anytime Fitness Noosa is at a level that still
enables patrons to be able to have a conversation. The current use operates within a shopping centre
and does not present any noise impacts to adjoining uses in the centre.

c) The current existing use west of the subject site is a caravan repair/maintenance use which utilises
processes as grinding, cutting and fitting of various materials including metal, hard plastics and the like.
These works are all undertaken with all roller doors open as demonstrated in Figure 2 below.

The current uses to the East are also situated in an industrial building fabricated from prefabricated
concreate tilt slabs that will prevent any perceived noise impacts from occurring (Figure 3).
