5.     CONCLUSION
The proposed business use is considered to be unsuitable for the site, due to the noise
generated by the business, the proposed extensive operating hours, close proximity to
neighbouring houses and limited off-street vehicle parking availability. This is evidenced by the
objections received from those residents directly adjacent the pool. The proposed reduced
number of classes does little to address these amenity impacts and similarly an acoustic fence is
unlikely to be effective in this instance due to its restricted height. The applicant has further not
been able to provide satisfactory car parking on site and this is likely to contribute some nuisance
and disruption in the street for residents.
It is further recommended that the applicant be advised that they must cease operating the swim
school which is currently operating in breach of the Noosa Plan and the Planning Act 2016. In
this regard a period of 20 business days from Council’s decision is considered a reasonable time
frame for the applicant and parents to make alternative arrangements for swimming lessons,
considering the impacts of the business on adjacent residents
