Okay, so this is an application for another change in existing approval for a Material Change of Use into an entertainment clubhouse and a sporting recreation golden green. A Material Change of Use for outdoor sports, recreation, food and drink outlets and medium-impact industry for our facility at 5 Opal Street, Cooroy.

Excellent. Well, thank you. Here with the Chair. So, like you said, it's an impact assessable application and the application attracted 12 submissions and 11 of those were properly made and one not properly made. There were eight in support of the application and four against so that existing approval that you mentioned at the beginning there that was for indoor entertainment, clubhouse and sport and recreation that was dated 27th of July 1995 and I guess the main purpose of this other change was to refine and adapt the existing approval to include more contemporary land use terms from the Noosa Plan 2020. The applications seeks approval for the introduction of two new land uses the food and drink outlet and the distillery which we've defined under the Noosa Plan as medium impact industry and it's worth noting that the of primary use of the bowls club remains unchanged and it's supported in this application through a long-term agreement between your mates bolsey Pty Ltd. and the Cooroy Community Bowls Club so that ensures. Access and operation of that into the future the proposed fruit and drink outlet generally maintains the historic use of the clubhouse including it was previously operated as a restaurant and it remains ancillary to the primary recreational use there's going to be shared amenities and the development aligns with similar regional bowling clubs in Noosa and the Sunshine region the proposed medium impact industry it's a very small scale distillery 28 metres squared and that's proposed to operate in an internal room that's existing and it's got limited production capacity to minimise amenity impact the application as conditioned demonstrates consistency with the relevant performance outcomes of the applicable codes including the recreation and open space code the product local plan code the business activity code and the entertainment activities code and that the application maintains compliance with existing car parking arrangements Planning Scheme provisions and there's no increase in car parking demand as a result of the other change. Is the proposal is considered to appropriately balance operational needs and residential amenity with it adjoining a residential use and it's supported by relevant documentation and conditions and through the assessment you know operational impacts including noise and hours of operation they've been addressed through supporting documentation including a noise impact assessment that was submitted and then as a result of submissions the applicant submitted an operational management plan and a risk assessed management plan and conditions are recommended to manage delivery operations, restrict patient access to sensitive areas adjoining that residential use and ensure compliance with noise and amenity standards noted that the proposed operating hours are consistent with the applicable codes and are similar to what was publicly advertised and are supported by acoustic recommendations the hours are considered appropriate given the site's recreation and open space zoning where sport and recreation specifically the lawn primary bowls is use and proposed food and drink outlet and distillery therefore should remain ancillary and must operate in a manner that respects and supports the site's principal recreational function and the location it is within Cooroy. It's that submitted concerns relating to current operations that's being addressed by the applicant by removing patron access from the area adjacent to the eastern boundary that joins the residential use and this includes the removal a lot of smoking area the relocation of outdoor dining and the relocation of children's playground to the other side of the building away from the residential area also concerns from submitters regarding refrigeration units another plant and we have addressed that reasonably in conditions the proposed changes represent a considered response to the community concerns raised during public notification and the operational needs of the business so overall I think the application is to appropriately balance the recreation commercial and community interest and is recommended for approval subject to the recommended conditions leave it open to any questions now.
