Then move on to the next item on the agenda which I'm guessing since the planning staff are coming up is the oh now it wasn't what I was what I was going to say. T it's-U-25-0-1-1-9, application for Material Change of Use of premises to establish indoor sport and recreation at 26 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville. And we have the Director, the manager and the person who does the work. Beautiful.

Good afternoon. I'm Georgina. I'm one of the senior planners. So the application that we have in front of us today is for a Material Change of Use establish an indoor sport and recreation uses within the existing building at 25 Eenie Creek Road. So this is probably more commonly known as the medihub building. So we're looking at an existing two story building and they're looking at locating, and sorry, they're looking at gaining approval within the upper level tendencies there. So this application has followed an impact inconsistent application pathway. And I suppose this is why we are here today. Through that public notification period of three weeks, no submissions were received during that time. And by way of by way of background, the site has already been developed under an existing approval for a Material Change of Use that was approved under a previous scheme, being the 2006 planning scheme, and that was for the purpose of medical and office space. Application here is seeking to retain the existing built form while changing the use of five existing tenancies on the upper level. So the intent of this is because the applicant, I suppose, is looking for increased leasing opportunities for those upper level tenancies. Mean, I suppose it's also for the purpose of complementing the existing established uses of the building being primarily meant for medical purposes and each tenancy was originally developed in accordance with which was assessed under the 2000 2006 planning scheme. So this allowed for tenancies to have an area less than 400 square metres which was in accordance with the scheme at the time. Whereas the current scheme in effect is I suppose seeking indoor sport and recreation uses within the zone, within this precinct of 400 square metres, well greater than 400 square metres so that it's larger format sort of buildings. To a there's larger format buildings importantly again just reiterating these smaller tenancies and form part of an already approved and established development so the configuration of this existing building is quite limited and it's very unlikely that it will ever be used for showroom purposes or those large format sort of purposes like we're not going to get a beacon lighting here um I suppose in terms of like servicing constraints um to the site in an upper level and I suppose limited to stairs and a lift um as well as the floor to ceiling height. So I suppose it was never um the large format retail outcomes were sorry never I'm not quite envisioned under the Noosa Plan within this building sorry um so through the application process I've done an assessment against a scheme um an economic needs analysis has also been provided in support of the application um we've all reviewed that and I'm quite comfortable that it's meeting the strategic framework of the Noosa Plan and has been recommended for approval subject to conditions
