2. Proposal This application proposes to establish a community gymnasium on the subject lot, adjacent the Toogoolawah Swimming Pool site. A Gymnasium falls under the Use definition of Indoor Sport and Recreation and the relevant codes of the Somerset Regional Council Planning Scheme are addressed below. The proposed Gymnasium is to contain an initial gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 270m² with a potential future expansion area of an additional 108m². The building is to contain a reception area, main gymnasium area, storage areas and toilets as shown on plans prepared by Graham Richardson Associates Architects & Landscape Architects, File No. 1902, titled Proposed Gymnasium Toogoolawah and dated 19/9/2019. The Gymnasium is to operate up to seven (7) days a week from 6am – 7pm (hours may vary depending on class times). One (1) to two (2) employees are to be on site at all times to manage the facility. Vehicle parking exists at the Factory Road frontage of the site adjacent the existing amenities building associated with the Pool. Additional parking is also available within the Condensery/Art Gallery precinct.

2.1 Site Description The Toogoolawah Swimming Pool and associated amenities building are predominantly

located on adjoining Lot 229 on CSH2093 and currently encroaches the common boundary

of the subject site (Lot 1 on RP99184). Lot 229 is currently State Land and an application

has been lodged with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines & Energy to convert the

land to Freehold tenure for Council to purchase and amalgamate with Lot 1 on RP99184 to

rectify encroachments of community infrastructure/structures.

The Gymnasium is proposed in an area of the site previously utilised for beach volleyball

(court removed in 2019). The subject area remains vacant and will be a practical location for

the proposed Gymnasium. Access and parking are available via Factory Road as well as

the Condensery/Art Gallery parking area.

An internal road for the Condensery/Art Gallery runs through the north western portion of the

site which is subject to a potential road opening in the future to conform boundaries of the

relevant land parcels to the extents of the road formation.

The proposed building is to be located in an area clear of vegetation and will be setback to the

nominated Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity area. Ongoing maintenance of the site, such as

mowing, will ensure any potential bushfire fuel is kept to a minimum to maintain safety to people and

property on site.

Existing access to the site via Factory Road will allow practical access for fire fighting and emergency

service vehicles as required.

OM5 – Catchment Management – The Overlay Map shows a watercourse (Cressbrook Creek) adjacent the rear of the site and the proposed new building will be located within the 100m buffer area

to the watercourse.

OM7 – Flood Hazard – Council’s Overlay Map shows a Significant and Low Flood Hazard Area

over the subject site. The new building is proposed within the Low Flood Hazard area shown in cyan

below and the plan provided herewith shows a proposed finished floor level of 96.500 AHD. The

proposed finished floor level is above the 96.4 AHD flood level nominated by Council’s Officers.

5. Technical Reports

No technical reports accompany this application.

6. Summary The proposed Gymnasium conforms to other community infrastructure in the subject area

and is not expected to have any adverse impacts on surrounding uses. The Gymnasium will

adjoin the existing Toogoolawah Swimming Pool and the Condensery/Art Gallery Precinct

and is well suited to expand on the existing community facilities.

Existing services connected to the site will be utilised for the proposed new building.

The proposal generally meets the Performance Outcomes of the relevant Codes and

warrants approval.

Yours faithfully,
