The project proponents, EdwardsAndCo. are already renowned for their salons in Sydney, Melbourne, Byron Bay, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and now it’s the Sunshine Coast’s turn.

Every Edwards and Co. salon stands out with beautiful decor and fresh open lighting. Each salon has kitchenette facilities, internal bathrooms, large mirrors, and open spaces.

EdwardAndCo’s Noosaville venture will follow the style set by their other salons.

The space will feature an open-plan workspace utilised by stylists for hair cutting, colour processing, washing and treatments.

EdwardsAndCo. salons are known for their exquisite use of the space they occupy. The interior above is from their Brisbane salon.

You find EdwardsAndCo. salons in spaces you’d least expect, and their Noosaville salon is no exception. They always hide their exquisite salons behind the walls of industrial warehouses.

No alteration to the external built form is proposed. The application for a Material Change of Use to establish a Shop use (Code Assessable) comprises a reconfiguration of the internal layout of the existing showroom to accommodate:

• 6 x cutting basins,
• Colour processing table,
• Wash and treatment basins,
• Staff and storeroom,
• Staff and client amenities, and
• Kitchenette and client drinks station.

The proposed use represents an appropriate reuse of the existing showroom tenancy.

One aspect of the Change of Use application was outlining how the required car parking ( as per the Noosa Plan 2020) could be accommodated. Per the Plan, EdwardsAndCo. would be required to provide 13 car spaces, where only 6 currently exist.

As part of the application, we outlined how, through the staggered approach to hair salon appointments, and the staggering of natural peak times for the neighbouring business (fitness classes), the car parking on site will meet the needs of the Change of Use.

We highlighted that the Plan also requires motorcycle parking, but as car parking is already developed, and there is no ability to provide additional space for motorcycle spaces, it is considered unwarranted to require the applicant to provide spaces. However, in the new floor plan, the architects have cleverly provided additional scooter and bicycle parking internally.

The floorplan shows open spaces, a feature of EdwardsAndCo salons, and a clever way to get additional motorcycle parking on site.

The application is to seek approval for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for an Indoor Sport and Recreation use.

The project’s proponents, KX Pilates, plan to convert the existing retail space into a new pilates studio.

As the site is included in a Medium Impact Industry Zone and the Venture Drive Enterprise Precinct, the proposed change triggered a Code Assessment.

The proposed use will be within the existing building within the Venture Drive Enterprise Precinct of the Noosaville Industrial Estate. The existing building is intended to remain unchanged with the exception of a minor internal reconfiguration. The proposed pilates studio will comprise:

• 46m² of reception area,
• 96m² of pilates reformer area, including 14 x reformer beds, and
• 64m² of amenities, storage and office area.

The existing paints retail space will be converted into a reformer pilates studio

RG Strategic prepared the application and required responses to the Code Assessment to help ensure a positive outcome for KX Pilates.

Our report covered:

• Proposed development intent;
• Description of the characteristics of site and surrounds;
• Proposed development details;
• An assessment of the proposal against the State planning interests;
• An assessment of the proposal against the Noosa Plan 2020; and
• A conclusion that summarises the grounds which support the proposed development.

Only minimal changes internally are required for the pilates studio, with the exterior remaining untouched with the exception of some signage updates and application

KX Pilates’ expansion into Noosaville brings the New Zealand and Australian brand to health-conscious consumers on the Sunshine Coast.
