RG Strategic have had a combined Development Permit approved for 1 Link Crescent, Coolum Beach. The permit covered a Material Change of Use and Operational Works (including operational works civil, landscaping works, stormwater drainage, driveway works and parking) to establish a Low Impact Industry Use for the site.
The subject site is located on the corner of Link Crescent and Quanda Road within the Coolum Industry Park. The site is currently vacant, and no improvements exist on site.
The proposal by development proponents Coolum Beach 2 Pty Ltd comprised a tilt slab building with four industrial tenancies plus a caretaker residence.
Each proposed industrial tenancies contain an open-plan workspace area, mezzanine floor, staff room, toilet and shower, kitchen, and balcony overlooking Link Crescent. The proposed Low Impact Industry Use comprises the following:
- 1,023m² of gross floor area,
- 876m² / 52% site cover,
- 396m² of landscaping,
- 17 car parking spaces, and
- 6 motorcycle spaces.
The project deals adequately with easements and parking requirements to maximise usable space on the site.
The exterior renders of the 1 Link Crescent project shows the commercial tenancies featuring double height to accommodate the interior mezzanine floors, and the balconies to each tenancy.
As part of the application, we requested several relaxations to certain requirements, including:
- a relaxation of the rear setback requirement, and
- due to the existing encumbrances on the site (easements) and lot shape, a 2-metre wide landscape strip can not be achieved to the full length of the site’s street frontages.
Due to site easements and configuration, landscaping is limited but plans have been developed to maximise available planting space.
RG Strategic is working with the following specialists to deliver this project:
- Architects: Zest Design
- Builders: Build 4 U Quality Constructions

RG Strategic was engaged by RLSSQ to redesign and seek the Food Premises approvals for our commercial kitchen and kiosk. Russell and his team at RG Strategic assisted with the project from initial planning, through to completion of work. Russel was well versed in council guidelines and requirements, and referred us to sources for cost-efficient suppliers, etc. The Food Premises project was completed quickly and passed Council inspection without any fuss. Thanks, Russell.

We engaged RG Strategic to help us with our liquor licence and food licence for our new venue Flo's Creperie in Mooloolaba. Having worked with Russell, Maree and Tracey during the launch of our Noosa venue, we already knew they were a highly professional and knowledgeable team. This time, however, they really went above and beyond, performing a few miracles along the way to ensure we opened up on time. We couldn't be more grateful for their arduous work and commitment. I highly recommend RG Strategic to anyone who needs assistance with planning matters, and I look forward to working with them again in future!

To the crew at RG Strategic, we cannot thank you enough. We engaged RG Strategic to help us bring our dream project to life, the Noosa Sportfishing Lodge. They lodged council applications for our short term accommodation approval and Liquor license applications with OLGR. What we thought was going to be a battle, became a seamless process with positive results in a most timely manner. RG Strategic are like the Tug Boats in a sea of aircraft carriers....moving swiftly and decisively, turning on a dime, delivering results with no fuss.
