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

I’m a great believer you engage an expert to achieve outstanding results. I engaged Russell Green of RG Strategic for external and internal alterations to my Noosaville property. Russell’s experience in Town Planning, Council requirements and codes, Strata rules and By-Laws, plus his wealth of building knowledge all contributed to approval of my project, first time around. I’ve already recommended Russell and his team to clients and friends wishing to plan and execute building works.

I've engaged Russell from RG Strategic to assist with Development Approval for 3 projects and it has helped me increase the speed of approval while delivering overall cost savings. Russell has vast experience navigating Town Planning in Noosa and whether you need help with a Development Application for a commercial or residential building through to the complexities of Food Standards Approvals he will be able to assist. His fee structure is transparent and predictable and his advice is always spot on.

I can't recommend highly enough Russell Green (Town Planning Consultant) and his team at RG Strategic. Noosa is challenged currently by proposed changes to our town plan, which will potentially seriously impact our future economic growth. As a manager of one of Queensland's largest luxury accommodation providers, based in Noosa and representing more than 200 individual property investors, Russell has been an invaluable resource as we seek to ensure they are well informed as to these proposed impacts to their property values and use. His experience as a Councillor and Planner within Council gives him unique access and insight which serves to save time and cost when seeking his advice and expertise.
