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 worked with Russell and the team for licensing of our food manufacturing premises. They were so great and easy to work with - nothing about the process was stressful and they guided us through each step of the way. We'd definitely recommend working with RG Strategic!
