Plans have been lodged to build a high-quality gym spanning 1,500 square metres at the newly-opened Sungate Business Park in Caboolture.
The fitness facility from Eildon Capital Group is expected to join established businesses that have opened and will also soon open in the new Moreton Bay shopping centre, such as Coles, Bunnings, Chemist Warehouse, PetStock and KFC. The $80-million Sungate Business Park had its grand opening on the 18th of November 2022.
Per DA/2022/4505, the gym will operate 24/7 to offer flexibility for its members and will include facilities like weights, circuit training, cardio functional training, hydrotherapy, massage rooms, total body fitness assessment rooms, as well as change and lockers rooms.
The DA also indicated that the location is part of the SunGATE Masterplan/Caboolture Shire Plan that has received preliminary approval. The gym’s construction will not impact the landscape of the approved precincts.
As a 24/7 facility, an acoustic assessment has been done to ascertain that the gym will have proper noise mitigation measures so as not to disturb surrounding residential areas. The developers also underscored that there is an economic need for a new gym in the area to promote healthy living options for the locals.
“Over the next decade the population of the catchment is expected to grow by nearly 12,000 people, resulting in demand for an additional three gyms in this area,” the DA cited. “As such, with an increasing undersupply there is considered strong demand for a gym on the subject site.”
Moreton Bay Regional Council is still assessing the DA, subject to public notification.
