PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                9 AUGUST 2016



 Issues                                                      Comments
  Impact of night/security lighting would have on our Val Crescent somewhat.           The
    privacy/wellbeing                                   building also presents a “back of
                                                        house” elevation to Val Crescent at
  Recent renovation to take advantage of winter sun, its rear and its carpark extends close
    but development will block the sun                  to that street frontage.
  Beautiful, quiet street                             The building’s significant footprint
  Concerns about the air flow between the properties corresponds to a reduction in open
                                                         space on the site and would
  Destroy aesthetically – gum trees, animals & bird necessitate removal of all mature
    life, healthy mangroves, no more flora and fauna     trees on the site.
  The proposed development has not been located
    and designed to be compatible with the surrounding
    residential uses and is likely to have a significant
    adverse impact upon the amenity enjoyed by users
    of other premises, from both an acoustic and visual
    amenity perspective
  The proposed development is not for single
    detached housing and is for a large scale
    commercial development over a number of existing
    residential allotments. The development does not
    maintain a low rise, low density development form
    or a high level of residential amenity consistent with
    the varied character of the locality.
  The proposed development will ultimately result in
    the amalgamation of a number of residential
    allotments to provide for the large scale
    development, which is not consistent with the
    character of the locality
  The proposed development does not have a visual
    bulk and an architectural scale consistent with
    structures on adjoining land, will visually dominate
    the street and does not preserve the amenity of
    surrounding land.
  The proposed development results in a building that
    is not of a scale compatible with surrounding
    development, has a bulky appearance to adjacent
    properties and the streetscape

 Conflicts With The Noosa Plan
  In significant conflict with the Noosa Plan – This assessment finds significant
    inconsistent uses                                   conflicts with The Noosa Plan and
                                                        does not identify sufficient grounds to
  Insufficient planning grounds that warrant approval overcome the planning conflict.
  The Noosa Plan has always intended that medical
    uses required to support the Noosa Hospital be
    located on the land occupied by the Noosaville
    Medical and Professional Centre
