        It is considered that the proposed development includes all necessary mitigation measures to ensure that the
         amenity of adjoining uses is maintained.
        The proposed development will not adversely impact on Eumundi- Noosa Road which is a council owned road

         and classified as a major road. The proposed development will not dramatically affect the visual amenity and

         character of this road.

        The site comprises established landscaping that is to be retained where possible, further the proposal

         comprises additional landscaping along both road frontages to enhance visual amenity.

        The proposed development is considered to be compatible with the surrounding development. It is appropriately

         located on the subject site with suitable setbacks from the adjoining community use (school).

        All proposed buildings and structures are below the maximum height of 8m in accordance with height

         requirements.

        The proposed buildings and structures are setback more than 7m from the road frontages in accordance with

         Schedule 1- Minimum Boundary Setbacks.

        Given the size of the lot and the proposed developable area, the proposed scale of the development is

         considered to be compatible to the surrounding development.

        The proposal presents a development that comprises an appropriate combination of building and hard surfaces

         with high quality landscaping to adjoining properties.

        Existing established trees along Walter Hey Drive are to be retained where possible.

        The storm tide Information Map (Map 10-D34) obtained from the Noosa Council website states that the site is

         outside the known floodplain extent. Refer to Appendix C.

        The proposed materials are acceptable as the site is in the Industry Zone where there are no specific

         requirements; however the petrol station building comprises a variety of materials and features such as glazing

         and recessions to create visual appeal.

        The site does not contain any biodiversity, native vegetation, native fauna habitat, landscaped quality, water

         quality or cultural heritage values; however the proposal does take urban run-off into consideration, ensuring
         that contaminants are not released through water sensitive urban design.

        Pedestrian and bicycle pathways are already in place along both street frontages. The proposed development

         will ensure that these pathways are maintained. Where upgrades are required, they will comply with council

         provisions.

        A landscaped strip between 7m and 10m is proposed along the Walter Hay Drive frontage and 8.4m and 3m

         along Eumundi- Noosa Road frontage. These landscaped strips comprise landscaping suitable to the proposed

         use. This includes mulched garden beds with mass plantings of low level shrubs and ground covers to enable

         good visibility for traffic safety.


The proposal is therefore considered to adequately address all relevant aspects of this code.
