This is a modern wall located within the former loggia space of the original hotel building. Its
demolition has no impact on the cultural heritage significance of the Royal Mail Hotel Local Heritage
Place.

The extent of retention and conservation of the existing fabric of the building external and internal, is
much greater in the revised scheme than the lodged scheme.

6        Assessment of heritage impacts
The following section discusses the potential impacts of the revised scheme for the site on the cultural
heritage significance of the former Royal Mail Hotel Local Heritage Place.

The Noosa Plan 2020 Heritage Overlay Code includes provisions for the assessment of development
proposals both of Local Heritage Places and character places.

The code contains a Purpose, Overall Outcomes and Performance Outcomes that the proposed
development of places included in the Local Heritage Overlay is to satisfy.

The purpose of the Heritage Overlay Code is to ensure:

     •    development on an identified local heritage place is compatible with the heritage significance
          of the place; and
     •    the streetscape character and significance of identified character areas are conserved and
          enhanced.
Development on a local heritage place is compatible with the heritage significance of the place by:

     •    retaining local heritage places to a level that ensures the retention of their cultural heritage
          significance;
     •    maintaining or encouraging as much as possible the appropriate use or adaptive reuse of a
          local heritage place to provide for the future
     •    protection of its heritage values, while also protecting the amenity of adjacent uses;
     •    protecting, as far as practical, the context and setting of the local heritage place;
     •    ensuring that development on a local heritage place is sympathetic with the cultural heritage
          significance and retains valued heritage features of the place.
     •    Development is appropriately managed to prevent damage and disturbance to local heritage
          places during construction and operational phases of development.
