will not have a significant adverse impact upon the amenity of any surrounding residential
properties.

It is accepted that the development is not consistent with development normally associated
with the Attached Housing Zone; however, the site enjoys existing use rights, which predate
the current planning scheme. Further, the proposed development does not seek an increase
in the scale and intensity of the uses allowed, but rather seeks to rationalise the current and
historic uses on the land.

In my opinion, the proposed development does not comprise the achievement of the above
desired environmental outcomes.

Noosaville Locality Code

Under the Noosaville Locality Code, the overall outcomes are the purpose of the code. The
most relevant overall outcomes under the Noosaville Locality Code are discussed below.

    a) New uses and works are located, designed and managed to:
          i. be compatible with other uses and works;
         ii. maintain the safety of people and works;
        iii. avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other
             premises, including acoustic and visual qualities; and
        iv. avoid significant adverse effects on the natural environment, including native
             habitat removal, fragmentation and attrition;

Comment: Given the current use on the land, the historic uses that have and are allowed to
occur, as well as the nature of the adjoining commercial and industrial uses, it is suggested
that the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding uses, which are mixed.
Further, provided the industrial uses are limited in nature as suggested above, the proposed
development will not adversely impact upon the amenity enjoyed by users on adjoining
premises. This is from both an acoustic or visual amenity perspective. In fact, it is intended
under the proposal to undertake a number of improvements that will significantly improve
the visual amenity of the existing development and the streetscape generally and will also
provide additional landscaping at the rear of the development.

    d) Attached accommodation is focussed on the areas closest to the Noosaville Business
       Centre, in areas with good public transport facilities and in areas with ready access to
       the recreation features of the locality.

Comment: The proposed development is not for attached housing and the subject land is not
located close to the Noosaville Business Centre and consequently does not offend the above
overall outcome. Further, having regard to the mix of land uses in the locality and its proximity
from the Noosaville Business Centre, it is questioned that attached housing is the best form
of development for the subject and adjoining land.
