 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




e) The landscaped open space area to the east will also be used to improve stormwater
   management on the site, which is focused on improving water quality from the existing
   sealed areas and the roof water, with some water reuse also being proposed. The matter
   of vehicular access has been addressed below.

The proposed PAC complies with performance outcome PO18.

The proposed development is also consistent with the overall outcomes, in that:

a) It is expected that development in the Community Facility Zone provide for a community
   related activities and infrastructure that meet the current and future needs of the
   community (OO(a)).

b) The development is for a community use annotated on the zoning map (OO(b) & (e)).

c) The development is for a community activity that provides for opportunities for growth in
   artistic and community services (OO(c)).

d) When considering the existing built form and infrastructure on the site and surrounding
   area, the proposed PAC is of a scale, appearance, and intensity that is compatible with
   existing and the intended development in adjacent zones, including the industrial zone
   to the south and west and the Community Facilities Zone in Goodchap Street opposite
   the site to the west (OO(s)).

e) The PAC has been designed to maximise energy efficiency, water conservation and is
   responsive to public transport and encourages active transport by students and staff
   (OO(u)).

The proposed development complies with the Community Facility Zone Code.

Issue – Building Bulk

Acceptable Outcome AO7.1 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code requires development to take the
form of small separate buildings rather than large single bulky buildings, to not visually
dominate the street, surrounding spaces or the existing skyline. Acceptable Outcome AO18.2 of
the zone code also require buildings to have a maximum wall length of 30 metres in one plane.
Whilst it is acknowledged that the subject land presently has a building that is non-compliant
with the acceptable outcomes above, it is noted that this building was established well before
the current planning scheme came to effect.

The proposed building bulk is not supported as it significantly detracts from the desired future
character of the area. The submitted plans clearly indicate the proposal can operate as smaller
separate buildings.
