As detailed in Item 10, the increase in the bedroom numbers achieves a population density of
60.5 persons per hectare which complies with the requirements of the Noosa Heads Locality
Code (100 persons per hectare).

As detail in Item 12, the reduction in the lobby area is a direct result of a detailed economic
assessment and review of tourist preferences in the Noosa Region.

Please provide a comparison of the employment generation of the proposal versus that of the
CAS. It is recommended that this comparison be provided for both the overall schemes, as
well as the individual components as detailed in Item 37 of this Information Request.

It is anticipated that the proposed development will employ a similar number of staff as the
CAS as there is no change in unit numbers. In this regard, it is estimated 96 full time, part
time and contract employees will be employed on site in shifts. These figures do not include
the Health Spa facility staffing, which is anticipated to be approximately 14 persons.

It is noted that the proposal will further contribute to the local economy of Noosa as a number
of everyday services will be contracted out, including all laundry work and automotive repairs.

Please provide detail regarding the proposed way-finding strategy for the restaurant and
conference facilities both intemal and extemal to the site.

As previously detailed the internal and external way-finding strategy will be submitted as part
of the Operational Works application to Council. It is noted that a Linkages Plan prepared by
Edaw AECOM is included as Attachment 14.
