CIVIC PLAZA AND PUBLIC REALM SPACES
Noosa Style – As referenced in the Visual Amenity and Landscape Integration Report (Cardno Chenoweth),
the concept of ‘Noosa Style’ will be embodied in the design through the following principles: The landscape concept aims to create a unique local feel to the civic space by recognising the sub-tropical
climate and local natural features in creating ‘spaces for people’ that integrate with the built form of the
• Integration of the built form with the environment and landscape setting; development.
• Local native vegetation forms a dominant landscape element; The landscape and civic design compliments and reinforces the architectural premise of “Connecting People
to the Forest”. Civic spaces are framed against the backdrop of the Covenant J vegetation, giving a shaded
natural feel to the space –being nestled within the local bushland.
The design focuses on the desired pedestrian usability of the site through creating safe, enjoyable linkages
