    Principle          Key Attributes
3   Responsiveness        Development responds and maintains the existing features of the site including
    to existing site       landform, which allows the retention of native vegetation.

                       NOTE: This principle does not imply that development on slopes must be small-scale
                       buildings which ‘touch the ground lightly’ with minimal earthworks. There are many
                       examples in Noosa where buildings have been part-excavated into the landform, but
                       the final outcome (with landform restoration and landscaping) appears to ‘fit’ into a
                       hillside.

4   Informal setting   Development creates or enhances informal places, including interfaces with open
                       space; and avoids overly urban formality such as extensive paved plaza spaces.

5   High quality       Where built form is exposed to view, design is to a high standard and materials are of
                       a high quality.
