An appreciation of the attributes of design of the proposed gazebo and of the site and its setting
has enabled the identification of the following relevant considerations for the purpose of this
submission to Council:

    (1) The proposed gazebo is not roofed by a solid fixed surface but rather its roofing material
        includes timber battens. As such the proposed slatted roof will
             a. not create any significant refection onto surrounding premises, and
             b. not generate any significant stormwater runoff from the proposed structure.

    (2) The proposed structure will rely the footings for the existing retaining walls and paved
        outdoor area. As such no significant additional footings are being proposed.

    (3) The proposed structure will not require the existing vegetation around this area to be
        removed or even looped. This includes the existing established tuckeroos trees
        (Cupaniopsis anacardioides) and also the existing established row of Fraser Island apple
        (Acronychia imperforate) that has been established and maintained by the landowner to
        provide a visual buffer between the existing outdoor area and the 1.5 m. wide public
        pathway adjoining to the south. As such all existing vegetation within the site around the
        proposed structure will be able to continue to grow and contribute positively to the setting.

    (4) The roof height of the proposed structure will be very similar to the current height of the
        existing tuckeroos which will continue to grow in height. As such the silhouette of the
        proposed structure will be generally screened by the existing tuckeroos trees (Cupaniopsis
        anacardioides) and also by the existing established row of Fraser Island apple (Acronychia
        imperforate) from surrounding public land.

    (5) The proposed roof form is level which is essentially parallel to the existing turfed and paved
        terrace surfaces. As such the roof form with be in context with the existing turfed and/or
        paved terraces.

    (6) The proposed gazebo will cover the existing outdoor paved area plus a 3.5m. extension to
        this existing paved area. As such no significant earthworks are proposed other than for the
        3.5m. extension of the say 0.2m thick concrete slab. Therefore minimal additional hard
        surfaces are being proposed.

    (7) The maximum height of the proposed structure will be about 4.85m. above the existing
        constructed surface which equates to about 1.5m below the height of the nearby building
        approved to the south in MCU2021-0212, (Refer to Section 2 Gazebo in Sheet 4 in
        Attachment A) As such the proposal will be significantly lower than this building to the
        south once constructed.

    (8) The proposal will not include any overhead lighting but rather discrete lighting as illustrated
        in Sheets 16 and 17 in Attachment A. As such lighting sources will be positioned low and
        within the proposed gazebo.

    (9) Slatted screens are proposed on the roof and along sections of the sides of the structure.
        As such the structure is not be enclosed and vertical slatted screens can supplement that
        privacy offered the existing vegetation to the south and west.


Relevant Matters Relating to the Assessment of the Proposal against the 2020 Noosa Plan

It would appear that the proposed gazebo is not deemed to be a “building” or part of a “dwelling”
as administratively defined with the 2020 Noosa Plan as quoted below.
