                       contributes to building bulk and provides opportunities for overlooking to
                       adjacent properties.
                   f. The proposed roof top terrace creates opportunities for potential privacy
                       impacts on neighbouring properties due to overlooking.
             2.   The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcomes 9.4.1.2 (2) (a) (b) (c) and
                  Performance Outcome 6 and Acceptable Outcomes 6.1and 6.2 of the
                  Driveways and Parking Code as:
                   a. Sufficient carparking is not available on site to accommodate the likely
                       demand for carparking on site and the site is located where on street
                       parking is insufficient and undesirable.
                   b. The proposed car stacker is not suitable for parking as it lacks sufficient
                       clearance for operation and is impractical for use by guests and staff
                       unfamiliar with such systems.
                   c. The development does not provide the required number of functional car
                       spaces including service vehicles as the proposed bus park is not sized to
                       accommodate a small rigid vehicle.
                   d. No provision has been made for motorcycles and bicycles.
             3.   The proposed does not comply with Performance Outcome 7 and Acceptable
                  Outcome AO7.1 of the Driveways and Parking Code as:
                   a. The development fails to provide adequate loading and manoeuvring
                       areas on site to accommodate the anticipated service vehicles.
             4.   The proposal is not consistent with Overall Outcome 9.4.10.2 (2) (d) and
                  Performance and Acceptable Outcomes PO3, AO3.2(b), AO3.2(d), AO3.2(e)
                  and AO3.2(f) of the Waste Management Code as:
                   a. The development has not adequately demonstrated that waste can be
                       serviced on site.
                   b. The proposed waste storage area has not been designed to allow for
                       unobstructed access for collection by service vehicles (i.e., on-site
                       servicing).
                   c. Kerbside servicing is unable to occur while remaining clear from all existing
                       on-street carparks, pedestrian footpaths and without impeding traffic flow
                       on Russell Street.
             5.   The proposal is not consistent with Performance Outcome PO9 and the
                  corresponding Acceptable outcomes AO9.1 & AO9.2 of the Visitor
                  accommodation Code as:
                   a. The proposed area of landscaping is significantly less than the area
                       required by the planning scheme;
                   b. The proposed landscaping widths to side and rear boundaries are
                       significantly less than that required by the planning scheme;
                   c. The undersupply of onsite landscaping area and widths to boundaries
                       results in a development which restricts the ability to incorporate
                       landscaping between the site and neighbouring premises / buildings and
                       to assist with softening the built form.
     There are no relevant reasons to approve the proposed development to vary from
     development intensity specified by the Noosa Plan 2020 for this area.
             B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
                Act 2016.
             C. Note the report incorrectly identifies the required number of bicycle spaces and
                motorcycle spaces which should each be identified as 7.
