 30.        Provide further information, including detailed elevations and/or perspectives, demonstrating the
            proposed development will be articulated to effectively mitigate the visual impact of its bulk and that it
            will have an architectural scale consistent with nearby structures.
 31.        Provide further information, including detailed elevations and/or perspectives, demonstrating the

 32.        Provide further information demonstrating the proposed development
             a) Will have a visual bulk and architectural scale consistent with structures on adjoining or nearby
                  land;
             b) Will not present an appearance of bulk to adjacent properties, roads, or other areas in the vicinity

            the large building effectively on a corner site provides for an interesting and decorative features and
            design elements consistent with performance outcome PO25.
 34.        Provide plans that clearly shown the extent the area of land affected by the proposed development for

Response:


28. The attached revised Architectural Plans and the Architectural Statement of Intent prepared by
       Buchan Group, together with the Landscape Concept Plan prepared by Wild Studios, include the
       detail needed to showcase how the design elements of the amended proposal combine to facilitate
       the creation of a new sub-tropical built environment that responds to the Noosa Design Principles.

29. The amended design proposes a revised masterplan that locates a series of smaller scale 2-3 storey
       “pavilion style” at grade buildings in precincts that are connected by a series of landscaped external
       and internal connections and public spaces that focus on providing great amenity for the public
       around and through the development. Refer to the revised Architectural Plans and the
       Architectural Statement of Intent prepared by Buchan Group, together with the Landscape Concept
       Plan prepared by Wild Studios.

30. Primary landscaped open space with a high level of sub-tropical “Noosa Style” amenity is provided
       for visitors, residents and workers alike by the 3000m2 Village Green. The Village Green is a truly
       civic space which will provide extensive landscaped shaded areas and covered cross connections for
       passive recreation, large open turfed and paved areas for active recreation including a children’s
       play area and a separate paved area at the western end that provides both active waterplay and
       opportunity to hold community, cultural and entertainment events with a backdrop of the extensive
       30-35m vegetation in the Covenant J Open Space zone.
