NOOSA CIVIC EXPANSION – ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT
Built Form connecting people to the forest
The key architectural principle at the heart of the Noosa Civic expansion is a built form that connects people
to the forest and embraces the surrounding natural landscape. The architectural response draws inspiration
from its natural setting, complimenting and framing the native flora, while offering the public a unique
perspective and appreciation of the natural setting (refer to Appendix 2, Sheet 002, 003 & 004).
A variety of approaches have been implemented to allow the built form to connect people to the surrounding
forest. This has been achieved through;
Dissolving built form into the forest backdrop. To achieve this architectural principle, larger
enclosed forms are positioned adjacent to and behind tracts of forest to blend into the natural
landscape through the use of facetted walls and dark material choices (refer to Appendix 2, Sheet
006). This principle sets up a hierarchy in which the natural setting takes precedence over built
form.
Allowing key arrival spaces to emerge through the trees. While the majority of built form dissolves
away into the forest backdrop; key arrival and civic spaces will emerge from behind the forest
setting to provide clear public way-finding, circulation and interactive opportunities (refer to
Appendix 2, Sheet 007).
The formation of contemplative spaces which immerse with and frame the view of the forest
surrounds. These spaces encourage public appreciation of the surrounding forest through open air,
light-weight structures that create moments to pause, reflect and enjoy the natural setting (refer to
Appendix 2, Sheet 008).
Providing small amounts of surface car parking in clearings that maintain generous tracts of
existing native vegetation to the adjacent roads, while hiding the remaining majority of parking in an
undercroft. This methodology softens the harsh environment traditionally expected in car parks of
this nature and provides a cooler more shaded environment, increasing public comfort and visual
amenity (refer to Appendix 2, Sheet 009).
Feathering building edges where built forms meet the natural surrounds. This will be achieved
through the use of lightweight structures that seamlessly integrate with the forest canopies and
surrounding landscape forms (refer to Appendix 2, Sheet 010).
Providing outdoor civic and dining spaces that celebrate the beautiful Noosa climate and
picturesque natural surrounds of the precinct. These spaces will capture prevailing breezes and
provide a mix of shady, soft & hard scaped outdoor areas in conjunction with natural and
introduced vegetation to merge seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
The proposal respects the Council’s vision for the Shire Business Centre by celebrating the environmental
significance of the selected sites, maintaining the concept nodes of activity integrated within landscape
spaces and the natural environment, and upholding the pedestrian axis links across the site as the backbone
for the development. Civic and transit uses anchor these pedestrian axes. Broader consideration of long
term site potential demonstrates that this backbone of pedestrian activity is the key to creating a strong
sense of place through a communal experience of moving between a series of spaces that are seamlessly

Approach to the precinct’s built form
The overall built form is a journey through varying scales and architectural expressions. The development is
broken into several precincts that all relate back to the key architectural principle of connecting people to the
forest. The precinct zones are as follows:
Civic Entrance
Accessed off the northern roundabout, natural vegetation within Covenant J as well as retained natural
vegetation scattered throughout the informal public plaza in the foreground, form the backdrop to the
civic entrance of the development. The design of the civic space will permit a range of informal and
formal activities to take place within its bounds. Creating civic space that allows this diverse range of
activity, particularly around its edges, plays an important role in its success as noted by Christopher
Alexander and his colleagues from the Centre for Environmental Structure, whose work still remains
extremely relevant today;
“The life of a public square forms naturally around its edge. If the edge fails, then the space never
becomes lively. In more detail: people gravitate naturally toward the edge of public spaces. They do not
linger out in the open. If the edge does not provide them with places where it is natural to linger, the
space becomes a place to walk through, not a place to stop. It is therefore clear that a public square
should be surrounded by pockets of activity: shops, stands, benches, displays, rails, courts, gardens,
new racks.” (Alexander et al. 1977, p. 600).
The design of the new civic space addresses this ideal through several pockets of activity. The journey
through the civic space begins with an informal public plaza as mentioned above. This plaza will contain
clearings through the trees which will be dotted with local artwork and bench seating, encouraging
those within to linger and contemplate whilst being immersed within the trees. Continuing through the
space will lead to the more formalised suspended decking which to one side will be a landscaped open
area. This area can host a range of activities from informal play, picnicking to outdoor yoga. While, to
the other side of the decking will be a children’s playground adjacent to Covenant J. Family members
will be able to watch on from benches scattered along the decking or from the building addressing the
civic space which contains a restaurant at its lower level and multi-purpose room (for hire to the public)
over the top. The positioning of this building ensures a high level of passive surveillance and safety
while also providing opportunities for a lively atmosphere. Finally, in the centre of the civic space is an
approximately 12 meter by 10 meter decked plaza which will be able to host live music or entertainment
for small events/informal settings. On rare occasions for larger formal events, the adjacent small car
park can be closed off to expand into a large event space. The car park is to be treated with sculptural
shading elements, landscaping and pedestrian friendly surfaces similar to the civic space and
surrounding paths, to ensure that the overall effect is one integrated area.
The design for the civic space has used the background research provided by Alexander and his
colleagues as a basis for its formation (refer to Appendix 2, Sheet 002). The space addresses the main
entrance into the Noosa Civic expansion and ties seamlessly with the front end of the development to
ensure its potential success for the public.

Civic Street
Accessed off the northern roundabout, this traffic calmed street is addressed by a multitude of activity
in the forms of cafés, shops and restaurants with provision made for safe drop-off and taxi zones for
ease of access. These active zones are also highlighted by an arbour that creates a friendly, more
human scaled pedestrian environment alongside the street. The street which will be lined with an
avenue of trees and the roadway will be treated with pedestrian friendly surfaces that reflect the
materials used on the adjacent pedestrian pathways to create a continuous connection across the site.
Convenient and safe parking is provided adjacent to this street in the on grade parking lined with
existing vegetation to its edges.
Car parking
The bulk of car parking will be concealed in an under croft car park below the centre to ensure
maximum retention of existing forest. Consideration to match the floor level of the new retail centre to
the existing retail centre, permits the development to take advantage of existing site levels to construct
the under croft parking level. Clear pedestrian paths are provided to vertical circulation nodes that are
contained within light filled green shafts that define the retail entry points. The under croft also maintains
a visual connection to the Covenant J forest due to its adjacency and existing site levels, which in turn
also provides the car park with natural ventilation.
Small pockets of surface parking have been provided for convenience and are screened by a generous
8m setback band of vegetation which contains both retained existing native vegetation wherever
possible with supplementary native planting to restore any disturbed areas. These car parks are
provided in forest clearings and intermingled amongst feature trees / landscape elements providing a
cool, shaded environment to increase public comfort and visual amenity. Minimising the building / car
parking footprint and following the natural contours of the site allows the development to maximise
existing forest retention.
Pedestrian Amenity
Pedestrian pathways are structured for ease of movement along contours forming a primary circulation
network distinct from ring roads. New retail entries match the existing retail centre level encouraging
equitable access, safety and ease of way-finding.
Covenant J Pedestrian Link
The overall design methodology of the Noosa Civic expansion embraces its context. In particular, the
Pedestrian Link has been designed with the intent of showcasing the Covenant J forest as its
uppermost priority. The built form immerses with and opens out to the natural surrounds rather than
turning its back and underutilizing its context.
The design allows full appreciation of the surrounding natural beauty through the creation of open,
transparent areas for sitting and contemplation. Structural and material choices have also been carefully
selected to minimize the impact on the vegetation and visual interference by using suspended floors
with raw materials that will blend seamlessly into the forest. To maximise exposure to the link it has
been anchored at either end with food tenants and is naturally ventilated from the civic street entry
X:\712\712149\ARCH\PRESENTATION\001 DA Documentation\Architectural Statement\NOOSA CIVIC ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT.docx
Page 34
Architectural Design Report
through to the opposite end of the pedestrian link. Tables and seating are dotted along its pathway
encouraging diners to enjoy the natural surrounds as they eat, thus allowing the link to become a place 5
to stop, linger and appreciate.
The architectural form blurs the line between built form and forest through the use of; light-weight
timber structure, open or glass louvered sides for cross ventilation and undisturbed views of the forest,
and dappled filtered light which mimics the natural light and shadows of the tree canopies. Overall the
Pedestrian Link’s spaces have been crafted to create a sensuous experience while being immersed
within the Covenant J forest.
Building form and scale
The development facilitates a journey through the forest to community focused outdoor spaces arriving
at the shopping experience. Building forms have drawn inspiration from natural landforms; flora and
local architecture which are unique to Noosa and its community. The overall building form has a variety
of scales with the larger forms dissolving into the forest backdrop and the smaller civic spaces
addressed by lightweight open and active pavilions.
The Noosa Civic expansion reinvigorates the existing development, connecting pathways, landscape and
forest to reflect the unique spirit of the Noosa location. By celebrating climate and natural surrounds,
feathering built edges and framing views in and out, the Noosa Civic expansion will connect people to the
forest and create a sensuous architectural experience which will enhance the Noosa Shire Business Centre.

CIVIC SPACE Issue [A] - Report Appendix - December 2014
Forest clearing with seating/sculptural zones for relaxation and
1 contemplation/informal activities. Careful consideration must be
taken when clearing the trees to allow a peaceful space to be created.
Existing research explains this notion below:
“The trees that people love create special social places: places to be
in, and pass through, places you can dream about, and places you
can draw... If you are planting trees, plant them according to their
nature, to form enclosures, avenues, squares, groves, and single
spreading trees toward the middle of open spaces. And shape the
nearby buildings in response to trees, so that the trees themselves,
and the trees and buildings together, form places which people can
use.” (Alexander et.al. 1977, pp 799-800).
Creating civic space that is surrounded by activity is an
2 important element to it’s success. Existing research explains this
notion below:
“The life of a public square forms naturally around its edge. If the
edge fails, then the space never becomes lively. In more detail:
people gravitate naturally toward the edge of public spaces. They do
not linger out in the open. If the edge does not provide them with 75m
places where it is natural to linger, the space becomes a place to
walk through, not a place to stop. It is therefore clear that a public
square should be surrounded by pockets of activity: shops, stands,
benches, displays, rails, courts, gardens, new racks.” (Alexander
et.al. 1977, p 600).

Creating civic space that is an appropriate size for the relative 3
pedestrian density is key to its success. Existing research explains

“A town needs public squares; they are the largest, most public
rooms, that the town has. But when they are too large, they look and
feel deserted... Make a public square much smaller than you would
at first imagine; usually no more than 45 – 60 feet (14-18m) across,
never more than 70 feet (21m) across. This applies only to its width
in the short direction. In the long direction it can certainly be longer.”
(Alexander et.al. 1977, p 311-313).
