QBFP Noosa Boatshed Planning Report

            The removal of vegetation from the site in 2017 has opened views to the Noosa River from nearby residential
             development (Figure 12). Low growing landscaping will be used to soften the built form boatshed and the patrol
             building while assisting to ensure views to the Noosa River are maintained.

     The darker colours of the modified roof and timber finishes appear more natural and significantly help reduce glare
     and the apparent bulk of the boatshed from Russel Street.

     Although the setback of the current boatshed from the eastern boundary (at approximately 2.3m) is slightly less than
     the acceptable outcome1, there is sufficient space in this area for new planting to buffer and preserve the amenity of
     adjacent land uses (in combination with existing intervening vegetation), and protect the natural character of the River.
     Please refer to the proposed Landscape plans at Appendix F.

     The boatshed replaces an existing shed on the subject land and is compatible with the history of its land use as a
     patrol base. The community can reasonably expect that this use would continue to operate. Additionally, it is also a
