Minor Change Existing Approval 132002.220285.I (As Published)
88. All advertising signage shall accord with Council’s Local Law No. 16 - Control of Advertising.
To this end the applicant shall be permitted to erect 2 pylon signs at the entry points shown
on the approved site plan. Further, 1 pylon sign is permitted on the showroom site at the
centre of the frontage to the internal loop road.
Telecommunications
89. The provision of high-speed telecommunications infrastructure is required for the
development. Provision for full broad band capacity within the subject site to every tenable
area is to be provided that gives access to broadband infrastructure capable of providing at
least 150Mbit/s. Such capability is to be provided either by underground conduit or other low
visual impact method. The intra-site broadband infrastructure shall connect to a suitable
external broadband network.
Energy Efficiency
90. The applicant shall provide a report detailing what measures have been undertaken with the
detailed design of the development to implement the strategies suggested in the Noosa Shire
Business Centre Energy Efficiency Assessment Report prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff
dated April 2003. Further the report will detail how the development proposal complies with
the energy efficiency conditions contained in this approval and will also examine the viability
of delivering at least one third of the Centre’s energy requirements through renewable energy
technology. The report is to be submitted prior to the issue of a development permit for
building works and shall be to the reasonable satisfaction of the Manager Land Use.
91. The design of building over 2,500m2 gross floor area shall meet the Performance Criteria of
the Brisbane City Council’s City Plan 2000 – Energy Efficient Code (in effect as at April 2003).
Design which meets the Acceptable Solutions of the Code shall be deemed to satisfy this
condition. Design which does not meet the Acceptable Solutions of that Code, but which
otherwise reasonably responds to the Performance Criteria using the alternative mechanism
provided in the Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) report (April 2003), shall be deemed to satisfy this
condition. This requirement excludes retail speciality tenancies and display areas within the
showrooms.
92. The design of buildings less than 2,500m² gross floor area shall meet the Performance
Criteria set out in the “Design for Climate” Energy Efficiency Policy of the draft Gold Coast
City Planning Scheme (as at April 2003). Design which meets the Acceptable Solutions of
that policy shall be deemed to satisfy this condition. Design which does not meet the
Acceptable Solutions of that policy, but which otherwise reasonably responds to the
Performance Criteria using the alternative mechanism provided in the Parsons Brinckerhoff
report (April 2003), shall be deemed to satisfy this condition. This requirement excludes retail
speciality tenancies and display areas within the showrooms.
93. Use of lightweight building materials is to be maximised wherever practicable. Hythermal
mass external walls shall be insulated and/or shaded from direct sunlight. The use of pre-
cast concrete slabs is to be minimised where practicable.
94. The design of the evaporative cooling system shall seek to optimise energy efficiency by
identifying and maximising the advantage of the prevailing winds at the site.
95. Spectrally selective and/or low emissivity glass shall be incorporated where appropriate in
the detailed design, so as to reduce heat transmission to and from buildings.
96. Hot water requirements of the site are to be provided by solar powered hot water systems,
heat pumps, or heat recovered from refrigeration or air-conditioning systems subject to
compliance with relevant health regulations. Where it is demonstrated to be satisfactory by
the Manager – Environmental Services that such technology is impracticable, five star solar
gas hot water will be accepted as an alternative.
97. The developer shall seek to apply the energy efficiency strategies listed at Table 5.1 of the
Energy Efficiency Assessment report where appropriate in the detailed design of buildings.
