        i. a priority emphasis on conservation outcomes for the locality;
        ii. ferry access;
        iii. limited standards of access across the locality;
        iv. avoiding the construction of a vehicular bridge across to the Noosa North Shore;
        v. retention of existing vegetation with clearing kept to a minimum;
        vi. ecologically sustainable management of recreational visitors and activities; and
        vii. development areas limited to existing pattern, with no increase in the number of privately-
        owned lots; and
        viii. visitor accommodation and services are limited to existing type and scale; including general
        store, hotel, caravan park, camping grounds and built accommodation;

The proposed servicing of the development does not rely on the additional loading of the existing
ferry services for water servicing. Clearing associated with the development is kept to a minimum
within an area of the site adjacent to bushfire hazard maintenance tracks and in a location not
visible from the road or adjoining houses.
The retreat is proposed to be connected to existing road and electricity networks, with no major
increase in demand warranting further upgrading of the network. The scale of the development is
compatible with the surrounding development within the Visitor Mixed Use zone and provides for
a high value tourism product directly associated with the environmental values of the site and
surrounding national park.

p) The locality supports two communities and offers accommodation for visitors;

The retreat offers accommodation for visitors on the site within the private dwelling.

r) Noosa North Shore offers accommodation for visitors to the locality in two areas:- i the campground
located on the beachfront; and ii accommodation located east of Lake Cooroibah off Beach Road;

Accommodation for visitors is appropriately located within the designated Visitor Mixed Use zone
located east of Lake Cooroibah off Beach Rd.

s) The scale and form of buildings and other structures are—
        i closely related to the setting and existing buildings;
        ii designed to be responsive to the informal coastal and riverside character of the locality;
        iii integrated into the landform and landscape; and
        iv consistent with the amenity and safety expectations of the community;

The building form has been architecturally designed to match in with the surrounding bush using
timber cladding, pitched roofs, recessive colours and breaks in building bulk. The associated
lagoon is located in the southeastern corner of the site and set into the natural contours so as not
to be visible from surrounding roads or houses.
There will be no importing of fill or removal of cut to construct the lagoon.

t) Residential development and Visitor accommodation is characterised by—
        i low impact buildings of a domestic scale within densely landscaped settings;
        ii building designs that are well articulated and that use design elements to present a pleasant
        appearance to public places;
