        iii building designs that fit well with the coastal and riverside character of the locality and feature
        lightweight timber or cladding materials suited to the climate; and
        iv buildings of a domestic scale;

The building is of a domestic scale in keeping with the Beach Road Holiday Houses and surrounded by a
densely landscaped setting. Materials incorporate light weight timbers and cladding materials with the
house orientated to the north east to capture coastal breezes.

u) Development offering Visitor accommodation and services is low key to avoid changes to the character
as a result of excessive visitor numbers and adverse environmental impacts from over-use;

The small scale offering of the retreat ensures privacy for visitors and is not reliant on excessive visitor
numbers and/or adverse environmental impacts from over-use. The development is akin to a private golf
course such as that located within the Noosa Shire at 368 Dath Henderson Rd, Tinbeerwah, or Makepeace
Island and only used by guests. This reinforces Council’s and Tourism Noosa’s focus on ‘Value over Volume’
products and is to be an exclusive resort experience.

v) Residential Uses and Visitor accommodation are well managed so they do not adversely impact upon
land identified as open space;

The proposed visitor accommodation will be managed so as not to impact on any nearby open space land,
including the North Shore Wilderness Campground.

y) A range of nature based recreational experiences utilise the natural assets of the area and its
separateness from the balance of Noosa as a means to enhance the experience of visitors and residents;

The private retreat allows for the natural enjoyment of the site and recreational experiences which
enhance the experience of visitors using the site.

z) Reticulated water supply and sewerage are not provided to the locality as part of any Council
programme;

The site can cater for reticulated water supply and sewerage onsite without impacting the surrounding
national park or placing additional load on Council networks.

aa) There is no adverse impact on ground and surface water quality, human health and amenity as a
consequence of the on-site disposal of effluent;

The attached report by a suitably qualified person demonstrates the onsite advanced environmental
treatment system will not cause any adverse impacts on ground and surface waters.

bb) Underground electricity supply is extended through the locality;

An electrical concept plan and investigation has been undertaken to ensure underground electricity can
be provided to the site for all activities without needing to upgrade the existing network.

cc) A ferry crossing of the Noosa River at Tewantin is maintained as the only means of vehicular access to
Noosa North Shore from the south;

The private retreat and associated lagoon are for private purposes within the Visitor Mixed Use zone and
does not increase the capacity of the road network to warrant upgrades to the existing traffic network.

kk) Areas of native remnant or regrowth vegetation, including their biodiversity and habitat values are
protected;
