 The original subdivision of the site identified the key areas of remnant and regrowth vegetation warranting
 protection. These areas were transferred to Council and the remaining areas zoned for development. The
 proposal seeks to retain more than 90% of vegetation on the site in accordance with the attached
 ecological report.

 oo) For the Visitor Mixed Use Zone—Visitor accommodation with associated Business Uses serve visitors to
 the locality; where—
         i they are located within the existing allotment developed for Visitor accommodation and Business
         Uses with no further subdivision;
         ii they continue to provide the same level of accommodation and business services as existing;
         iii the premises are low impact, low density development forms of domestic scale;
         iv development has a distinct open space feel, reflecting the seclusion and values of the Noosa
         North Shore; and the commercial attractions established at the sites are related to recreational
         experiences offered in the locality;

 The proposal does not include any associated business activities with the retreat and associated lagoon.
 All uses are for private activities associated with guests staying at the retreat. The development has a
 distinct open space feel with no neighbours able to see any works, reflecting the feeling of seclusion and
 values of the Noosa North Shore, and consistent with the tourism strategies of both Tourism Noosa and
 Noosa Council.



The proposed development meets the corresponding Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions of
the code in relation to height of buildings, setbacks and roof form. The location of the retreat building
and lagoon are designed to avoid significant changes to the light, noise and amenity of users of
adjoining or nearby houses. Vegetation is to be retained around the Beach Road access and the
retreat is located more than 600m from the access.
An assessment against the detailed Outcomes specific to the Visitor Mixed Use zone are provided
below.
