Noosaville local plan code
The overall outcomes of the code recognise and reinforce the Noosaville waterfront location and
character by encouraging high-quality, low-rise subtropical buildings and landscape design that
promotes a casual outdoor lifestyle. Buildings are to have a strong relationship with the outdoors
through the incorporation of natural materials verandas and glazing.
The following sections from the overall outcomes, performance and acceptable outcomes are most
relevant to the site and proposed development.
e.    Development design and siting responds to the relatively flat topography of Noosaville by
      creating visual interest and differentiation in built form through design and the application of:
       i.   a range of textures, colours, styles and finishes;
      ii.   a range of architectural elements within the context of a sub-tropical architectural
            theme;
     iii.   varied roof heights, that cumulatively make a positive contribution to an interesting
            skyline;
     iv.    varied setbacks which create opportunities for both landscaping and design variety;
            and
      v.    retention of mature trees and the provision of new landscaping which create attractive
            spaces between buildings.

(aa) Development in the Tourist Accommodation zone on Gympie Terrace provides a range of
     well-designed entertainment and catering activities which may operate late at night and
     include live music which creates a vibrant atmosphere
(ab) Strong visual and pedestrian linkages to the Noosa River foreshore and surrounding areas
     are protected.
(ac) Noosa River foreshore adjacent to Gympie Terrace is retained as an important recreational
     space for the local community and visitors. Development or operational works maintains it
     as an idyllic place for passive recreation, walking, dog exercise and access to the Noosa
     River including ferry stops.
