                         Figures 4 -7: Examples of proposed aluminium finishes

Assessment
The proposal seeks to delete condition 12 which relates to the replacement of ‘timber look
aluminium louvre screens’, ‘timber look aluminium rafters’ and ‘timber look aluminium batten
screens’ with timber screens, rafters and battens consistent with Tewantin’s heritage character.
It is considered reasonable to modify condition 12 on the basis that the aluminium material
proposed to be used by the applicant has the appearance of timber and is consistent with the
intent of condition 12 in that the material will complement the heritage character of Tewantin. It
will also provide an opportunity for the RSL to reduce ongoing maintenance, repair and costs.
It should be noted that the requirement to amend the materials from aluminium to timber was not
part of the original officer recommendation to Council.
As per the applicant’s suggestion that the material be provided to Council prior to its installation
to ensure that Council’s satisfaction it is recommended that condition 12 is modified to reflect this
requirement.
Accordingly, it is recommended that Condition 12 now read:
      12.   Prior to the installation of ‘timber look aluminium louvre screens’, ‘timber look
            aluminium rafters’ and ‘timber look aluminium batten screens’, a sample of the
            material must be provided to Council demonstrating to Council’s reasonable
            satisfaction that the material is reflective and in keeping with the heritage character of
            the area.
