              additional character landscaping, shade trees, open grassland and furniture. This would also draw many water
              passengers who alight at the marina to explore their way into the town centre and generally heighten awareness of the
              gallery.

 (12)   Gateways – The following primary gateways have been identified as important arrival experiences for all modes of transport.
        Consideration has been given to the experience of town character (landscape, built form, views, etc.), legibility of the town and the
        hierarchy and role of spaces and streets. Primary Gateways typically mark the arrival at the edge of the centre and include a key
        view ­ a ‘first impression’ of Tewantin as a place and a community. Recommendation for gateway treatments are:
        (a)   Intersection of Poinciana Avenue and Sidoni Street – an important arrival point for pedestrians, cyclist and traffic, at the
              western edge with multi­ directional access to all areas of the centre. The gateway experience could be reinforced and
              enhanced through:
              (i)     Improved wayfinding signage; and
              (ii)    Improved pedestrian and cyclist connection.

        (b)   Intersection of Memorial Avenue and Donella Street – an important arrival point for cyclists and traffic (less so
              pedestraians), at the south eastern edge with multi­ directional access to all areas of the centre and to the Marina. The RSL
              successfully addresses the corner. The gateway experience would be enhanced through improved pedestrian connection.
        (c)   Intersection of Memorial Avenue and Lake Street – an important arrival point from the east to the majority of recreation, civic
              and arts destinations. It is particularly the main pedestrian corridor with interesting intersection geometry having wide and
              expansive spaces for landscaping, and potential view corridor to Noosa River and Lake Doonella. Recommendations to
              reinforce and enhance the gateway experience include:
              (i)     Take advantage of generous road verges / interesting wedge spaces to create a mostly ‘green’ arrival experience;
              (ii)    Swap Martin Park and the car park / boat trailer parking to improve the quality and experience of the river parkland;
                      and
              (iii)   Improve pedestrian and cyclist connections.


 SC6.8.6              Noosaville

 (1)    Key urban design and character outcomes for Noosaville are listed below:
        (a)   Reinforce architectural design requirements in keeping with the Noosa style and general scale of newer development in
              Mary Street / Thomas Street.
        (b)   Ensure new development on Thomas Street is consistent with the streetscape character, addresses the street edge and
              contains active frontages.
        (c)   Where minimum floor heights are specified ensure buildings are accessible for people with a disability.
        (d)   Review car parking arrangements to ensure sufficient car parking but not at the expense of pedestrian safety or walkability
              of Noosaville. Parking within the road reserve may be preferable to parking between the building and the footpath.

 (2)    The Noosaville Framework and Character Plan is located in the Noosaville Local Plan code in the Noosa Plan. It identifies a
        number of key urban design and character elements which support the overall outcomes and performance outcomes for
        Noosaville. Each of these elements are describe in more detail below to provide some context and guidance in achieving the
        outcomes of the Noosa Plan.
 (3)    Key Views – Views identified as important to the character, legibility and experience of Noosaville:
        (a)   Contextual views – typically distant views to landscape elements, often layered with more localised features. Key contextual
              views for Noosaville are views to Noosa River. Future development in the private and public realm should retain and
              enhance:
              (i)     views to Noosa River and the River environment;
              (ii)    views to distant Noosa Heads and Keyser Island Conservation Park environment.

        (b)   Appendix 1 SC6.8 includes photos of key contextual views for Noosaville.

 (4)    Open Space and Landscape Treatments ­ Central Noosaville has a number of open space assets within and adjoining the
        centre that make a significant contribution to the place character. Key landscape treatments include:
        (a)   The typically high quality of landscaping in Thomas Street. It is characterised by the natural/ informal style of planting and
              the high level of shade created by the trees in the centre median and the verges. The high quality should be maintained and
              enhanced through additional shade tree planting in the verges (particularly on the eastern side where there are a couple of
              gaps). This would then set the benchmark for other local landscaping. It is recommended that the northern end of Thomas
              Street be distinct from the southern end as the recommended ‘main street’ for the centre.
