Response to sub-item 9:
As noted in response to Issues 2 and 4 above, we have provided additional information of the
intended nature, design, and operation of the Noosa Marketplace. The site’s is conducive for industrial
activity for a range of specialised manufacturers, creative producers, and small businesses. This is
discussed further in the layout for the marketplace building which shows adaptable floor plates, with
differing floor-to-ceiling heights and includes opportunities for inter-connected tenancies.
The revised architectural vision responds to Council’s concerns specifically with a series of key
interventions to the layout and built form of the integrated buildings throughout the site. These are
represented visually in the image below and discussed in detail below.

As noted in issue 3 sub-item 16 below, a character analysis is requested to demonstrate how the
scale of the proposed car park is mitigated. The diagram above clearly shows that the Noosa
Marketplace as a series of architecturally designed buildings framed by large vegetated covenant
areas which are a significant and identifiable entry feature distinctly found in Noosa. These covenant
areas are robust, protected in perpetuity by titling, and will be enhanced through intended
rehabilitation actions that can be controlled through appropriate conditions of approval – Refer to
Ecology Report in Appendix J.
The overall layout with a series of ‘Noosa style’ buildings is detailed further in the revised Architectural
Vision Statement – refer Appendix B. The proposed layout creates breaks within the building mass
that capitalise on the buildings spatial adjacencies and which have provided further opportunities for a
fine grain response. This includes an improved public realm and break-out areas where businesses,
employees and visitors can interact.
