                     h)     Business Uses are energy and water efficient.”

Comments:
         (a)  The built scale of the proposal will be slightly less than that of
the adjoining ‘Marquesas’ commercial complex fronting the David Low Way.
It is intended that the scale will be ‘softened’ by the use of varying colour
tones, materials, textures and strategic landscaping elements. The human
scale will be similar to the existing village centre and development on the
north side of Heron Street, and the Peregian Beach tavern.
         (b)  The proposal is intended to visually integrate with the
neighbouring ‘Marquesas’ complex and Peregian Beach Community
Centre, largely through the use of quality landscaping, and the use of
sympathetic building materials and design elements.
         (c)  The existing character and amenity of the streetscape is mixed
              due to:
                  • The David Low Way being a relatively high traffic use,
                      and

                 •   The nature of varying neighbouring uses, being –

                             The Marquesas complex (S-E)
                             The Peregian Beach Community Centre(N)
                             The Telstra Building (N)
                             The sports field (W)
The co-location of the proposed development with the adjoining
‘Marquesas’ complex and community centre does not result in any major
incompatibility, as it is expected that the occupants and visitors to both the
developments will utilise the proposal’s convenience services/facilities.
       (d)    An attractive outdoor ‘setting’ adjacent to the buildings is
proposed and is able to be conditioned.
       (e)    Considerable attention will be provided to the visual outcome
to ensure compatibility with the local community’s landscape and
streetscape expectations.
       (f)    Unlike the traditional village centre, the proposal will not be
able to offer the same degree of informality without significant landscaping
elements within Rufous Street (and possibly the David Low Way) frontages,
and the development itself.
       (g)    Safe and secure outcomes will be fundamental to the design.
       (h)    The traffic impact assessment by PTT Consulting is intended to
       ensure logical efficient and safe traffic movement.
       (i)    The proposal will not jeopardise any environmental or heritage
values, of which no known ones exist.
