   EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
   A report on this application was presented to Council at the Planning and Environment

   non-compliance with the planning scheme’s height requirements. The report also
   acknowledged that some minor changes could be supported. The report was referred to
   General Committee on 18 July 2022 for further consideration. The applicant subsequently
   requested the application be deferred to allow an opportunity to present the proposal to
   Councillors.

   RECOMMENDATION
   That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
   Committee Meeting dated 12 July 2022 and the Further Report to the General Meeting dated

   Commercial Business - Type 1 Office, Commercial Business - Type 2 Medical and
   Reconfiguration of a Lot – Access Easement situated at 36-40 Hofmann Dr Noosaville and:
   A.   Refuse the request for increased height and design for the following reasons:
        1.    The increased height does not comply with Acceptable outcome AO16.1 (b) (iii)
              of the Major Centre Zone code and Performance Outcome PO16 a), b) & c) of
              the Major Centre Zone code in Noosa Plan 2020 and Probable solution S8.1 d)
              and Specific outcomes a), c) & d) the Noosaville Locality Code in Noosa Plan
              2006, as it will dominate the site, skyline and surrounding area and is not in
              keeping with the character of the area.
        2.    Changes to the width of balconies and roof overhangs reduces the architectural
              appeal of the building from that previously approved.
   B.   Advise the applicant the following changes are considered generally in accordance
        with the approval:
        1.    Changes to the front entry, as shown on Elevations (East) Plan no DA-30.10,

        2.    Reduced gross floor area as shown on Plan no. DA-00.00 and floor plans;
        3.    Changes to motorcycle parking.
