               vi.      Given the significant increase in pedestrian movements across the internal roadway,
                        further consideration of the location of the expected Special Place – Arrival/ Meeting/
                        Town Centre and Public Congregation and Activation area under the NBC Framework
                        & Character Plan (Figure 7.2.4.5), which needs to be provided within the Retail Precinct.
               vii.     When considering the pedestrian permeability within the NBC, additional information is
                        required about the link to be provided from the existing Noosa Civic (Stage 1), given the
                        location of the internal loop road, which provides access for cars, service vehicles and
                        public transport (buses), with pedestrian movements across this area to substantially
                        increase.
              viii.     The permeable pedestrian links to be provided to the proposed Village Mixed Use
                        development and what occurs with the existing service area at the eastern end of Noosa
                        Civic (Stage 1), given a new servicing and loading area is also being provided for Stage
                        2, on the opposite side of the internal roadway, which is not conducive to pedestrian
                        movement towards the east.
               ix.      The various areas of the retail tenancies, and the nature of the retail uses in terms of the
                        various shops/tenancies and other uses that are being proposed with Stage 2 and what
                        implications this has from a traffic and parking perspective.
                x.      Details of the building design and materials being used in the elevation drawings without
                        being screened by trees to properly consider the nature of the design and the
                        appearance of the built form and at a reasonable scale.
                 Information Required:
                 1. Provided amended proposal plans for the development at a reasonable scale that
                    demonstrates what the development will look like having regard to the issues discussed
                    above and below.

                 2. Provide further information about the landscaping treatments to be achieved for the
                    development in particular deep planting around the perimeter of the site and within the
                    carparking areas, while having regard to the changes being sought to the proposed built
                    form to provide for a “Noosa Style” of development.


                 Integration and Connectivity
                 Issue:
                 Under the Major Centre Zone Code, overall outcome (h), states:
                 Development provides an integrated built form with visual and physical connectivity across
                 and throughout the Noosa Business Centre including the subregional transit facility.
                 In accordance with the Major Centre Zone Code, in particular PO58, it is expected that new
                 development will provide … convenient and legible connections are provided for pedestrians
                 and cyclists to the site, particularly having regard to linkages with existing and proposed public
                 transport infrastructure, the open space network, other centres and community-related
                 spaces.
                 Further, under PO59, it is expected that … public or semi-public spaces are integrated into
                 the centre's key pedestrian and cycle networks and are designed to provide for and create a
                 safe environment and legible wayfinding.
                 Under PO60, it is expected that … pedestrian and bicycle links are constructed throughout the
                 centre with appropriate external connections provided. At AO60, pedestrian and cycle
                 networks are provided where identified indicatively on Figure 7.2.4.5 (NBC Framework and
                 Character Plan).
