PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                     6 AUGUST 2019


Overall Outcomes
Development sought in the Noosaville Visitor Mixed Use zone is predominately mixed use
development, incorporating business and residential uses. The Overall Outcomes for the locality
and zone are stated as:
a)          New uses and works are located, designed and managed to—
      i        be compatible with other uses and works;
      ii       maintain the safety of people and works;
      iii      avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other premises
               or surrounding area, including acoustic and visual qualities; and
      iv       avoid significant adverse effects on the natural environment, including native habitat
               removal, fragmentation and attrition;
u)    Variety in the built form is emphasised through the historical development of the locality
      and the many architectural styles;
y)    Development recognises and reinforces the waterfront location and coastal urban setting
      and character by providing for high quality, sub-tropical building and landscape design that
      promotes the casual outdoor lifestyle;
z)    Attached accommodation is focussed on the areas closest to the Noosaville Business
      Centre, in areas with good public transport facilities and in areas with ready access to the
      recreation features of the locality;
qq)   For the Visitor Mixed Use Zone—Business Uses are integrated with Multiple housing and
      visitor accommodation where development—
      iv.      respects the existing residential amenity of visitors and residents within and
               surrounding the development;
      viii.       is designed to ensure car parking does not visually dominate street frontages.
Specific Outcomes
The Specific Outcomes for the locality and zone are stated as:
Specific Outcome 56
      Gympie Terrace and side streets that run off it remain predominantly residential in nature
      providing accommodation for both visitors and permanent residents.
Specific Outcome 60
      Buildings and other structures present a high quality streetscape with building elements
      and forms that—
      a)       are consistent with the bulk and scale of buildings on adjoining and nearby land;
      b)       define, rather than dominate, the street and public spaces, particularly Gympie
               Terrace, Noosa River and its foreshores;
      c)       create pedestrian scale and visual interest;
      d)       provide variation in building alignments by staggering or separating continuous walls
               into smaller sections to vary the elevation;
      e)       vary and break up the roof form;
      f)       incorporate well articulated building forms with strong vertical design features
               elements which interrupt the plane including windows, pergolas, sun shading devices
               and variations in balcony styles; and
      g)       present subtle changes in colours, textures and materials to break up the building
               facades;

                                                                                       Page 13 of 70
