Letter to Noosa Council - Change Application · MCU17/0073.01

          “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”



        Comparing the Ground Floor Plan as approved and proposed, the following changes have
        been identified:
           • Place of Worship - 433m² to 437m²;
           • New offices and amenities ground floor - 215m² to 214m²;
           • Hall enclosed area ground floor - 338m² to 337m²;
           • New meeting room lower enclosed area - 169m² to 204m²; and
           • Storeroom lower enclosed area - 77m² to 77m².

        The overall change in floor area is about 37m², which is associated with the size of the meeting
        room at the lower ground level. This meeting room is primarily used by churchgoers, which
        mainly occurs out of school hours and on weekends. Consequently, it is not expected that this
        minor increase in floor space would have any car parking implications for the site.

        The other changes made include the relocation of the plant area from beside the church to
        the western side of the access way adjoining the substation site to the south-west. This change
        will result in an overall increase in the amount of landscaping fronting the church by
        approximately 80m²; however, there will be a reduction of approximately 23m² at the new
        location. There is an overall net gain in landscaping provided beside the church of 57m².

        Some of this landscaping is provided near the access road fronting the church, which helps to
        soften the built form when viewed from Eumundi Noosa Road (refer to the Site and Location
        Plan – Figure 1).
