6.      A written list of planning grounds supporting the proposed uses on the site, which
        are identified as inconsistent by The Noosa Plan (ie Entertainment & Dining &
        Business and Visitor Accommodation Type being without any caravan park sites).

7.      A written description of how proposed buildings A, B & C conform or otherwise
        with The Noosa Plan’s definition of visitor hostel.

8.      A written list of planning grounds supporting the proposed development’s design
        in terms of proposed population density, gross floor area, building height,
        setbacks from David Low Way and landscaping. In this regard, please note that:

        8.1. the population density for visitor hostel is based on the areas of the site
             being used for visitor accommodation and not commercial as currently
             calculated. A breakdown should be provided as to how the proposed
             population has been calculated (ie bed numbers per room etc).

        8.2. the maximum building height for the site is 8 metres, 2 storeys, not 11
             metres as stated in the planning report for the Open Space Recreation
             Zone (ie 11 metres is only for an indoor sporting complex).

        8.3. the building setbacks to David Low Way are to maintain the visual
             continuity and pattern of the street and allow landscaping between the
             buildings. Notably, development along this section of David Low Way
             including the hotel is setback 6 metres from the front boundary.

        8.4. the landscape setbacks to David Low Way (average 2m soft landscaping)
             and landscape areas (10%) around the commercial component are not
             considered to be offset by the rear of the site being not developed.
Artists Sketch
9.      An artist’s sketch of the proposed development from a more southerly
        perspective along David Low Way.
Ecological Assessment
10.     In regards to the Ecological Assessment:

        10.1. A site survey of vegetation types, overlaid with those areas to remain
              undeveloped/buffer areas and proposed to be developed.

        10.2. An assessment of the quality of vegetation of RE 12.2.7 which is not
              proposed to be retained.

        10.3. A site survey identifying any significant species within the area to be
              developed.

        10.4. Confirmation that the vegetated areas proposed to be retained is identified
              (ie pegged) on site.

11.     A site survey of existing trees within the proposed development area identifying
        the tree type and whether it is proposed to be retained/removed.
