Planning Statement

    have the following maximum building height:
           i.     for Noosa Junction three storeys;
          ii.     for the Noosa Business Centre two storeys, except a gateway site or a mixed-
       use building incorporating a residential use which may be three storeys.

    The number of storeys is not altered by the proposed changes to height in metres.

    (b) do not visually dominate the street, surrounding spaces or the existing skyline;

    The area of intrusion is located central to the site and central to the building and will not be readily
    visible to the surrounding area. The building is well setback from the road with good landscaped
    setbacks that will provide additional softening to the building. The adjoining industrial buildings and
    associated yards will not be affected by the increased height.

    (c) preserve the amenity of surrounding premises including privacy, views and access to sunlight.

    The proposed building height does not impact on privacy views or access to sunlight due to the
    location in the centre of the site and building. The adjoining industrial area will not be affected by the
    proposed height.


5. CONCLUSION
The proposed changes to the approval are considered minor and do not impact on the surrounding
area or adjoining properties. This application can be supported on a number of grounds as
previously detailed and include:
               The proposed changes are considered minor as they meet the requirements of the
                Planning Act.
               The proposed changes provide a more efficient internal layout for the building and
                cater for specialist equipment.
               The proposed changes to height do not impact on the amenity of the area and will be
                appropriately screened and complement the form of development in the area.
               The proposed changes are consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan.
