As part of the development, a formalised pedestrian link is proposed (to the west of the buildings)
between the site‘s street frontage and the beach to the rear of the site.

The proposed dwelling units will incorporate cutting-edge internal design elements, features/appliances,
and includes sustainable building design and technologies. This development will provide a diversified
visitor accommodation to Hastings Street and result in an exciting multi-use development befitting of its
prime beachside location. The architectural design indicates a quality of building that will maximise use
and appreciation of the site‘s natural attributes, whilst still maintaining a tastefulness and consistency in
respect of the existing built environment of Hastings Street. The proposed building will enhance the
amenity of the surrounding area, both in the building‘s appearance and the provision of a range of retail
and dining opportunities for tourists and local residents alike.



3.2 Supporting Documentation
In order to provide a detailed and comprehensive development application, the applicant has assembled a
design team of professionals – each with a specific role in documentation/reporting for the proposal. In
this regard (and aside from the Architectural Plans included as Attachment A), the supporting
documentation for the proposal is explained below.


Architectural Design Statement

An architectural design statement describing the design outcome and sustainable building approach is

the purposes of establishing natural ground surface as defined by the Noosa Plan and has been used for
building design and height assessment.
