Item 3
  There is no further setback of the upper level (not referring to roof top) either, which
  contributes to the flat façade. The setback provisions in Noosa Plan from the front
  boundary are 6m for the first 2 storeys and 10 m for the third. This allows a stepping
  back of the building which further articulates the buildings façade.

Response
The central two units have been setback further to create a staggered building design and
variation within the façade, as can be seen within the accompanying revised Architectural
Plans.

The amended plans detail the setbacks to the balcony and the wall of each unit. Stepping
and articulation of the building is considered to be achieved through the varied setback
of the units and the varied wall setbacks between upper and lower levels.

The design of the balconies themselves have been re-designed to provide a more
lightweight and varied appearance. The balcony design is varied between upper and lower
levels and between Units 1 and 4 and Units 2 and 3. The use of a variety of materials,
textures, and shapes creates an appealing façade design. The inclusion of the planter
boxes further break up the façade and contribute to the sub-tropical design.

Item 4
  As previously advised the garaging does not comply with Noosa Plan – we still have
  garaging on one plane etc. There is capacity and it is suggested to setback the first 2
  northern units which will help with the breakup of the façade at all levels. It will also
  allow additional landscaping in the front setback. There is a large amount of hard stand
  still present in this setback. The entries to 2 units down the side of the building also
  create more handstand than necessary.

Response
The amended design proposes an increase front setback of the two central units by
approximately 700mm. Staggering the units has allowed each double garage to present
individually within the façade.

The amended plans propose garages which do not dominate the streetscape or the
building design and are visually separated by the gatehouse, entryway, visitor parking and
landscaping.
