response to information request

Provide additional detail on the proposed “permeable pavers and Zoyzia grass”
provide certification from a suitably qualified person that states that the proposal
is suitable for the intended use.

The revised plans provide for ‘no mo’ grass cut out sections to part of the driveway to
provide interest to the frontage of the site, while dealing with the change in grades between
the street and the shop level. A disabled access way is located adjacent to the building at
an appropriate grade with no concrete cut out sections, allowing for appropriate access in
accordance with the BCA requirements. Further detail is provided as part of the landscape
concept plan.

9         Provide a colour and material palette with regard to the proposed building
          and structures and fencing and planters. Renders of the actual proposal are
          also encouraged.

Further renders have been drawn to indicate how the development will integrate with the
Noosa Dr frontage. The renders and drawings have been designed in accordance with the
architectural review by Noel Robinson (Council’s architect) and provide for a defining
Noosa Style building at the entrance to Noosa’s Hastings St precinct.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10        Provide amended plans that reduce the height, length and bulk of the wall
          and provide some articulation and that comply with AO7.3, A07.4 and A.7.5
          b) & c) of the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code.
11        It is suggested that treatments of the wall be investigated that result in a wall
          that looks lightweight and is domestic in scale, using materials such as fibre
          cement cladding and battens. Please include this in the material and colour
          palette.
12        Provide amended plans that have considered the stair orientation as outlined
          above.

Discussions between Council’s architect and the applicant’s architect have resulted in
changes to the southern elevation materials to incorporate ‘painted FC Sheeting over
MGO boards to achieve fire rating. The elevation is included below in reference to the
finish of the adjoining building providing articulation and a lightweight appearance when
viewed from the south.




Considering the design retails 4 large canopy trees on the narrow site – the elevation will
also be partially screened by existing vegetation and is of an appropriate scale consistent
with the landscaped Noosa Local Plan character.

An ‘L shaped’ stair is also provided at the rear of the site beside the carparking bay,
resulting in a slightly shorter building located further away from the tree, in accordance
with the Council’s architect recommendations.
