        Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Visitor Mixed Use Zone

        Entertainment and dining business uses
        O53 Entertainment and dining business uses are designed to avoid:-
                a) creating excessive traffic or amenity impacts on Hastings Street; or
                b) interrupting the pedestrian flow along footpaths.

        Pedestrian connectivity and scenic amenity
        O54 Vistas from Hastings Street to the beach are protected and enhanced.

        Streetscape & character
        O58 Development—
                a) respects and complements the existing neighbourhood character;
                b) addresses the street and contributes positively to the streetscape;
                c) incorporates attractive and contemporary designs;
                f) incorporates outdoor dining or landscaped areas;
                g) includes covered pedestrian entrances to premises;

The proposed design outcome results in a safe an inclusive experience for both pedestrians and diners. The
proposed outdoor dining area and coffee cart are fitting for the site’s coastal location and retains unique character
of Hastings Street. The design results in an activated streetscape, creating a lively character and promoting
incidental social interaction between diners and pedestrians.

The design treatment visually unifies Café Le Monde with a number of existing cafes’/restaurants along Hastings
Street and Noosa Drive to create a consistent and recognisable aesthetic.

The outdooring dining area is sheltered by the elements through the incorporation of a shade structure. The
structure has been certified previously (Appendix D).

outdoor dining area of the footpath.
