 VIRIDIAN NOOSA - PROPOSAL REPORT




   2.1.4            Easements and Covenants
                    The subject site is affected by a number of easements and covenants, the
                    particulars of which will be familiar to Council and are therefore not repeated in this
                    Report.



   2.1.5            Current Use of Site
                    The subject site is currently improved by a 198 accommodation unit, 5 star resort
                    development. The Resort includes 10 separate accommodation buildings, a central
                    facilities block, conference facilities, restaurant, health spa, gymnasium, games
                    room, theatrette and swimming pools.
                    The accommodation units consist of the following types:

                    •        144 Resort Units (one and two bedrooms);

                    •        8 Penthouses in Block D (two and three bedrooms);
                    •        6 Penthouses on the upper floors of Blocks G & H (two and three bedrooms);

                    •        1 Penthouse in Block I;

                    •        39 serviced Resort Villas (2 x two and 37 x 3 bedrooms).
                    A manager’s unit is also included within the Resort.
                    The Resort development is a purposely-designed, self-contained resort taking the
                    form of an integrated collection of buildings which are sympathetic to the
                    surrounding environment and the site on which they are constructed. Resort
                    buildings are generally suspended two and three storey structures, incorporating a
                    mixture of lightweight materials, steel superstructure, concrete floors and
                    Colorbond metal and “sandwich” foam roofs with extensive roof overhangs.

                    The management rights for the resort and freehold ownership of the conference
                    facility building (including function space, restaurant, outside dining, reception)
                    have been secured by Outrigger Hotels & Resorts, an international hotel/resort
                    operator.



   2.1.6            Road Frontages, Access and Servicing
                    The subject site has road frontages to Morwong Drive in the north and Viewland
                    Drive in the south of approximately 20 metres each.

                    Both Morwong Drive and Viewland Drive are Council roads, comprising two lanes,
                    with a speed limit of 50km/hr. Both roads include a dedicated pedestrian footpath
                    located adjacent to the road frontage. Viewland Drive is a designated collector
                    road. Morwong Drive is a local access road.

                    Both roads provide a single direct point of access to the subject site by way of a
                    driveway crossover.
