6.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposed built form utilises a combination of lightweight materials and a skillion style roof
form that maintains the mixed urban character of what is typical in Noosaville, which is especially
important on Noosa River. The proposal represents a contemporary adaptation of surrounding
residential building character, which is appropriate to the location and improves the current
amenity and appearance of the site. New native established vegetation planting is proposed that
is fast growing and suitable for the Noosa River foreshore which will assist to soften the built
form.
The site plays a key role in protecting the ecological value of the Noosa River and ensures
sustainable and safe use of waterways and fishery resources. Despite the use being inconsistent
with the Open Space Recreation zone, the proposal upgrades facilities that are dependent on
direct access to the Noosa River in order to maintain public safety. Further, although the shed
has increased in size, the proposed works do not intensify the existing operation, within the
coastal management district and riparian buffer area.
The proposal is therefore recommended for approval, including reasonable and relevant
conditions.
