                                                                                                              softens the built form.
                                                                                                              The site landscaping is extensive, being a clear element of the design and
                                                                                                              ultimately supporting the civic intent in a manner that is reflective of the
                                                                                                              Noosa character and community expectations. This is demonstrated through
                                                                                                              the main street character, the internal civic space and civic plaza.
                                                                                                              For further technical details, please refer to Appendix B – Landscape Concept
                                                                                                              Design.

 d) Land adjoining Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive maintains a natural vegetation buffer to Compliant
    effectively screen urban development within the zone except at the key entry points.          The proposed development does not impact on the quality and/or extent of
                                                                                                  the natural vegetation buffer on land adjoining Eenie Creek Road or Walter
                                                                                                  Hay Drive.

 e)   Development at key entry points provides a distinctive and appropriate sense of arrival through Compliant
      architectural design features, artwork or landscaping, providing external identification of the centre, The development is categorised by key entry points for both vehicles and
      and internal wayfinding.                                                                                pedestrians that are supported by architectural articulation, wayfinding
                                                                                                              features and landscaping that facilitates a sense of arrival. These features are
                                                                                                              distinctive in nature as to enhance legibility and permeability through the site.
                                                                                                              Consideration has been given to precincts contemplated in the Noosa Plan
                                                                                                              2020, particularly with the entrance to the site off Walter Hay Drive at both
                                                                                                              northern and southern roundabouts, and the uses along the western side of
                                                                                                              Main Street. Notwithstanding, the features do not overwhelm the
                                                                                                              development, but align with the Noosa Style.

 f)   Buildings are distinctive in design and interspersed with attractive and low key informal spaces that Compliant
      retain existing mature vegetation.                                                                    The design of buildings have worked with the existing natural features of the
                                                                                                            site, preserving the environmental corridor. In responding to the natural
                                                                                                            environment, the built design incorporates a civic spine that connects to the
                                                                                                            environmental zone and provides connections to the surrounding land uses.

 g)   Other than at key entry points, the presentation of development is internal to the zone and does Compliant
      not seek to be distinguishable from Eenie Creek Road or Walter Hay Drive.                        The design is orientated in a manner that focusses on the internal nature of
                                                                                                       the development and ensures open space covenants to Eenie Creek Road and
