4. CONCLUSION

The development proposal is considered to represent a necessary and high quality refurbishment of the
subject site, incorporating varying design elements in sympathy with the low-key foreshore character of the
site, whilst ensuring the safety and structural integrity of the development for the future.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds including:

The proposal is consistent with uses on adjoining river front sites;
The proposal is of a scale and form that positively contributes to the Noosa River foreshore area;
The proposal is entirely contained within the existing lease boundaries;

The proposal does not seek to increase the site cover greater than that of the existing
development on-site;

The proposal will improve the visual impact of the mooring facilities on the Gympie Terrace
streetscape and parklands;

The proposal will remove all existing redundant piers currently located within the lease area;

The proposal will improve the environmental qualities of the leased area as it seeks to remove all
CCA treated timber support piles, and reduce the overall number of support piles from 29 to 11;

The proposal improves the public safety aspects of the existing development; and

The Department of Natural Resources & Water and Environmental Protection Agency have
already indicated their support for the proposal.

The Assessment Manager's favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended.

Please contact our office if you require any further information and/or clarification with respect to the above

application.
