Town Planning Reporrt

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”


The proposed development is appropriately designed and sited to provide for the amenity of users
of the premises, as well as preserving the visual and acoustic amenity of adjoining and nearby
properties. The proposed development provides for adequate separation from the adjoining
residential properties to the north. The proposed development has sufficient space for parking, having
shared parking arrangements with the College.

An existing tree to the west of the proposed development is to be retained (refer Figure 2). Further,
the visual continuity pattern of buildings in the street will be maintained, with some landscaping to
be provided beside the proposed new building work (Figure 2). The elevations and perspectives show
the use of various building materials that help to break up the appearance of the building and reduce
bulk.

Roof form
O20 Rooflines:
   a. contribute positively to the local skyline;
   b. complement the character of the locality;
   c. are articulated, pitched or skillion;
   d. avoid low pitched (eg. less than 5 degrees) or box roof profiles/parapets; and
   e. do not create opportunities for residents to overlook the private open space areas of neighbouring
       properties.

The proposed development makes use of pitched roofing, which contributes positively to the skyline.
Further, the design of the built form complements the existing built form in the locality.

Materials and finishes
O21 Buildings and other structures use materials and finishes that complement the Noosaville character
and integrate with the surrounding natural and built environment.

The proposed development makes use of materials and finishes that complement the Noosaville
character. To that end, the elevations (Attachment 1) provide for various materials including metal
sheet roofing, stone finish to walls, use of vertical timber elements and coloured glass panelling, along
with relatively large sloping roofs having substantial overhangs. The proposed development has an
interesting design, makes use of lightweight and textured building materials and will integrate with
the surrounding built environment.

Under the specific outcomes for the Community Services Zone, the following are most relevant to the
assessment.

in the Community Services Zone.
