Land uses
O177 The Good Shepherd Lutheran School, Noosaville State Primary School and land
adjacent is developed for secondary education.

The proposed alterations and additions to the Church are associated with the existing Good Shepherd
Lutheran College and is entirely complementary to that use.

Visual amenity
O178 Where land in the Community Services Zone is adjacent to the major road network or land in a
residential zone appropriate buffer areas are incorporated into the development.

The matter of visual amenity impact upon the major road network has been addressed above. The
proposed alterations and additions to the existing Church remain separated from the adjoining
residential uses to the north. The building setback is marginally reduced, but this is not likely to have
an adverse impact upon the adjoining residential properties or the existing child care centre, located
on the land.

Co-location of community uses
O179 Buildings and other structures are designed and sited to maximise opportunities for the colocation
of community facilities and services.

The proposed alterations and additions to the Church is a good example of maximising co-location
opportunities for community facilities and services on land included within the Community Services
Zone.

Streetscape & character

movements to ensure the safety of users.
AND

    c) retention of mature vegetation;
AND
O185 Landscaping is integrated amongst buildings and within car parking areas;
AND
O186 Where land adjoins the major road network or land within a residential zone:
    a) development is appropriately buffered by vegetation or other screening;
    b) development is of a scale consistent with buildings in the adjoining residential zone; and
    c) buildings and other structures contribute to the streetscape and skyline;
AND
O187 Any premises adjacent to land in a
residential zone has—
    a) a building scale that does not dominate the residential premises or the residential character of
        the streetscape; and
