Town Planning Reporrt

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




With respect to streetscape and character, the proposed development will not alter the current
configuration of buildings, carparking and access to and egress from the land. The current pedestrian,
parking and traffic movements will be maintained, which ensure the safety users.

The proposed new building work provides for vertical and horizontal articulation, changes in textures
and materials and contributes positively to the streetscape. An existing tree is to be kept as part of
the development on the eastern side of the building. Some landscaping is to be provided around the
perimeter of the building and is integrated with the proposed development (refer Figure 2 -
Attachment 2). Further, the proposed development is of a scale that is in keeping with the character
of the area.

Community Uses Code

The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Community Uses Code. The proposed development is
entirely consistent with the overall outcomes provided below:

    a) Existing and future populations have access to an adequate level of community facilities and
       services;
    b) Convenient, comfortable and safe Community Uses are provided for;
    c) Community Uses are conveniently located for residents and contribute to community focal
       points, without placing unacceptable burdens on local amenity or infrastructure;
    d) Community Uses recognise and protect Noosa’s existing built character and natural
       environmental values;
    e) Community Uses offer safe environments for users and operators;
    f) Community Uses located in an urban zone are provided with appropriate connection to
       reticulated sewerage, water supply, stormwater drainage, electricity, and telecommunications
       services; and
    g) Community Uses are energy and water efficient.

The proposed development is also consistent with relevant specific outcomes of the code. In
particular, the proposed development will not be any closer to the existing substation on the adjoining
land in accordance with specific outcome O2 (refer Figure 1).

The proposed development will not have an adverse impact upon the safety and efficiency of the road
network in accordance with specific outcomes O3 & O4.

The proposed development will not have a significant adverse impact on the amenity enjoyed by users
of adjoining or nearby premises in accordance with O5.

A number of bicycle spaces are already provided with the College use that would satisfy the
requirement of 1 bicycle space per 30m² or part thereof of gross floor area under Figure 14-2 in
accordance with specific outcome O19.

The proposed development is entirely consistent with the Community Uses Code.
