terms of additional class rooms or an increase in student numbers. Consequently, the proposed
marginal increase in the Church congregation area will have a minor increase on traffic generation
and parking demand.

The proposed architecture is consistent with the built form of the existing Church and College
buildings and is generally in keeping with the character of the area. Further, the proposed building
design and use of light weight building materials is complementary to the Noosaville character (refer
perspective and elevation drawings – Attachment 1).

The building is predominately single storey in height, with all new building work being below the 8m
height required from natural ground level. It is noted that the existing building marginally exceeds
the 8m height requirement, this being for a relatively small portion of the pitched roof line and has
no impact upon the streetscape or neighbouring properties.

The proposed building is setback more than 15m from Eumundi Noosa Road and set back about
12.9m from the Child Care Centre to the north west and about 15.9m from the nearest residential
property to the north. While the building is larger in scale, it generally occupies the same location on
the land. The proposed development will have a positive impact upon the existing streetscape at this
location.

The Church has advised that the operating hours, number of people attending services, and other
activities include the following:
      Current congregations - Sunday 8:30 am, being 10-25 persons, Sunday 9:30am, being 80 to
         250 persons, week services, being up to 250, but this is mainly comprised of students;
