    Matters Raised                                        Comments
    No objection to the proposal.                         The 2 buildings on site are older and not
                                                          particularly aesthetically pleasing. However, the
    Request that the site be maintained, as the
                                                          proposal is for a new satellite dish with no
    block is often unkempt.
                                                          changes proposed to the existing buildings.
    The existing structures on site should be             Therefore, it does not seem reasonable to require
    refurbished to improve aesthetics.                    an upgrade to the existing buildings.
    The whole site should be landscaped.                  Extensive landscaping is recommended for the
                                                          entire site, which will screen all structures from
                                                          the street and adjoining property, which will
                                                          greatly improve site aesthetics.

   5.    CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
   Although the proposal is not consistent within the Low Density Residential zone, the proposal
   is minor in nature and is co-located within a site that is a recognised telecommunication
   facility. It is recommended the site be extensively landscaped, which will improve the site’s
   amenity considerably.
   The proposal is recommended for approval, including reasonable and relevant conditions to
   ensure compliance with the amenity and character provisions in the Noosa Plan 2020.
