Key observations of the proposed plans against the elements of the Noosa Plan and Draft New Noosa Plan
are are:
   •   The articulated design with the open pods provides for an integrated design of awnings and
       landscaping.
   •   The clear roofing material to areas of the proposal allow for light penetration creating the effects of
       small buildings and laneways.
   •   Landscaping treatment has been increased to Hastings St along with an innovative approach to roof
       top planting to assist in providing additional elements to the architectural design.
   •   The use area is reduced by the inclusion of space previous used for dining to now be area for a bar,
       servery and longer entrance corridor.
