Attachment 2- Architectural Statement of Intent

The cinema complex is also located as close as practical to the existing Covenant J open space
zone where the 35m tree canopy provides appropriate screening and scale.


Arts and Innovation Precinct

Tenancy space has been provided for these uses on the south-western side of the development
and integrated with the north-south pedestrian elevated spine that interfaces with the Open Space
area in Covenant J. These tenancies step down the site from the Village Green and out to Hofmann
Drive and have a direct level connection to the basement on the south. These uses are provided in
single level structures located under a series of stepped skillion roofs which sleeve the adjacent
larger ground level recreation tenancy.

The stepped falls of the skillion roofs complement the fall of the adjacent elevated walkway and the
stepped skillion roof forms of the adjacent ground level large tenancies, with the vegetation
incorporated in the proposed bio-retention basin at the southern end, they represent an
appropriately scaled Noosa Style pedestrian entrance to the development.

Residential Precinct

Multiple dwelling and short-term accommodation units are generally located on the upper two levels
of the development including overlooking Main St, the Village Green and the landscaped northern
carpark, while another seven units are located at ground level on the southern end of Main St.

Specifically short-term accommodation is primarily integrated with an overview of either the Village
Green or the northern carpark, while long term accommodation is integrated with Main St. In all
instances there is a strong visual and physical connection with adjacent landscaped spaces and
primary pedestrian connections.

The location of the six entry lobbies servicing the residential units has purposely taken into
consideration maximizing pedestrian activation around the site and to use those locations to further
articulate and activate those particular streetscapes.

The four recessed landscaped entries fronting Main St are designed to facilitate greater articulation
in plan form and significantly reduce the apparent length of these buildings when viewed from Main
Street and the Village Green and in doing so respond to the intent of smaller Noosa Style pavilion
type structures.

The remaining two pavilion buildings fronting the Village Green have their lift lobbies located
directly fronting the more intimate laneways connecting the Village Green and the northern carpark
promoting greater pedestrian activation in those laneways during both day and evening.

Business Precinct

Office and other associated uses are primarily provided in the northern area of the site. Two
balcony accessed buildings, connected by a common courtyard, lift and access stairs, are located
facing north to the proposed future transit centre on Lot 24.

The shared access courtyard solution not only provides two smaller pavilion style office buildings
along what is a significant 60m frontage, but it also provides the flexibility of providing two clearly
