PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                       7 May 2024


           the centre’s function and capacity to provide a public focus for local community
           interaction and activity.
PO3
Development contributes to the establishment of attractive streetscapes and gateways to enhance
the sense of arrival and the coastal village character of the separate urban communities within the
local plan area.
AO3.1
Development adjacent to a gateway or special place or on land identified as a key corner
including where identified in Figure 7.2.6.5 (Peregian Beach Framework and Character Plan):
         1. incorporates architectural and landscape treatments which emphasise the corner
            location as shown in Figure AP3-10A and Figure AP3-10B; and
         2. incorporates building materials such as varied roof forms, changes in materials and
            variations in projected and recessed elements and facades.
PO7
Buildings, structures and landscaping are consistent with and reflect the beachside character of
the local plan area in terms of form, composition and use of materials.
AO7.5
Buildings are designed to:
        1. suit the local subtropical climate;
        2. incorporate a mix of lightweight and textured external building materials, including
            timber finishes with variation provided in texture, detailing and articulation;
        3. incorporate verandahs, open balconies with transparent or open balustrades or
            shaded patios for outdoor living; and
        4. allow for landscape integrated with the buildings on site.
While the redesigned building incorporates some timber cladding and timber screening at the foyer
entrance, the timber cladding to the awnings has been removed, some window sizes reduced, and
a more extensive use of rendered blockwork is proposed.
The development also proposes a parapet to the roof which results in a significant change to the
building appearance, detracting from the “informal village-like atmosphere” outcome sought for
developments in the Local Plan area.
The proposed changes to the building material presents a much more formal, urban feel rather
than the informal, relaxed beachside character sought for Peregian Beach.
