MCU22/0154.01 – Application For A Minor Change To A Development Approval For Food And Drink Outlet, Shops And Offices At 214 David Low Way, Peregian Beach · Attachment 2 - (MCU22 0154.01) - Planning Officer'S Report

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                           7 May 2024




                Figure 9 Comparison of Approved Southern Elevation & Proposed Changes

The development also proposes changes to the western building façade to the David Low Way
service road, which does not provide sufficient activation or provide the fine scale built form, sought
in Acceptable Outcome AO10(b) of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code.
The minimal variation in materials and removal of the louvres, provides little sun protection to the
upper level western windows and does not suit the local subtropical climate design requirement of
Acceptable Outcome AO7.5(a) of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code.




                Figure 10 Comparison of Approved Western Elevation & Proposed Changes

These design issues were raised with the applicant during assessment, and minor alterations were
made to the plans including lowering the parapet to provide variation to the roofline, introducing
timber cladding to the parapet, however, the extensive use of masonry and minimal variation in the
building material falls short of the requirements of the Local Plan Code.
