PROJECT URBAN – 22070                                                                     October 2022

 Landslide Hazard
                                                      The site is mapped in part as having
                                                      moderate landslide hazard. This overlay
                                                      has been addressed in the attached
                                                      Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared
                                                      by Tectonic Geotechnical.        This report
                                                      undertakes a geotechnical assessment of
                                                      the     site  conditions     and    provides
                                                      geotechnical recommendations regarding
                                                      earthworks and footings, together with
                                                      temporary and permanent basement
                                                      retention.    The report concludes that
                                                      provided the included recommendations are
                                                      adhered to the site will be subject to Low
                                                      Risk from slope instability.




7.5     LOCAL PLAN CODE

The site is included in the Noosa Heads Local Plan Area.

An assessment of the Local Plan Code has been included within Attachment 1. The assessment
has determined that the proposed development complies with all relevant performance
outcomes. Where acceptable outcomes are not met, a performance solution demonstrating
compliance with the corresponding performance outcome is provided below.

7.5.1     PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS

AO7.1 Development takes the form of small separate buildings rather than large single bulky
buildings, stepping down slopes where applicable and not visually dominating the street,
beachfront, riverfront, adjacent properties, surrounding spaces or the existing skyline.

Performance Solution:
The development complies with the acceptable outcome to the extent the built form steps down
the slope and does not visually dominate the street with the villa structures at the street front
taking the form of small separate buildings. It is not possible for the main resort room buildings to
take the form of small separate buildings as this outcome will not enable delivery of an
appropriate world-class resort accommodation experience, as a viable high quality resort
requires consolidation of hotel suites and services in close proximity in order to achieve efficiency
of servicing, maintenance and guest convenience.

The main resort room buildings will not however result in any detrimental impact or visually
dominate the street, adjacent properties, surrounding spaces or the existing skyline as they are
at a lower level and largely screened by the street front Villas and frontage vegetation and are
well articulated with balconies, stepping façades, varied fenestration, balustrades, and planting.
The building facing the rear park reserve is also well screened by existing vegetation to break the
facade appearance.
