Response

The Architectural Plans respond to the following characteristics of Noosa Style, they are:

    1. The built form has an appreciation of the uniqueness of place and is orientated to allow for a buffer to
       the existing Noosa Civic Shopping Centre and facilitate outlooks for all dwellings. The outlooks are to
       the street, recreational area or to the private open space.
    2. Encompasses the external environment with the creation of a recreational space for private use by all
       residents which is treated with landscaping
    3. The development is scaled to three separate building each with only 30 residences per building.
    4. Layered building forms with different façade finishes, full height shutter screens, deepened
       balconies.
    5. Building materials are fragmented to defined building edges and define each building form.
    6. Building A and B provides for large recesses at main entries to animate the building entries and form.
    7. Light and shadow animated by use of balconies, screens, slats, and awning windows; and
       articulated roof form
    8. Landscaping between buildings and throughout the development

    1.   The development is an overdevelopment of the site, (Refer to response in Item 6)

    2. There is insufficient articulation in the roof forms. (Refer to response in Item 7)
