I refer to the above application and in particular to the request for additional information issued by your th Council and dated 17 May 2017. This request listed two items that Council considers is necessary in order to complete its assessment of the above application. The applicant has decided to respond to these items as below: Item 1: Provide plans that show more detail of the building facades, in particular but not limited to: a. Elevations that show the completed renovations in context of surrounding shop frontages; b. Depict materials, colours and finishes to be used. Applicant’s Response to Item 1: Please find attached correspondence from the project architect Peter Thompsett of Thompsett Architecture which provides further information regarding the design intent of the proposed works as well as the changes and materials to be used. The removal of the existing heavy outdated curved awning and upper level screens will be a significant improvement to the street front whilst the new central stairs, landscaping and ‘straightening’ of the façade by provision of new office area will match the existing building lines in the street and open and activate what is currently a dark and unappealing access. The proposed works are at a scale that is consistent with the surrounding buildings and create a façade that is more in line with the adjoining buildings.

It is noted that the existing heavy structural supports, landscape garden and diagonal facade is totally
inconsistent with the surrounding streetscape which provides for shop fronts to the front boundary and no
landscaping.
Item 2: Provide information as to what landscaping changes will occur as a result of the renovations
and where necessary superimpose on the plans as requested in Item 1 of this request.
Applicant’s Response to Item 2: Please find attached correspondence from the project architect Peter
Thompsett of Thompsett Architecture which outlines the new landscaped measures proposed. As
2
detailed the existing landscape area comprises 27m of soft landscaping. As part of the proposal
landscaping is to be provided as follows:
• Entry Planter
2
Horizontal planting bed measuring 7x2 =14 m .
• Entry Green Wall
Green wall located above the entry planter. The overall length is 7 metres with the height
varying from 2.70 at Level 1, to 4.50 at street level. Refer F02.
• Vehicular Green Wall
2
Length 6.0 metres. Height 3.5 metres = 21m . We are able to get decent light to this wall by
raising the pedestrian canopy and constructing it out of translucent materials.
• Proposed Tree.
There is pavement space in this area for another tree. We propose a shade tree and public bench,
in keeping with the Junction streetscape.
The proposed works will create a more attractive, interesting and active street front than the existing space
and building and should be approved.
The applicant considers that they have now responded to Council’s information request. The Decision
Making Period has therefore commenced and we request that your Council proceeds with its assessment of
the application as soon as possible in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
Please contact our Sunshine Coast office if you require any further information and/or clarification.
Yours faithfully,
