GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                   13 JANUARY 2020


      Buildings and other structures present a high quality streetscape with building elements
      and forms that—
      a) are consistent with the bulk and scale of buildings on adjoining and nearby land;
      b) define, rather than dominate, the street and public spaces, particularly Gympie Terrace,
         Noosa River and its foreshores;
      c) create pedestrian scale and visual interest;
      d) provide variation in building alignments by staggering or separating continuous walls
         into smaller sections to vary the elevation;
      e) vary and break up the roof form;
      f)   incorporate well articulated building forms with strong vertical design features elements
           which interrupt the plane including windows, pergolas, sun shading devices and
           variations in balcony styles; and
      g) present subtle changes in colours, textures and materials to break up the building
         facades;
      h) integrate signage with the building design; and
      i)   integrate landscaping into the building design and car parking areas.

Site Cover
The Noosaville Locality Code Specific Outcome O11, states Site cover for the Visitor Mixed
Use Zone does not exceed 40%. The proposal would result in an increase in site cover from
approximately 45.4% to a total of approximately 50%, with the formalisation of the enclosed area
referred to as Lot 1a increasing site cover by approximately 5.6%. The proposed total site cover
exceeds the allowable site cover under the provisions of The Noosa Plan. However, it is noted


                                                                                      Page 38 of 172
