     7.    The proposal does not meet the Landscaping Code as the car parking area is
           deficient in landscaping with unsatisfactory provision for shade trees.
     8.    The proposal is significantly deficient in car parking and does not comply with the
           Noosa Plan’s Driveways and Car parking Code.
     9.    The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated that the development will not
           adversely impact on the external traffic network contrary to the Noosaville Locality
           Code and the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code.
     10.   The applicant has not demonstrated that stormwater management can be
           successfully and appropriately integrated into the current development layout
           consistent with the Water Sensitive Design Code and the Transport, Roads and
           Drainage Code.
     11.   The proposal includes clearing of significant vegetation as part of the proposed
           measures for stormwater management contrary to the purpose of current
           environmental covenants registered over the site and the Noosaville Locality Code
           requirements for Precinct OS3.
     12.   The proposal does not comply with the draft Noosa Plan as:
           12.1. the quantum of retail proposed is not envisaged on the site and does not
                 advance or assist in preparing for a transitioning or changing economy;
           12.2. the proposal is not contributing to the identified key priority sectors;
           12.3. carparking is grossly deficient and the applicant has not demonstrated there will
                 not be adverse effects on the surrounding traffic network;
           12.4. the development does not reflect a good subtropical design and is not
                 distinctively recognisable as being Noosa Style; and
           12.5. the stormwater management of the site does not comply with the Water Quality
                 and Drainage Code.
     13.   There is no significant need for the proposed retail and the proposal does little to
           advance the priority sectors envisaged by Noosa’s Local Economic Plan.
B.     Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
