Hi Shane

Thank you for amending the plans after our recent email exchange. The new rooflines will
ensure the church and its pitched roof are still visible and obvious as the heritage items.

However there are details which will be required for the proposed changes and need to be
considered in relation to heritage. For example –retention of church windows, retention of
altar area and its timber decorative arch (is this still in situ?), materials and colours for the
new builds and the recommendation of a heritage interpretation sign at the carport with
information regarding the property is the former St Lukes church of England, constructed in
1926 and deconstructed in 2021.

Just let me know if you wish to discuss any further aspects, however, please note also that
I’ll be away for the month of January 2026.

Thanks again and regards
Gina

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for your email and for sending through the proposed plans. This appears to be an
excellent form of adaptive reuse for the historical church, with all of the new works to take
place at the back of the building/property. However, I do have some questions:
How will the church be used?
Is the aim for Alan Hansen to still use the church as a gallery, accessible to the public?
And why two dwellings?

Page 5

Is this an added income stream or is it an additional workspace or an artist in residence
opportunity?
Knowing the purpose helps answer relevant questions relating to heritage.

I’ve attached here for you the Heritage inventory sheet for the former church, which is
marked up with some amendments. Yes, it is the church façade that is of significance facing
Main Street in Kin Kin, you’ll note on page 4 the other significant features too.
Also attached are the plans – marked up on the southern elevation with design change
recommendations.

While the rear of the church is not as significant, I do query why the new
garage/carport/shed has a pitched roof and gothic arch window. Can these please be
removed as they confuse the history of the property. It is only the church building, its porch,
and any undocumented church related structures that are of significance. The
garage/shed/carport would be a better fit for this property with a skillion roof, similar to the
existing annexe and proposed new dwelling.

Changes proposed for a heritage item need to ensure the heritage is still visible/protected.
Adding a sign at the carport saying the property is the former St Lukes church of England,
constructed in 1926 and deconstructed in 2021 would be excellent, and highly
recommended!
Changes proposed also have to meet the following controls of the Noosa Plan 2020 - Noosa
Plan 2020, Part 8 Overlays, 8.2 Overlay codes, 8.2.7 Heritage Overlay Code - Table
8.2.7.3 - Criteria for assessable development (part)

I look forward to hearing from you - and thank you again for the information and plans.

Kind regards
Gina

Hi Gina,

Patrick passed on your details so we could get in touch regarding a proposed development
involving a dwelling house, secondary dwelling and shed at 3 Grady Street, Kin Kin.
The applicant is proposing to establish a dwelling house use, which includes building work to the
existing church building, which is mapped as local heritage. A copy of the proposal plans is
attached for your reference.

We are seeking advice in relation to the relevant outcomes of the Heritage Overlay Code,
particularly regarding any proposed changes to the façade of the existing building. The proposal
intends to retain the church façade facing 50 Main Street, Kin Kin (Lot 214 SP143420), which
represents the primary public viewpoint and the building’s former point of entry.

Could you please review the plans and advise whether this approach is consistent with the
expectations and requirements for a local heritage place? Additionally, could you please confirm
whether the heritage values attributed to the existing church are primarily associated with its
presentation and historical orientation toward 50 Main Street, despite the property frontage being
from Grady Street?

Any assistance or preliminary feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Matthew Adamson
