The proposal includes minor amendments to the approved floor layout and elevations, while
remaining consistent with the established Mediterranean architectural character of the Oasis and the
broader Noosa Springs estate.
The development generally complies with the applicable built-form provisions of the Noosa Plan
2020 (September 2025), however a minor variation to the 6-metre internal road setback and height
is required.
