Town Planning Report - Boutique Hotel Development Noosa Springs - June 2021

“Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




         The built form (discussed below) is comprised of five buildings compartmentalised and connected
         that step up the slope. The height of the proposed buildings is three storeys; however, the
         buildings are integrated within the site and the existing tree line. While the buildings are three
         storeys in height, they present as two storeys to the road frontage when viewed from Resort Drive.
         The height and arrangement of the buildings on the site is necessary because of the site
         constraints, and because there is a need to provide efficient and cost effective servicing of rooms,
         as an integrated development given the nature of the use. Further advice about the need for
         integration of the proposed “Boutique Hotel” is provided in the Development Report by GH
         Australia provided as Attachment 2.

         The site incorporates what is expected to be a remarkable resort lagoon style pool, this being the
         centre attraction of the “Boutique Hotel”. The buildings have been strategically placed and
         arranged around this central pool and landscaped attraction. To the north of the lagoon pool area
         are three new tennis courts to replace the existing four tennis courts on the site.

         It is noted the applicant made a submission to the Draft Noosa Plan 2020. The purpose of the
         submission was to provide the planning merit of including the subject land within the Tourist
         Accommodation Zone. As a result of the submission part of the subject land was included within
         the Tourist Accommodation Zone as shown in Figure 5, below. The applicability of the zoning
         under the Noosa Plan 2020 and how it relates to the proposed development is discussed further
         below.
