                      1. INTRODUCTION

               Executive Summary

          ]    Strand Gardens Pty Lid ACN 010 334 031 as Trustee (Strand Gardens) insistence on excellence in
               design is paramount not only in its house but also in the design of the jetty. Strand Gardens
               rightfully believes that few properties on the river front in Noosa have, by way of relativity,
               exhausted the continium between house and waterway structure. Paying lip service to design is
               not Strand Gardens demeanour.

         2     Particular effort in the design of the house has resulted in an elegant and finely tuned stylistic
O              approach to the river, Symmetry resolves the facade where vertical and horizontal elements are
               connected by an emphatic and elongated portico. Similarly, the jetty design strives for elegance, :
               buoyancy and symmetry. To remove the walkway/gangway, and its symmetrical stairs which.ead: ‘* , é

         3     The wide variance in style of structures on the river front of the Noosa River suggest an
               incoherence of applied building code. The jetty and the relationship with the house are quite
               unique and will add to the river's diversity. To disregard the jetty’s design on style is tantamount to
               naivety. To disregard it on function is a denial of Strand Gardens utilitarian needs. Quite
               significantly there will not be any adverse impact of visual amenity. to consider otherwise will be a
               clutching at straws. The regatta steps give access to the river, otherwise not possible due to the - ‘
               fragmented rock embankment. As an integral part of the jetty, the steps also apply symmetry and     *

         4     The proposed development is described in this report and analysed with respect to function and
               its relationship to both the house and the river. This report examines the Development Permit for
               the jetty with respect to the following planning instruments:

               ®   The Detached Housing Zone nor the Infrastructure Services Code;
               *   Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 4.

          5    The EPA and QT are accepting of the jetty design, attached please find a copy of the approval. It
               is hoped that the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, particularly after perusing the contents of this
               Report, will be of like mind.
