                      amenity will be affected by any of the proposed development. All surrounding
                      development has a diversity of “things to look at’, these include:
                             -   The river itself;
                             -   The activity on the water;
                             -   The diversity and scale of the many other buildings within the viewshed;
                              -  The natural vegetation of Noosa Hill and that of the Spit.

          22   The visual amenity that is created by those elements will not be diminished by the proposed
Oo              development in either, a qualitative sense by the creation of something that is unseemly and bulky
                or will clutter the view or in a quantitative sense by the creation of something that will conceal . .

          24    Specific Outcomes 04, 08 and 014 are the only Specific Outcomes that are relevant to this
                application and this report.

                     4.3.1  Specific Outcome 04
          25    Specific Cutcome 04 states:
                "O4 Building Siting and Design
Oo              The siting and design of buildings or other structures reflects and is compatible with the setting and .
                character of the locality in which the Infrastructure Use is located, including the use of
                sympathetic colour schemes.”

          26    No probable solution is provided.                                                                   -

          27    This specific outcome is similar to Specific Outcome O27 (a) for the Detached Housing Zone. For    :
                the reasons given in my response to that outcome | consider that the proposed development will      ‘
                comply with O4 of the Infrastructure Service Code. Furthermore, the proposed colours which are
                shown accurately on the photomontages will be sympathetic to the surroundings and will be
                subdued.
