                 Car parking is located to the rear of or under a building and screened from the street, or
                 otherwise without a presentation to the primary frontage and with good connectivity for
                 pedestrians to other destinations within the precinct.
                 Under the Noosaville Local Plan Code, overall outcome (e), states:
                 Development design and siting responds to the relatively flat topography of Noosaville by
                 creating visual interest and differentiation in built form through design and the application of:
                 a)     a range of textures, colours, styles and finishes;
                 b)     a range of architectural elements within the context of a sub-tropical architectural theme;
                 c)     varied roof heights, that cumulatively make a positive contribution to an interesting
                        skyline;
                 d)     varied setbacks which create opportunities for both landscaping and design variety; and
                 e)     retention of mature trees and the provision of new landscaping which create attractive
                        spaces between buildings.
                 While the Landscape Concept Design report provides a response to the Landscape Code at
                 part 5.1, there are no comments provided explaining how the development as a whole meets
                 the overall landscaping objectives for the NBC, including being consistent with a Noosa Style.
                 Landscaping is to be integrated with the built form and provide for significant areas of deep
                 planting.
                 The report claims the proposal complies with all the applicable provisions; however, it is
                 unclear if compliance is with the acceptable outcomes (AO) and/or the performance outcomes
                 (PO). Further, how the landscaping will be integrated with built form and the expected with the
                 village green and open space is not adequately explained.
                 Further Information:
                 36.    Provide a summary of landscape areas and number of canopy trees to demonstrate
                        compliance with AO11.1 and AO11.2 or otherwise how the development meets the
                        performance outcome 11.
                 37.    Provide landscape elevations of the Main Street (including under croft frontage), Civic
                        Spine and eastern car park to demonstrate compliance with performance outcomes
                        PO2, PO3, PO5, PO6, and PO11. Landscaping should be depicted at 5 years growth.


                 Issue – Flooding, stormwater quality, water efficiency and reuse
                 Issue – Flooding
                 The natural drainage channel within Covenant J on Lot 1 provides conveyance for most of the
                 “Noosa Civic” site. Peak flood levels within this channel need to be established in order to
                 demonstrate that the development will achieve adequate freeboard and flood impacts will not
                 result from the works.
                 Information Required
                 38.    Provide calculations/modelling for flow within the natural drainage channel within
                        Covenant J on Lot 1 in order to establish the peak flood levels in the DFE (1%AEP
                        including allowance for climate change at 2100). Provide sections which show the DFE
                        level relative to the minimum opening elevations in the basement car park and
                        demonstrate that a minimum freeboard of 300mm is provided.
                 Issue – Stormwater Quantity
                 The analysis of stormwater quantity impacts is required to include allowance for climate
                 change, and it is not clear whether this has occurred. Detention to mitigate the 63%AEP in
