on the site. The proposed development intends to utilise colours and tones that are compatible with the
natural coastal environment and allows the buildings to settle into the landscape rather than dominate
with bright, white colours and tones. The improvement in streetscape from the existing to proposed is
clearly apparent in Figures 6 & 7 below:

The overall outcomes of the Tewantin Local Plan Code seek to provide diversity of housing that can
accommodate permanent residents which take a form that is generally low key, low rise and maintain
the character of Tewantin. Specifically, Overall Outcomes (a), (b), (d), (n) and (q) are most relevant to
the proposal as follows:

        a) Tewantin is a vibrant yet traditional town strongly influenced by its heritage and its
            riverside setting. Framed by national park and waterways, its character and identity
            reflect its location and heritage as a gateway to the Noosa River, the hinterland,
            Noosa North Shore and the Great Sandy Region.

        b) Development within the Tewantin local plan area is limited to land within the urban
            boundary, so as to provide a defined edge to the town to protect and reinforce the
            character and identity of Tewantin, provide efficient provision of infrastructure and
            services, avoid constrained land and protect the surrounding ecologically important
            areas.
