Town planning report

       waterfront setting by replacing old and tired buildings and pavement with a new,
       integrated development. It would be of a high-quality architectural design that
       sensitively responds to the surrounding diversity of architectural styles, scale and
       character, and correlate with the intent for the development of Noosaville. It would
       be constructed with a combination of sandstone cladding, vertical and horizontal
       fibre cement cladding, and landscaped “grow” walls, and be highly articulated and
       modulated to reduce the overall visual bulk. Furthermore, the pitched roof lines and
       deep overhangs would provide additional articulation and be compatible with the
       subtropical environment. Despite the proposal having less than 50% transparent
       glazing on the front wall, the main entrance facing the street and outdoor seating
       area would present a high-quality streetscape.

       The proposal complies with the main built form elements of the code as follows—
       Element                   Requirement                Proposed
       Section 11.9 Built form
       Building height           Max. 10m                   7.4m for the service station canopy
                                                            and 6.83m for the buildings
       Setbacks
          Front                  Min. 6m                    10.5m (Mary St) and 13m (Weyba Rd)
          Side                   0m                         5m
          Rear                   Min. 3m from residential   3m, plus additional 3.2m by virtue
                                 development                existing stormwater easement
       Roof pitch                Min. 5º                    8º-10º
       Section 11.35 Mary Street/Thomas Street Precinct
       GFA                       Max. 300m2                 270m2
       Site cover                Max 50%                    39%
       Landscaping               Throughout site            Throughout site—all boundaries and
                                                            frontages

       As noted in the acoustic report, air quality assessment report, and light spill report,
       suitable setbacks combined with acoustic barriers and landscaping would be
       provided to better manage potential off-site impacts. As noted in the traffic impact
       assessment, most of the generated traffic has already been counted and accounted
       for in the background traffic volumes on the roundabout, therefore there would not
       be a material net increase in existing traffic volumes or impacts on the adjacent
       roundabout. These measures would help manage potential off-site impacts on the
       amenity of surrounding properties.

       The proposal complies with the code and supports the intent of the zone and
       locality by providing a new, modern service station that integrates with existing
       neighbourhood character.
