PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                          9 MARCH 2021


     Development Assessment to comply with the Noosaville Locality Code.
Applicant’s Request




Assessment of Request
The original Other Change application included images of a proposed mural located along the
northern façade of the building. The mural design was not considered appropriate for the location
of the site, whilst the proposed extension to the existing awning was not considered lightweight or
consistent with the Noosa design principles. The purpose of Condition 24 was to ensure that
alterations to the building resulted in a high quality streetscape consistent with the outcomes
sought for the area. The building has subsequently been renovated, with a mural painted along the
northern elevation (refer to Figure 2) and the existing awning being altered and extended along the
western elevation (refer to Figure 3).




                      Figure 2: Mural painted on northern elevation of 6 Thomas Street

Although the mural is not considered to have ‘subtle changes in colours’, it is considered to
‘incorporate design elements to add visual interest and amenity’, consistent with the Tourist
Accommodation Zone Code requirements under Noosa Plan 2020, and improves the laneway
entry to the site for both vehicles and pedestrians. As such, the mural is considered acceptable.
