2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 7 - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 8-10 Schedule Appendix - Clean version

            (i)     Views to Mt Coolum & Emu Mountain, while not obtained from within the town centre, may be impacted by changes in
                    the town centre area. For example the key development site to the south of the centre should not impact the retention
                    of these views in the longer term.
            (ii)    Views to Mt Cooroy and the distant ranges can be viewed from various different locations along the north south
                    corridor, the most prominent being within the Rufous Street Master Plan area (outside town centre) and from the
                    roads adjacent to the supermarket development where the land drops away dramatically. The future key development
                    site to the west may impact the retention of these views in the longer term, the recommendation is to retain as many
                    of these views as possible as a core character experience.
            (iii)   Views to the ocean/ coastal environment from the main street ­ Retain this view corridor, ensuing park and street
                    infrastructure placement does not compromise this view (part of the historic ‘wetlands to sea link’.

      (b)   Localised­ typically views within the centre to key character elements, such as significant landmark or character buildings or
            key landscape forms. Localised views include:
            (i)     Along David Low Way at northern Gateway (with community building on corner);
            (ii)    Between buildings/ along driveways to open space ­ the spaces in between buildings are important to local
                    character;
            (iii)   Along David Low Way northern approach, bend in road reinforces importance of corner site and intersection
                    treatment;
            (iv)    Along David Low Way southern approach, reinforces importance of corner site and intersection treatment; and
            (v)     Along key path from beach/ parkland, to key development site/ potential landmark corner site (the centre).

      (c)   Appendix 1 SC6.8 includes photos of key contextual and localised views for Peregian Beach.

(4)   Open Space and Landscape Treatments ­ The landscape character of Peregian Beach is generally of a high quality and plays an
      important role and linking the open spaces (east­west). Peregian Beach has some of the highest quality examples of allowing
      mature landscape to thrive and connect between the built form; a defining characteristic of the ‘Noosa Style’. Key landscape
      treatments include:
      (a)   Heron Street which includes views to the ocean framed by locally iconic trees (Coconut Palms and Norfolk Island Palms)
            and the dunes/ coastal landscape; and
      (b)   The Village Green and the connecting retail lanes, which are a uniquely Peregian Beach open space/ landscape character
            experience. The planting creates an almost complete canopy coverage and the experience of ‘dappled light’ to the majority
            of open space and outdoor dining within the area.

(5)   Landmark/Character Buildings – The built form along Heron Street makes a significant contribution to the low key, coastal
      streetscape character of the Peregian Beach town centre. The northern side with its high set buildings and iconic roof form/ upper
      level awning are major factors in its influence contrasting with the village green shops to the south, with its unique low scale built
      form that create comfortable human scaled spaces with fine grained shop fronts surrounding the park. There is potential for
      additional landmark/ character built form to contribute to the northern and southern gateways; the development of the Digital Hub
      in the north and the potential for future redevelopment of the hardware site in the south.
(6)   Key Corners ­ These sites make (or have the potential to make) a significant contribution to the built form character and
      experience of Peregian Beach. Built form should positively address the corners; be active and inviting (be ‘friendly’). Roof forms,
      windows and door openings should reflect this character outcome and orientation.
(7)   Primary Active Frontages ­ The mapped ‘primary active frontages’ reflect where this type of built form interface currently exists or
      is proposed; appropriate, desired and achievable. These built form interfaces must adhere to the planning scheme requirements,
      particularly the local centre zone. It is assumed that all other business zone street interfaces (within the centre) also provide some
      form of active frontage, however they may be secondary in nature with variances such as greater setbacks for landscaping.
(8)   Key Development Sites ­ These sites have been identified as those with a high likelihood for development/redevelopment in the
      next 5 to 10 year timeframe and have the potential to significantly impact on the character of the centre. It is recommended that
      additional guidance on the urban design and built form outcomes of these sites be sought through a preliminary meeting with
      Council Planning Officers. Key development sites in Peregian beach include:
      (a)   Future Visitor Accommodation (2 Storey) – Development should be planned and designed in a way that addresses and
            activates the laneway as well as protecting the key contextual views from the Rufous Street Master Plan area and David Low
            Way to distant mountains.
      (b)   Hardware Site (southern gateway site) – Any redevelopment should contribute to the desired gateway qualities.
      (c)   Redevelopment of 6 Heron Street ­ The site terminates a key ‘localised view’ along the primary access path from beach/
            parkland, to the town centre. Preferably:
            (i)     the built form will make the most of its aspect, potentially providing an opening to the corner;
