5.0 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION

5.1 ARCHITECTURAL


Proposal plans prepared by Elevation Architecture are attached. The plans include site analysis
plans, site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections and perspective images. The plans demonstrate
that the proposal results in an attractive built form and facade that complements and integrates
with the character of the locality.


5.2 ECONOMICS


A preliminary Economic Impact Assessment prepared by Sister City Partners is attached. The
economic impact assessment considers the overall context of the aged care sector and trends in
Australian aged care; Noosa’s Economic Development Plan; and the estimated impacts on
economic output and employment during both the construction phase and the subsequent
operational phase of the facility.


5.3 LANDSCAPE


Landscape Concept Plans prepared by Project Urban are attached. These plans demonstrate that
the proposal achieves an attractive and appropriate landscape design that will complement the
character of the locality and appropriately screen and soften the building.


5.4 NEED


A needs assessment prepared by Project Urban is included in section 7.8.1 of this report. This
assessment establishes that there exists strong demand for further aged care facilities in Noosa
Shire. Projections estimate a shortfall of 251 beds by 2026. The proposed 90 bed facility fits well
within this projected demand.


5.5 NOISE


A Noise Report prepared by Road Pro Acoustics is attached. This report concludes that the
proposed development will not result in any nuisance at nearby residences and that the facility
can mitigate any impacts of existing road traffic noise.
