        detailed articulation fronting Hastings Street as required by AO7.5. We confirm that the proposal
        is now wholly compliant with AO7.5 of the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code.

        Regarding PO11 and AO11 of the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code, please see attached updated
        proposal plans which demonstrate compliance. The proposal at hand contributes to the
        streetscape character and does not conflict with surrounding existing character. We confirm that
        the proposal at hand provides landscaped openings overlooking the street, being appropriate
        treatments sought by the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code. Further, we confirm that the active
        street frontage will be retained.

        Regarding Overall Outcome (h) of the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code, design has specifically
        been updated to provide for a high-quality sup-tropical design and therefore complies with Overall
        Outcome (h).

        We note that the proposal involves similar built form and design to that included as part of the
        approval (MCU21/0164) at 52 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads. Inspiration is taken from this
        example due to the significant improvement to the existing built form’s presentation to Hastings
        Street. The proposal at hand involves similar low rise sub-tropical design with open elements
        contributing to an indoor/outdoor setting and a mixture of textured external material reflective of
        the natural environment.

        Regarding PO14, PO14.8 and PO15 of the Tourist Accommodation Zone Code, the proposal at
        hand provides a pedestrian friendly façade and includes an active frontage to Hastings Street.
        Further, the proposal at hand involves appropriate openings overlooking the street, articulation
        and setbacks which all ensure the proposed built form is sensitive surrounding built form and
        does not dominate the streetscape. The proposed articulation will be combined with subtropical
        landscaping to break up the building’s facade and complement the natural environment.

        Parking

        The application material does not clearly indicate where the 9 parking spaces for short-term
        accommodation units will be provided.

        Information Required

        4.    Provide a plan detailing the location of all onsite car parks including the location of 9 parking
              spaces for the short-term accommodation units.

        There are 21 car parking spaces provided toward the rear of the proposed works, provided as
        part of approval TPC 2477 on 4 November 1993. This, in addition to basement parking provided
        for the wider site, it is considered that adequate parking is provided for the proposal at hand.

        The existing basement parking on site can easily provide adequate carparking to cater for the
        proposal at hand. The proposed short-term accommodation units will share the wider sites
        carparking. No allocated parking is proposed so that consistency is maintained with the
        Seahaven Resort.
