Amendments to the building elevations are also proposed which the applicant suggests are
resultant from the rebranding of the company (Noosa Chocolate). The new building will comprise
lighter tones and colours and provides for some articulation to the northern elevation along
Venture Drive and limited articulation along the elevation to Vision Court. Proposal plans are
provided in Attachment 1 and the superseded approved plans provided in Attachment 2.
The applicant also wishes to obtain approval for various amendments to the approved landscape
design, to complement the new building design, which namely comprises alternative species and
pot sizes. The proposed landscaped areas and setbacks are generally retained in the same
locations as per the original approval. Architectural renders of the approved and proposed
building is provided below in Figure 1, 2, 3 and 4.
