5.    The proposed development is contrary Overall Outcomes 11.7.2 tt) ii, x, xi B & C of to the
      Noosaville Locality Code as the proposed extent of retail is not planned and significantly
      exceeds the retail caps set by the Noosa Plan; and
      5.1. will not support the growth of the Noosa Business Centre as being a multi-function
           employment node which provides for a wide range of business uses;
      5.2. will not retain the development capacity within the centre in the longer term to take
           advantage of potential new employment opportunities.
6.    The proposed built form, design and layout does not comply with Overall Outcomes 11.7.2
      tt iv, v & viii of the Noosaville Locality Code as:
      6.1. the proposal has the characteristics of a standard retail commercial design without
           the architectural features unique to Noosa;
      6.2. overall the built form is more suited to retail uses than to the other uses proposed
           such as low impact industry;
      6.3. the applicant has not demonstrated that some buildings will be sufficiently screened
           from Council’s major road network;
      6.4. building 4 exceeds the maximum building height for the area and has a reduced
           building setback from Hofmann Drive; and
      6.5. pedestrian connectivity and access is poor.
7.    The proposal does not satisfy Specific Outcome O28 of the Landscaping Code and O17 of

      Water Sensitive Design Code and Specific Outcome O8 of the Transport, Roads and
      Drainage Code.
11.   The proposal includes clearing of significant vegetation as part of the proposed measures
      for stormwater management contrary to the purpose of current environmental covenants
      registered over the site and the Noosaville Locality Code requirements for Precinct OS3
      Specific Outcomes O218 to O222 and Precinct OS6 Specific Outcomes O224 & O225.
12.   The proposal does not comply with the draft Noosa Plan as:
      12.1. the quantum of retail proposed is not envisaged on the site and does not advance nor
            assist in preparing for a transitioning or changing economy contrary to Strategic
            Intent 3.2.6 - A diverse and resilient economy and Strategic Outcomes 3.3.5(r) and
            (s)(i)(B);
      12.2. the proposal is not contributing to the key priority sectors identified in Strategic Intent

      12.3. the proposal does not comply with PO1 of the Transport Code and PO6 of the
            Driveways and Parking Code as carparking is grossly deficient and the applicant has
            not demonstrated there will not be adverse effects on the surrounding traffic network;
      12.4. the development does not comply with Overall Outcomes 6.4.1.2 (3)(c) (iii) & 3(f) of
            the Major Centre Zone Code as it does not reflect appropriate subtropical design and
            is not distinctively recognisable as being Noosa Style; and
