2. Provide further detail to understand the extent of works required to facilitate the
   development, including a demolition plan to the extent relevant.

Response: Detailed elevations of Buildings 1 & 4 are not considered necessary in this instance
as the proposed works do not materially alter the approved building form or presentation.
Building 4 remains unchanged. Building 1 also remains generally unchanged, except for the
inclusion of an external facade screen shown as “FDR” on the previously submitted
architectural plans.

The proposed FDR screen comprises moulded resin and fibreglass grating. The screen is
proposed in Light Grey RAL 9006, with 38mm x 38mm openings. Product information and
reference imagery are provided in the attachments to confirm the intended material,
appearance and finish. Example image below.




The relevant built form provisions of the Noosaville Local Plan Code and Medium Impact
Industry Zone Code have been reviewed in the context of the limited external works proposed.
The development does not introduce a new building, increase building height, alter the
approved building footprint or result in a materially different built form outcome.

The proposed works to Building 1 are limited to the external facade screen, painting of the
existing facade and associated balustrade treatment shown on the previously submitted plans.
These works will improve the presentation of an older, dated industrial building by providing a
more contemporary external appearance to the Eumundi-Noosa Road frontage. The proposed
screen is therefore an aesthetic upgrade that modernises the building and improves its visual
contribution to the streetscape, while remaining consistent with the low-rise scale, industrial
character and built form intent for the Medium Impact Industry Zone and Noosaville local plan
area.

The extent of demolition in Building 1 is very minor and is already identified on the previously
submitted plans. No further demolition plan is therefore required beyond the information
already provided.

Item – Landscaping
The subject site is adjacent to Eumundi Noosa Road which is a road network. The Local Plan
Code seeks the front landscaped setback to incorporate landscaping that complements the
natural species occurring within this area and the Zone Code, seeks a minimum of 10 metres
of soft landscaping to be provided along Eumundi Noosa Road.

This is not a reasonable requirement to impose on this development application, considering
the existing development’s layout. However, the site is lacking screening and shading of the
development’s mass. A conceptual landscaping plan is to be submitted identifying areas for
improvement and embellishment to suitably address Performance Outcome PO15 of the
Medium Impact Industry Zone Code.

Information Required
3. Provide a conceptual landscaping plan as discussed above.

Response: The proposed material change of use reuses two existing buildings on the site and
does not propose any material changes to the external areas of the premises, including
frontage landscape areas. The existing frontage landscape areas, site layout and relationship
to Eumundi-Noosa Road are adequately identified on the previously submitted site plan. On
this basis, a separate conceptual landscape plan is not considered necessary or proportionate
to the scope of the application, noting the proposal does not involve new building work or
external works that would alter or reduce the existing landscaped areas.

Item – Floor Plan
Through the action notice response period Building 1 floor plan was amended however has
not been drawn to scale. Scaled drawings are required to cross reference the detailed floor
areas.

Information Required
4. Provide a revised floor plan of Building 1 drawn to scale.

Response: The previously submitted floor plan for Building 1 is drawn to scale. A revised plan
is enclosed with a scale bar, allowing Council to cross-reference the proposed floor areas and
internal layout of Building 1, including the food and drink outlet and medium impact industry
components.

Item – Service Industry
The proposed Service Industry use within Building 4 includes an ancillary retail
sales/administration component. Please confirm that all retail display, sales and storage areas
associated with this component will be contained entirely within the building.

By way of example, if bicycles or other retail merchandise are to be displayed or stored
externally, the retail component may no longer be considered ancillary to the industrial use and
could instead constitute a standalone retail activity on the site. Please clarify the proposed
arrangement and provide updated plans if required.

Information Required
5. Please confirm that all retail display, sales and storage areas associated with the Service
    Industry will be contained entirely within the building.

Response: All retail display, sales and storage areas associated with the Service Industry use
will be contained entirely within Building 4.

Item – Servicing
The proposed deck extension to Building 1 may affect vehicle servicing operations and access
to the loading dock located between Building 1 and Building 2.

Information Required
6. Provide swept path analysis demonstrating that the proposed extension does not
    compromise the ability for a 12-metre single-unit truck (3.6 metres wide) to access,
    manoeuvre within, and service the loading dock

Response: A swept path diagram for the loading bay adjacent to Building 1 is provided as part
of this response. The swept path has been prepared for an 8.80 metre medium rigid vehicle,
which represents the largest vehicle reasonably anticipated to service the uses. The analysis
demonstrates that the proposed deck extension does not compromise access or manoeuvring
for this vehicle. Larger vehicles, if required on an infrequent basis, are able to stand within the
existing driveway aisle without requiring access to the loading area between Building 1 and
Building 2.


                               END INFORMATION RESPONSE

Part 3: Information Request has now concluded and the application is now in Part 5: Decision.
We respectfully request that Council now progress the application to an approval as quickly as
possible, noting the information request has been fully addressed and the proposal is limited
in scope, reusing existing buildings with only minor external works.

Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact
me direct.

Yours faithfully
