                 13. Amend the design to the Gympie Road and Thomas Street corner to increase the
                     identifiable characteristic of the ‘Key Corner’ as stated in the Local Plan code and SC6.8.6
                     Noosaville planning scheme policy.
                 14. Provide a revised set of architectural and landscape plans that incorporate meaningful
                     landscape treatments and architectural features to the corner of Gympie Terrace and
                     Thomas street in accordance with the Figure AP3-10A and Figure AP3-10B.

                 Issue - Site Coverage
                 Acceptable Outcome PO11 of the Tourist Accommodation Zone Code states a maximum site
                 cover for all buildings and structures of 45%.
                 The Noosa Plan 2020 defines Site Cover as:
                    “…the portion of the site, expressed as a percentage, that will be covered by a building or
                    structure, measured to its outermost projection, after the development is carried out, other
                    than a building or structure, or part of a building or structure, that is
                    (a) in a landscaped or open space area, including, for example a gazebo or shade structure
                    or;
                    (b) a basement that is completely below ground level and used for car parking; or
                    (c) the eaves of a building; or
                    (d) a sun shade.”


                 The proposed development states a site cover of 50% and is not supported. Council’s
                 calculations indicate that the site cover should also include;
                     - the upper roof areas; and
                     - the suspended slab awning area located over the outdoor dining areas and as this
                       structure it is not located in a landscaped open space, is not an eave and is not a
                       sunshade.

                 The large areas and dimensions of internal pedestrian circulation pushes the accommodation
                 units towards the street frontages which contribute to site coverage.
                 Information Required
                 15. Provide amended plans to include the above roof and concrete awning areas within the
                     site cover calculation and amend the design to reduce the site cover of the development
                     to 45% (as calculated in accordance with the Noosa Plan 2020 definition).

                 Note: A potential reduction in the internal circulation areas may assist with achieving increased
                 setbacks to street frontages and compliant site coverage.


                 Issue - Unit configuration / layout
                 It is unclear how the below units are to be used as they appear to be two self-contained units
                 which can be accessed separately.
                 Ground floor - Unit 3, 209m²
                 Level 1 - Unit 3, 209m²; and
                 Level 2 - Unit 3, 209m²
                 Information Required
                 16. Provide additional information that clarifies the use of each room in the units.
