GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                 17 DECEMBER 2018


Built form
The built form is quite different to that approved, as the earth ramp and roof terrace were
dominant features of the design. The proposed building footprint remains generally as approved.
The proposal is articulated, uses aluminium timber-look screening devices, incorporates
generous covered outdoor spaces and a split level roof design with high level windows which
provide internal natural light and interest to the building.
The roof pitch is less than the Probable Solution which requires the main roof to be a minimum of
5°. The main skillion roof is 3° with the surrounding outer hip roof a lesser pitch. The Specific
Outcome seeks roof form is articulated, complements the surrounding area and avoids box
profiles/parapets. Although a low pitch, the roof form is not a box profile and does not use
parapets. Furthermore, eaves are provided to the perimeter of the building and the articulated
roof design and generous balconies overall provide an interesting roof form and building design
which complements the Digital Hub’s design and Peregian Beach village vernacular and is
considered to comply with the Specific Outcome for roof form.
Although the architectural dominant features of the earth ramp and roof terrace have been
removed, importantly, the proposed building provides an interesting, functional and efficient
community space which has been designed in consultation with the relevant community
stakeholders. The proposal does not raise any significant planning concerns and is
recommended to be supported.
4     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposed changes to the built form and floor layout are in accordance with the Planning
Scheme and do not raise any planning concerns and are recommended to be approved.
