Issue – Façade of Existing Pokies Area to Poinciana Avenue
The architectural plans indicate that it is proposed to ’retain existing façade finish, make good
and repair any damaged paint finish’ to the pokies area adjacent Poinciana Avenue. This
existing extension to the hotel contributes little to the streetscape, noting the requirements for
Primary Active Frontage along the Poinciana Avenue frontage under the Tewantin Local Plan
Code. It is recommended this façade be improved to provide an enhanced streetscape
character. Improvements may include the removal of the mirrored windows, providing
additional/improved openings to the street, removing the green parapet, incorporating a street
awning, and/or including a use that will better activate this part of the street.
Information Required
6.    Provide amended plans detailing improvements to the façade of the existing pokies area
      to Poinciana Avenue, including all-weather protection in the form of a continuous
      cantilevered awning over footpath areas that will not impact on the character of the
      original heritage building and/or existing and proposed landscaping along this frontage.


Issue - Function Room
The application as lodged seeks approval for a ‘hotel extension, shop and boundary
realignment of 2 into 2 lots’. The plans detail that some of the existing accommodation rooms
on level 1 are to be demolished for a 185m2 function room, 115m2 function roof deck and 16m2
bar. A Hotel may include an ‘entertainment activity’ (which includes a function facility), where
the activity is ancillary to the selling of liquor for consumption on the premises.
