                 site comply with the relevant provisions of the planning scheme and the
                 Building Act 1975, unless varied by this Decision Notice
           b.    all constructed access and roadworks (including associated fill batters and

                 easement
           c.    all utility services and connections (eg. electricity, telecommunications, water,

           d.    all retaining walls and structures are fully contained within the lot they retain

     Planning Scheme:
     1.    The development meets emerging community needs for co-work spaces and digital
           industries.
     2.    The development provides new start-up, incubation, networking and development
           opportunities for Noosa business and community uses.
     3.    The community based development aligns with the intent of the site’s community
           zoning and retains significant open space and recreational areas.
     4.    The development is consistent with Noosa Council’s adopted Rufous Street Precinct
           Master Plan.
     5.    The development will not adversely impact on existing residential or commercial
           uses.
