A comprehensive site survey was conducted on 25th May 2023 and identified the following:

   •      The site is zoned Major Centre Zone (as defined in the Noosa Planning Scheme 2020) and is
          occupied by commercial premises that will be demolished.
   •      Noosa Drive bounds the site to the northwest and Bottlebrush Avenue to the northeast.
   •      The surrounding area consists of residential dwellings and commercial premises.


2.2       Proposal
The proposal is to construct a mixed-use development as follows:

      •    3-storey mixed used development with a basement and rooftop terrace
               o Basement: 2 restaurant/café spaces w/ amenities.
               o Ground Floor: 1 residential unit and 6 car parking spaces.
               o First floor: 3 residential units
               o Second floor: 2 residential penthouse suites
               o Rooftop: communal pool
      •    Site access via Noosa Drive

Refer to the Appendices for development plans.


2.3       Zoning
Review of the Noosa Planning 2020 interactive mapping clearly indicates that the area of the
proposed development is zoned Major Centre. The sensitive receivers in the vicinity of the site are
zoned High Density Residential, Major Centre, and Tourist Accommodation. Based on this
information the criteria nominated in Section 6 apply.


2.4       Acoustic Environment
The site and surrounding area are primarily affected by road traffic noise from Noosa Drive and
noise from nearby commercial premises.


3. Equipment
The following equipment was used to record noise levels:

   •      Rion NL42 Environmental Noise Monitor
   •      BSWA Technology Co. Ltd Sound Calibrator

The Rion NL42 Environmental Noise Monitor holds current NATA Laboratory Certification and was
field calibrated before and after the monitoring period, with no significant drift from the reference
signal recorded.
