EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Snowlake Pty Ltd (the ‘Applicant’) proposes to redevelop the site at 100 Hilton
Terrace, Noosaville to establish four (4) x 2-storey townhouses. This proposal
represents a high-quality development outcome with a focus on
contemporary, subtropical design and outdoor living in a highly desirable
location.
The proposed development contributes to housing diversity and choice in
Noosa through a premium, attached housing product. Dwellings are a
minimum of 3-bedrooms with spacious floor areas and prioritises communal
spaces oriented towards the Noosa River.

REASONS FOR APPROVAL
This report demonstrates that the proposed development should be approved
for the following reasons:
▪   The proposal complies with the strategic objectives for the site which
    anticipates medium density multiple dwellings with a low scale form which
    reinforces the character of a residential neighbourhood.
▪   The proposed development complies with the key built form parameters in
    Noosa Plan 2020, including building height, site cover, setbacks,
    landscape open space, and car parking supply.
▪   The proposed development represents a high quality architectural design
    which is suitable and appropriate for the location.
▪   The design is sympathetic with the existing streetscape character by
    adopting staggered, articulated facades, variation in roof form and
    landscaping and is commensurate in scale to the existing built form on the
    site and nearby.
▪   The proposed land use is consistent with the intent for development on
    the site, intended for permanent residential living, and not short-stay
    visitor accommodation
▪   The proposed development carefully balances the built form with
    landscaped open space which contributes to the character of the locality

2.3. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND BUILT FORM                                            Figure 1 – Site Plan Analysis

     RESPONSE
Designed by Blight Rayner, the proposal represents a high-quality design that
draws upon the subtropical, coastal aesthetic that is representative of
Noosaville and the Noosa Shire more broadly. With respect to this, the design
is responsive to the Hilton Terrace streetscape and Chaplain Park.
The design enhances the residential amenity, whilst being responsive to the
surrounding built form and character. The primary materials include elements
of timber, stone and textured materials of a natural colour palette to reflect
and maintain the ‘natural’ appeal of Noosa’s prevalent architecture. The
development encompasses subtropical design through the inclusion of open
living areas that flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, eaves and large
windows to capitalise on breezes, sunlight and the Noosa climate.
The building design has been shaped to respond to the site conditions, with
contextual references to both its natural and built surrounds. In particular, the
prevailing height, setbacks and bulk and scales is commensurate with
medium density forms that are existing on Hilton Terrace.
The private outdoor spaces located at the rear has been carefully designed
and located to capitalise on the subtropical climate and the desire for outdoor
living. The inclusion of pool terraces and outdoor dining space are intended to
connect the proposal to the natural environment at the rear of the site, being
Chaplain Park and the Noosa River further east. The function of the private
outdoor spaces is intended to harmonise with these natural landscapes and
connect the built form to the coastal environment.

4. LOCAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK
The Noosa Plan 2020 (‘the Planning Scheme’) is the local planning instrument
relevant to the assessment of the proposed development. The following
sections of this report provide an assessment of the proposed development
against the relevant assessment benchmarks in the planning scheme.

4.1. ZONING
Under the Planning Scheme, the site is identified in the Medium Density
Residential Zone. The purpose of the Medium Density Residential Zone is to:
“provide for:-
    a) medium density multiple dwellings; and
    b) community uses, and small-scale services, facilities and
       infrastructure, to support local residents”
The overall outcomes of the Medium Density Residential Zone relevant to the
proposal are as follows:
“Development makes a positive contribution to the look and feel of residential
neighbourhoods by maintaining a low scale character with well designed
buildings and landscaping that enhance the streetscape”.
The proposed development achieves this purpose by providing residential
uses which respond to current and projected housing demand. The proposed
development also meets several of the overall outcomes for the zone
including:
▪   Providing increased housing choice;
▪   Development is tailored to the specific location, role and function of the
    individual area;
▪   It is of a height, bulk and scale that is commensurate to the characteristics
    of the surrounding neighbourhood.
The purpose of the Medium Density Residential Zone contemplated in the
proposed Amendment No. 2 to Noosa Plan 2020 reinforces the need for a
range of medium density housing types for permanent residents. The
proposed development reinforces this purpose by providing permanent
housing for local residents, not visitors.

                                                                                                                       URBIS

Page 15

4.2. LOCAL PLAN
The site is located in the Noosaville Local Plan area. The purpose of the
Noosaville local plan code is to:
        “provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
        development within the Noosaville local plan area. “
The overall outcomes of the Noosaville Local Plan relevant to the proposal
stated as follows:
        “Development in the Medium Density and High Density Housing zones
        accommodates a greater diversity in housing types including dual
        occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential
        care facilities”.
Markedly, the proposed development achieves this outcome by increasing
housing diversity in the local plan area. Moreover, the proposed development
recognises and reinforces the waterfront location and character of the local
plan area by providing high quality, low rise, sub-tropical buildings and
landscape design that promote a positive outdoor lifestyle.

5. LOCAL GOVERNMENT
   INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
The Local Government Infrastructure Plan (‘LGIP’) integrates and coordinates
land use planning and infrastructure planning and ensures that trunk
infrastructure is planned and provided in an efficient and orderly manner.
The LGIP identifies that the site is located in the Noosa Council Priority
Infrastructure Area (PIA). The PIA identifies the areas that have been
prioritised for the provision of trunk infrastructure to service the existing and
assumed future urban development up to 2031.
Whilst the site is identified in the PIA, there are not currently any trunk
infrastructure provisions that are applicable to the site. As demonstrated in the
Figure to adjacent, Chaplain Park that adjoins the site as the rear boundary is
mapped as a recreation park.
