The subject site (2.37 ha) forms part of the Settlers Cove masterplanned community, with an outstanding location and size, providing opportunity for a
high class resort hotel development.

Settlers Cove is centrally located in Noosa Heads and a future boardwalk along the creek will allow people to access the beach, public transport or
Hastings Street within 10 minute walk.

The proposed development is on a site (lots 10 and 11) which slopes steeply towards the park with southern views of Noosa Shores, wetlands and
distant hinterland.

A good urban design response with variety of uses and facilities, including 109 apartments (mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms), hotel lobby and reception,
resort retail, day spa, conference facility and restaurant.

All car parking is accommodated in basements with few short term visitor spaces at grade near the main entry and port cochere.

Visitors to Settlers Cove will arrive via Banksia Avenue with a 4 storey architectural feature on axes with round about and first address on corner of the
development.

Main access to the site is from Serenity Close with a grand arrival fore court and porte cochere with water features and strong visual axes between
reception, over reflection ponds, resort pool and landscape feature in park.

The architectural treatment will reflect a 5 star resort hotel but respond and fit within the current Settlers Cove Masterplan and residential built form.

Height limit is 4 storeys and a low site cover of below 35% allow for opportunities to improve existing vegetation with high class landscaped recreational
facilities and connectivity with park, streetscape and wetland.

The development consists of 3 main precincts:

-      1. Reception and Central Facilities Precinct with the resort reception, conference facility, restaurant and kitchen at ground level. Day spa and
          residential apartments at level 1 to 3.

-      2. Court Yard Precinct with apartments and a formal court yard.

-      3. Resort Pool Precinct, with apartments, a resort pool and pavilion
