4.2 Noosaville Local Plan Code
The proposal complies with the Noosaville Local Plan Code for the following reasons—

     The proposal contributes to local needs of the Shire by offering Showroom and Commercial
      floor space which will generate substantial employment opportunities for local workers
      complying with Overall Outcome (f), (g) and (h).
     The architecturally attractive building contributes to visual amenity - complying with AO3.1,
      AO3.2 AO3.3 and PO3.
     Views from Walter Hay Drive, part of the major road network, are not intruded upon as the
      vegetation in the covenant is fully retained complying with AO4 and PO4 (see Figure 3 above).
     The buildings do not exceed the existing mature vegetation within the covenant area, which is
      in accordance with AO5, AO6, PO5 and PO6.
     The building is an L shape and well-articulated providing variation and depth to the elevations.
      Furthermore, given the landscaping to the majority of the perimeter of the site, the design will
      sit within this landscaped setting complying with AO7 and PO7.
     Providing Showrooms and Offices fully complies with PO9.
     The design is an interesting and distinguishable L shaped building which appears as 2
      individual buildings rather than one bulky structure. The articulated elevation facing the entry
      to the NBC off Walter Hay Drive roundabout provides depth and synergy complementing the
      existing mature vegetation. In this regard, the proposal meets the intent and what is demanded
      of a key corner building design identified in Figure 7.2.4.5.
