Issues raised in Council’s further information request have been addressed as follows:

    1. Stormwater Drainage
Please refer to enclosed Site Based Stormwater Management Plan by STP Consultants which
addresses Item 1 of Council’s further information request.

     2. Existing Infrastructure
Appendix A of the enclosed Site Based Stormwater Management Plan by STP Consultants
includes a site survey showing all existing infrastructure as requested in Item 2 of Council’s
further information request.

    3. Stormwater Management Plan
Please refer to enclosed Site Based Stormwater Management Plan by STP Consultants which
addresses Item 3 of Council’s further information request.

     4. Front Setback
The front boundary setback has been significantly increased in response to Council’s
comments. Notably, the proposed front setback ranges from 4.2m to 5.9m. The front setback
varies due to the angular nature of the front boundary. The proposed front setback is
compatible with surrounding setbacks and provides opportunity for soft landscaping forward
of the building. Reference is made to the buildings constructed on Lots 3 & 4 which consist
of front setbacks of 4.2m. Thus the proposed front setback which ranges from 4.2m – 5.9m
will complement the existing setbacks in the Noosa Metro Innovation Park.

    5. Bushfire Setback
The proposed layout has been revised to provide an unobstructed 5m wide rear bushfire
setbacks consistent with the approved Fire Management Plan for the estate.

    6. Building Design
The proposed roof form has been revised to incorporate a pitch of 3 degrees which is
consistent with the approval granted on adjacent Lot 10 (MCU14/0077) as well as the
character surrounding locality. Please see comparison below of the adjacent development on
Lot 10 which incorporates a compatible building and roof form, refer to Figure 1 and 2. It is
important to note that the site is located on the edge of the Shire Business Zone with the
surrounding properties in Rene Street being an existing industrial estate. The character of the
surrounding locality comprises of a predominance of industrial building forms. In this respect,
the proposed building and roof form is identified as being compatible with the character of
the locality. The proposed design provides for the use of render and glazing along with the
use of external elements such as awnings, canopies and signage. As shown on the Landscape
Concept Plan by Laud, the proposed design provides for substantial area of landscaping
between the building form and the front boundary which will soften the building form and
support a high degree of visual appeal.
