  ITEM                    NOTES
                          “contribute positively to the local skyline”, nor “complement the low density character of the locality”.
                          It is considered that at 50m+ long the roof form will be perceived as quite monolithic and will
                          increase the perceived mass and bulk of the building. It is noted that the front façade of the building
                          has been stepped, however this will not be sufficient to break up the bulk of the building. Items d)
                          and e) of section O55 under Division 20 of the ‘Tewantin & Doonan Locality Plan,’ also state the
                          requirement for developments to contribute to their setting and skyline as well as be consistent with
                          the bulk and scale of buildings on adjoining or nearby land.                                                                                                  Commented [JL1]: The roof line has been amended to
                                                                                                                                                                                        include three different roof forms including various pitchand
                          Although the roof pitch of 5 degrees will satisfy probable solution S13.1 of Division 16 of the                                                               slopes to break up the long roof form.
                          ‘Tewantin & Doonan Locality Plan’ it is considered that the overall roof, due to its length may be
                          perceived as being incongruous with the local roof form character. It is noted that the proposal does
                          not provide minimum 600mm eaves to “at least 75% of the perimeter to the building.” Although It is
                          acknowledged that the sewer zone of influence has placed restrictions on the ability to provide eaves
                          at the rear of the building.                                                                                                                                  Commented [JL2]: Roof eaves have been provided to 60%
                                                                                                                                                                                        of the building except for the rear of the building adjacent to
                                                                                                                                                                                        the sewer.
  2.3                     Building Bulk

                          Section O12 b) of Division 11 (Business works Code) of Part 14 of the Noosa Plan require the site
                          cover of buildings not to present an appearance of bulk to adjacent properties, roads or other areas.
                          Whilst the site cover appears to be compliant, the building does present an appearance of bulk and
                          considerable length to the road and other areas in vicinity of the site.                                                                                      Commented [JL3]: The breaking up of the roof form has
                                                                                                                                                                                        overcome the previous appearance of the long roof form and
                                                                                                                                                                                        perceptions of bulk. The mixture of materials and awnings
  2.4                     Built Form
                                                                                                                                                                                        also enhances the appearance of the building.

                          It is considered that the density of the development within the site area is compatible with the
                          surrounding development in accordance with section 03 of Division 16 of the ‘Tewantin & Doonan
                          Locality Plan”

                          There is little to no existing vegetation on the site. As such it is considered that the proposal scheme
                          has low site impact and will not negatively impact local landforms. The use of additional native
                          vegetation may be considered.                                                                                                                                 Commented [JL4]: Landscaping plan is included with the
                                                                                                                                                                                        use of native vegetation throughout.
