  2.5                     Suggested Design Amendments

                                  a)     It is suggested that the roof form be broken up to reduce the perceived bulk and length of
                                         the building and to negate the perception of an overdevelopment of the site. This may be
                                         achieved through the use of multiple roof planes, rather than the single skillion form
                                         proposed now. The roof forms should contribute positively to the local roofscape skyline,
                                         be of Noosa Style vernacular, and should reinforce the low density character of the locality.
                                         It is considered that articulation of the roof form will go a long way to helping the proposal
                                         to better sit with local context, character and landscape. The attached sketch drawing SK01
                                         indicates, through the use of red arrows, an in principal roof option where the roof form is
                                         ‘broken’ in the middle and at the western end through the use of changes in roof fall
                                         direction.                                                                                                                                     Commented [JL5]: The roof form has been amended in
                                                                                                                                                                                        accordance with the sketch provided by nra-co-lab.
                                  b) Additional eaves presentation to Earl Street and Ernest Street should be considered.
                                                                                                                                                                                        Commented [JL6]: Additional eaves have been included
                                                                                                                                                                                        along Ernest and Earl Streets.




  ITEM                     NOTES
  3.                       FRONTAGE TREATMENT/SETBACKS

  3.1                      General

                           The Hilton Street frontage is fairly long and there is concern that the current proposal sees that
                           frontage dominated by a very visible carpark. It is suggested that further design work is required to
                           provide articulation to the carpark edges, screening of waste areas, as well as softening of the
                           carpark/footpath interface and improvement of visual interest for the pedestrian experience.                                                                 Commented [JL7]: A coherent landscaping design
                                                                                                                                                                                        proposes to reduce the visual impacts of the carpark and
                           In addition there is some concern raised around the interface with Earl Street.                                                                              allow for pedestrian movement through the site. Waste areas
                                                                                                                                                                                        are located at the rear of the building and screened from the
                                                                                                                                                                                        main frontages.
  3.2                      Streetscape Character
                                                                                                                                                                                        Commented [JL8]: Additional setback and landscaping is
                                                                                                                                                                                        provided to Earl Street to ensure the building does not
                           Section O55 a) of Division 20 of the ‘Tewantin & Doonan Locality Plan’ requires that a high quality                                                          dominate the street.
                           streetscape be provided that creates pedestrian scale and visual interest. The proposal has a
                           landscaped bank along the Hilton terrace frontage. This is broken up with only a white rendered
                           masonry wall and timber framed pergola roof at the location of the access ramps.

                           Section O55 g) of Division 20 of the ‘Tewantin & Doonan Locality Plan’ requires integration of the
                           landscaping into the building design and car parking areas. It is noted that the proposal has
                           commenced this integration, but that the carpark remains largely unarticulated/broken up at the
                           frontage to Hilton Terrace.                                                                                                                                  Commented [JL9]: The landscaping plan is designed to
                                                                                                                                                                                        integrate and break up the carparking in the frontage.
