Refused Decision Notice MCU22 0094 · MCU22/0094

                      a.      The development does not retain or propose to enhance the required 10m wide
                              landscaped garden bed to Hofmann Drive which is important to contribute and create
                              the character sought for the Noosa Business Centre.
               4.     The proposal is not consistent with the overall outcome (3)(f) and (4) acceptable and
                      performance outcomes AO32.4, AO32.5, AO32.6, PO32 and PO33 of the Major Centre Zone
                      as:
                      a.      Reducing the width of the landscaped garden beds required to Hofmann Drive,
                              particularly where this approach is continued for the remainder of the lots with frontage
                              to Hofmann Drive, will compromise and impact the ability to achieve a centre which is
                              overall recognisable as having a Noosa style.
                      b.      The proposal does not retain, incorporate, or enhance the existing vegetation within
                              the required 10m wide landscaped garden bed to Hofmann Drive, which is important to
                              enhance the visual amenity and natural landscape character of the Noosa Business
                              Centre.
                      c.      The proposal disrupts the landscaped streetscape treatment required to Hofmann
                              Drive intended to enhance the amenity and contribute positively to the centre’s
                              character.
                      d.      The proposed use is an inconsistent use in the Major Centre Zone Code – Business
                              Park Precinct will not deliver the commercial and employment uses intended for the
                              Precinct such as health and wellbeing, education, research and technology and
                              knowledge-based industries.
                      e.      The bio retention basin at the front of the site is located within the required setback
                              area and in front of the proposed carparking area which results in the development
                              being more visible to the road and not located in a park like setting.
               5.     The proposal is not consistent with overall outcome 2(a), (d) and performance outcome PO8
                      of the Sustainable Building Design Code as the development does not provide a minimum
                      floor to ceiling height of 2.7m.
               6.     The proposed bicycle parking is not consistent with acceptable outcomes AO6.1 of the
                      Driveways and Parking Code as they are located in an area that impedes access around the
                      site.
