    •    The models of care and service mix proposed for the ‘Noosa Health Hub’ are based on the
         University of Queensland’s primary care, clinical innovation and research organisation known
         as UQ Health.

Other facilities on site will include a caretakers unit for the complex.

To provide flexibility for the use of the building, the applicant also seeks approved for offices to
enable a mix of uses that would be complementary to the medical hub.


Building Design

The medical centre is to be constructed over the two sites and comprises a three storey building
located over basement carparking to the front of the site and two floors of carparking over basement
to the rear of the site. The building is of a modern design and is well articulated to the Hofmann
Drive frontage with balconies, timber and stone details and a central three storey entrance/foyer area
that provides a defined entrance whilst emphasizing a change to the line of the building.

All levels of the building are serviced by a central lift.

The proposal plans illustrate an indicative tenancy layout and mix that includes the following:

    •   Basement level: carparking, service and plant rooms, bike lockers and secure bike parking
        area.
    •   Ground floor: central entrance, foyer, ambulance drop zone, pharmacy, consulting/tenancy
        rooms, rehabilitation centre, hydrotherapy pool and bin store and waste/ loading dock and
        access to carparking. Internal landscaped courtyard.
    •   Level 1: consulting/specialist/office rooms.
    •   Level 2: consulting/specialist/office rooms.
