Summary

In summary, the future development for the GSLC will be in accordance with the Master Plan.
The Master Plan provides for the removal and construction of new buildings and other
infrastructure having a ten (10) year planning horizon.

The preliminary approval including the Master Plan provides certainty about the number of
students at GSLC being capped at 1150 along with 150 equivalent full-time staff. The
preliminary approval and Master Plan also provide certainty about the onsite parking that is
to be provided, which is well in excess of the expected demand. The onsite traffic
management will also be substantially improved by Car Park P2, to minimise impacts off the
site during peak drop-off and pick-up periods, with number of temporary spaces and vehicle
queuing spaces increased.

It is relevant that the GSLC has existed on the site for many years and the number of
students and equivalent full-time staff is remaining the same. There is no added increase in
demand for parking as a result of the PAC or the development under the Master Plan.

While the proposed PAC exceeds the nominated building height in metres under the
acceptable solution (8m), it is two (2) storeys in height, and meets the performance outcome.
The building is integrated within the existing educational establishment and is well removed
from Walter Hay Drive and other boundaries.

The proposed PAC will have a bulk, scale and form that is compatible with other buildings
within the existing educational establishment, in particular the Sports Hall (Building K) to the
west, which is 1.45m higher. The building is mostly sleeved by other buildings, is in keeping
with the character of the area when having regard to the surrounding industrial
developments and the Noosaville Medical and Professional Centre. The proposed PAC will
not have an adverse visual amenity impact on the major road network or other spaces when
viewed off the site.

The proposed development complies with the planning scheme and ought to be approved
subject to reasonable and relevant conditions being imposed.

Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please contact me.

Yours faithfully
