Photomontage 5 – South of Eumundi Noosa Road

The landscaping in front of carpark P3 will continue to grow and will be supplemented by 8m
high trees species. The landscaping in front of the Sports Precinct (V) is yet to be provided.
Additional landscaping is also being provided around the PAC as shown on the Landscape
Concept Plan (refer Attachment 4 – Response to the information request, dated 21 March
2024). Further, the landscaping will be subject to an operational works application, which will
provide for the nominated tree and plant species.

With respect to the specific assessment benchmarks that have been raised, the following
additional comments are provided, also having regard to the development under the Master
Plan:

•     Building height (PO17) - The majority of buildings will not exceed 8m in height other
      than the existing Sports Hall (Building K), which is approximately 13.45m and the
      proposed PAC, which will have a maximum height of 10.5m from natural ground level
      and 11m from finished ground level. Having regard to the assessment benchmarks, the
      following advice is provided:

          o   The PAC is low rise and will have a visual bulk and architectural scale that is
              consistent with the character of the area. This is because of the scale of the
              existing Sports Hall, the industrial and commercial buildings near the site, the
              sleeving by other buildings on the site, the existing vegetation to the south and
              the landscaping to be provided to the south of the building, to the southeast in
              front of the Sport Precinct (Area V) and in front of Car Park P3;
          o   The PAC will not visually dominate the street as demonstrated in the
              photomontages;
          o   The PAC will preserve the amenity of surrounding development including privacy,
              views and is well removed from residential properties;

                                                                                           5|Page
