 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”

    G) is consistent with the infrastructure, indoor and outdoor recreation, education, social and safety needs
       of the local community, including people with special needs, such as the elderly, children, low income
       earners and disabled persons;

The subject land is intended to provide support services to the Noosa Hospital. The Noosaville Medical and
Professional Centre has been very successful in providing a range of medical and other related services which
support the Noosa Hospital and community generally. Further, the overall outcome specifically refers to
medical, health and education uses, all of which are provided for under the current approval. The proposed
development is entirely consistent with this overall outcome and will value add to the existing development.

The most relevant specific outcomes under Table 11.13 are discussed below.

Amenity
O1 Uses are located, designed and operated to avoid significant adverse changes to the light, air quality, noise,
accessibility or other conditions enjoyed by users of associated, adjoining or nearby uses.

While the proposed development is a relatively large structure it is setback 3m to the adjoining residential
properties to the northwest with this area being densely landscaped. Importantly, the third level containing
the office floor space is setback 14m from the edge of the multi-level carpark structure. Further, the lower
carpark level is below the natural ground level in a similar manner to Building B and is located behind the
existing Telstra Depot. Consequently, the proposal is removed from Goodchap Street and will present as two
(2) storeys to the neighbouring properties to the northwest. The existing access arrangements are also being
maintained. The proposed development will not cause any adverse amenity impacts in terms of light, air
quality, noise or accessibility.

Visual amenity
O3 The visual amenity and character surrounding the major road network is protected and enhances the
recognisable entrance to Noosaville through:
a) retaining and enhancing the visual and physical separation of Noosaville from other localities; and
b) ensuring development does not encroach upon existing native vegetation along the road frontage other
    than for access ways.

The proposed new building structure does not front the major road network. Further, the design and nature
of the development is in keeping with the scale and bulk of the existing development. The new building is
separate from the existing building and connected by a covered walkway to Building B. The separation of the
built form assists is reducing the appearance of building bulk when viewed from Goodchap Street. The
proposed development will not adversely impact upon the visual amenity and character of the area.

Built Form
Height
O8 Buildings and other structures:
   a) are low rise and have a visual bulk and an architectural scale consistent with structures on adjoining or
       nearby land;
   b) do not exceed a building height of:
         iv.  for all other zones— 2 storeys;
   c) do not visually dominate the street or surrounding spaces;
   d) preserve the amenity of surrounding land;
   e) ensure that development responds to the site topography; and
