This figure also details that the maximum height of Building A is no greater than the CAS.
Reference is made to Section 3.0 of the Visual Amenity Considerations Report prepared
by Chenoweth Environmental Planning & Landscape Architecture submitted as part of
Volume Iil - Consultants’ Reports. This section states:

The proposed Stage 3 development is in a semi-seciuded valley and will be almost
completely screened by topography and existing vegetation from Hastings Street, Main
Beach, Noosa Sound and other extemal public viewpoints. While the upper parts of three
northem buildings (Buildings B, C & D) (Buildings A, B & C] will be glimpsed, the extent of
their visibility will be no greater than the CAS.

Reference is also made to Sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 of the Architectural Design Report
prepared by JMA Architects submitted as part of Volume Ill — Consultants’ Reports.
These sections detail the roof design and building colours proposed to be utilised for the
all buildings. Specifically it is noted that it is proposed to incorporate:

Roof “Lids” with a maximum pitch of 5 degrees (2 degrees to Unit and apartment
buildings) and extensive overhangs are proposed as a means of avoiding adverse visual
impact created by the development...in fact, like the Stage 2: Viridian Residences, the
buildings have ‘non-roofs” which don't dominate the landscape. The colouring and
patterning of the elevations is the main method of “environmental urban camouflage”.

The photos below detail the roof form and colour scheme used for the Viridian
Residences (the basis for the current proposal) ensures that any buildings within the view
lines from the groynes, beach front or Hastings Street (whilst considered to be minimal)
will disappear into the landscape.

 

 

 

With regards to the submitters concerns regarding overshadowing, diagrams prepared by
JMA are included as Attachment 4. These overshadowing pians detail the shadowing
impacts of Buildings A & J on the Viridian Residences at the following times:

+ Yam on 22™ September (equinox); and

+ Yam on 22” December (summer sottice).
These times have been nominated as they represent a sunlight spectrum, from an
average sunlight access senario (equinox) through to a worst case senario (summer
soltice) in relation to the Viridian Residences. These diagrams clearly indicate that the
proposed development will not cause a detrimental amenity impact due to
overshadowing.
