4.    The mature trees along the Hastings Street frontage form a significant part of the
      existing Hastings Street streetscape. In particular, the grouping of a Cupaniopsis
      anacardioides, a Euroschinus falcatus and an Alectryon coriaceous at the frontage to
      Lot 12 RP908660 and the two further Callitris columellaris on the site are substantial
      shade and/or character trees. As such, their removal conflicts with outcomes sought
      by the Landscaping Code. Please provide grounds for why these trees cannot be
      retained in the development, including an arborist’s report where appropriate.
5.    The design of the Hastings Street frontage to the site, in particular the inclusion of the
      planter box beams and vergolas, does not allow for substantial plantings to replace
      the significant trees proposed to be removed. Please amend the design to provide
      garden bed areas along the frontage that will allow the retention of existing mature
      trees or the establishment of replacement trees. Please note palms will not be
      acceptable plantings.
6.    Demonstrate how the landscape proposal will “make full restitution to the landscape
      environment” as stated in the Architectural Statement submitted, in light of the mature
      trees proposed to be removed from the Hastings Street streetscape.
7.    An arborist’s report detailing measures required to protect the existing mature Ficus
      trees adjacent to the Main Beach frontage of the site (outside the site boundary). The
      report must address the canopies and root systems that extend into the site in order
      to ensure the ongoing health of these significant trees.
8.    Written details of the design and maintenance measures required to the proposed
      planter beam, including proposed species and required maintenance regime.
Built Form / Design
9.    An amended assessment of the development’s Gross Floor Area based on revised
      lower-ground level GFA allocations, correctly identifying the basement area (as per
      item 2.1). Provide planning grounds to justify the development’s GFA, should the
      revised calculation exceed the provisions of the Noosaville Locality Code.
10.   Further written grounds to justify the proposal’s non-compliance with Probable
      Solution S48.1 of the Noosa Heads Locality Code in regard to the number of non-
      residential tenancies, given that tenancies over 100m2 are calculated as two
      tenancies and the commercial frontage of the development does not provide for the
      retention of the existing mature vegetation at the frontage of the site.
11.   Written details of the energy efficiency measures to be incorporated into the
      development.
12.   Written details of the energy efficiency star rating anticipated for the building.
13.   Written details of the proposed water conservation and re-use measures to be
      incorporated into the development.
Parking
14.   Demonstrate how each accommodation unit will have an accessible car space at all
      times, given that 16 of the 23 residential parking spaces are proposed in tandem.
15.   Demonstrate how an appropriate number of parking spaces will be accessible at all
      times for customers of the commercial tenancies.
General
16.   Details of all existing commercial tenancy areas on the site.
17.   Details of the existing approved outdoor dining areas along the frontage to the site.
