5.0 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
5.1 ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE PLANS

Architectural and Landscape Plans prepared by Blackburne Jackson Design are attached. The plans
include a site plan, floor plans, elevations & section plans, perspective plans and landscape concept. The
plans demonstrate that the proposal results in a built form and facade that presents attractively to all road
frontages and existing development and will complement the existing character of the area.

5.2 ECONOMIC NEEDS ANALYSIS

An Economic Needs Analysis prepared by Urban Economics is attached. The overall objective of the
Analysis is to examine need for the proposed Medical Centre on the subject site based on demand for
additional health care services, the location and mix of existing health care services and the capacity for
existing activity centres to accommodate additional demand, relative to the subject site.

The findings of the Analysis demonstrates that there is a clear and pressing need for the development of a
purpose-built health care specialised precinct surrounding the Noosa Hospital, improving convenience for
patients and medical professionals and capitalising on the existing (Noosa Hospital) infrastructure.

5.3 NOISE ASSESSMENT REPORT

A Noise Assessment Report prepared by Road Pro Acoustics is attached. The Noise Assessment Report
assesses potential noise impacts on surrounding residential uses resulting from vehicle noise and
mechanical plant associated with the proposed medical centre. The report found that the development can
meet the applicable noise criteria through incorporation of acoustic attenuation measures.

5.4 TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT

A Traffic Impact Assessment prepared by Road Pro Development is attached. The report assesses the
impact of traffic generated by the proposed medical centre development on the external transport
network. Consideration is also given to operational performance, sight visibility, access requirements and
car parking arrangements of the development.

The report found that after the completion of the development the existing traffic network will continue to
operate with spare capacity and the impact of development traffic on the operational performance of the
external road network will be insignificant. The report also found that the proposed parking arrangements
are adequate and generally comply with the requirements of Council.

5.5 ENGINEERING SERVICES ASSESSMENT

An Engineering Services Assessment prepared by Morgan Consulting Engineers is attached. The report
assessed the potential for the proposed development to be connected to essential engineering services
within the local area.

The report found that there are no significant engineering issues in relation to the proposed development
that would preclude the development from being approved by Council.

5.6 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN

A Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Morgan Consulting Engineers is attached. The report
investigates the effects the development will have on stormwater quantity and quality. The report found
that the development will not result in adverse impacts on the environmental values of receiving waters
and that the development can achieve post development peak outflow conditions that are not greater than
pre-development peak outflow conditions.
