     iv.    recognising that it may be necessary to increase floor space in existing centres to
            meet changing needs, provided any increased floor space does not impact on the
            successful operation and development of the Shire Business Centre;
      v.    business centres at Cooroy, Noosa Junction, Noosaville and Tewantin;
     vi.    neighbourhood or visitor centres at Peregian Beach, Sunrise Beach, Sunshine Beach,
            Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Tewantin, Cooroibah and Teewah;
     vii.   the town of Pomona and the village centres of Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Cooran;
    viii.   Uses that comprise a large component of Commercial and Retail business uses or
            other non-industrial uses are not located on land that is otherwise intended for
            Industrial business uses;
     ix.    Home-based business uses that contribute to the economy of Noosa, but do not
            reduce surrounding residential amenity or environmental values; and
      x.    energy efficiency and water conservation principles.

Comment: While the development proposal is for two (2) retail uses, those being Type 6
Hardware and Type 7 Garden & Lifestyle Centre, aspects of both of these uses have previously
occurred on the land for a considerable period and continue to occur. The scale and intensity
of the development remains the same as the historic use of the land and in any event is not
of scale that would impact upon the retail hierarchy. Consequently, the proposed
development does not conflict with this DEO.

e) INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS USES

Industrial uses and extractive and mining uses:
       i.  provides suitable levels of service and employment to the community;
      ii.  promotes the sale of local products;
    iii. is predominantly low key, clean and service-orientated;
     iv. is underpinned by environmentally sustainable development practices that avoid
           adverse impacts on immediate or surrounding settlements or ecosystems;
      v.   develops and operates in a sustainable manner, including prudent use of non-
           renewable resources;
     vi. results in a proportion of Noosa’s higher order needs being fulfilled by facilities
           located in other areas, particularly the key regional centre of Maroochydore;
    vii.   protects industrial areas, valuable extractive and mineral resources and associated
           heavy vehicle haul routes, particularly from the encroachment of incompatible
           development, for the ongoing benefit of the community; and
   viii.   utilises water and energy efficient practices.

Comment: The proposed development is for low impact industrial uses and service industry
uses, which will provide employment and some community benefit, albeit at a relatively small
scale. The development is low key and is to be no greater in scale and intensity than that
currently existing on the land or allowed under existing use rights. Further, the development
