Noosa Junction
(5) The following overall outcomes apply to Noosa Junction and are additional to the overall
outcomes of the Major centre zone:
     (a) Noosa Junction retains its traditional main street focus with a strong core of businesses
     fronting Sunshine Beach Road, Lanyana Way and Arcadia Street.


Comment: The proposed Indoor Sport and Recreation use is consistent with the nature, scale and
type of uses envisaged in the location. The development does not pose any significant adverse
effects in regard to biodiversity, landscape quality, water quality, or amenity enjoyed by users of
surrounding premises. The proposed development is compatible with the existing surrounding uses.

The proposed development consists of the reuse of an existing café (Food and Drink use) and no
expansion of the building is proposed. No external works are proposed to the built form and
therefore the use will not affect the visual amenity of the area and will retain the existing character
of the area.
