The 1997 Strategic Plan provides the foundation
from which the Master Plan should be developed. li
has an important influence on decision-making
associated with any development application and
also provides a significant indication of the way in
which the site should be developed. For these
reasons, a number of extracts from the Strategic
Plan are included in this section.

Extracts are indicated in italic typeface and the
numbering system from the compiled document has
been retained.

2.1.1 Strategic Aims

27.2 Business,

Retail & Administrative
Development
27.2.1 Character, Lifestyle & Environment Role
27.2.1.4 Business, retail and administrative

developments are used on a day to day basis by
residents of and visitors to the Shire. The character
and feel of the establishments in which business,
retail and administrative functions are conducted is
therefore a significant influence on resident and
visitor perception of the Shire.

27.2.1.2 Features such as human _— scale,
development integrated with surrounding built form
and landscape fabric, visual relationships between
indoor spaces and outdoor spaces, low key informal
atmospheres, low stress traffic environments play a
key role in characterising business, retail and
administrative developments in Noosa Shire. These
features are recognised and sought by the Noosa
Shire community.

27.2.1.3 The features described in 27.2.1.2
distinguish business, retail and administrative
developmenis in Noosa Shire from other such
developments in Sunshine Coast and south-east
Queensland areas.

27.2.1.4 The proximity of other centres to Noosa
Shire ensures ready access to higher order goods
and services and comparative shopping, enabling
the scale and atmosphere of local developments to
be retained.

27.2.2 Economic Role

27.2.2.1 The business, retail and administrative
sectors are important contributors to the Shire
economy. Nevertheless, their significance is not so
great as to warrant the setting aside of the Shire’s
core values and the character, lifestyle and
environment enjoyed by its residents, in order to
achieve short term economic and employment goals.

27.2.2.2 Business, retail and administrative
developments which recognise and reflect the
natural character and environment values of the
Shire will assist in achieving sustainable economic
and employment growth across a range of industry
sectors.

27.2.3 Aims

27.2.3.1 Recognise that a significant proportion of
the higher order needs of the Shire’s population is
fulfilled by business, retail and administrative
developments located in other regions, particularly
the key regional centre of Maroochydore.

27.2.3.2 Encourage the development of the principal
business, retail and administrative centre on Eenie
Creek Road at Noosaville, in stages consistent with
the needs of the population of the Shire.

27.2.3.3 Protect the long term viability of the principal
business, retail and administrative centre to the
extent that:-

e Short term needs may be set aside to ensure
the medium-long term implementation of the
centre.

27.2.3.5 Ensure that business, retail and
administrative development has high levels of
accessibility.

27.2.3.6 Ensure that business, retail and
administrative development adheres to the Strategic
Principles and Development Principles.

The Strategic Plan also includes a range of
Transport Strategic Aims that are of relevance to the
development of the road network to service the Shire
and therefore of influence on:

« The characteristics sought in the roads leading
to the site; and

¢ The manner and mode by which access is
taken to and from the site.

These aims are not reproduced in this document.
