Joinery are retained. Development on sites or adjoining these sites is sympathetic to the existing arrangement of
buildings and landscape setting and does not overwhelm by scale, orientation and design.
(v) Development maintains the role of Cooran village as a local centre and provides limited convenience retail and
commercial services to cater for the day to day needs of local residents and nearby rural residential areas. Whilst
the centre provides for further expansion within the village boundary, Cooran residents will continue to depend on
larger centres to fulfil most of their higher order retail services and business needs.

the village, including the Country Life Hotel and the School of Arts hall, amongst others, are retained and new
development is sympathetic to the arrangement of buildings and landscape setting so as not to overwhelm
established buildings and spaces.
(iv) Development maintains the role of the Kin Kin village as a small local centre and provides limited convenience
retail, commercial and hospitality services for the local community and for visitors. Kin Kin residents will continue to

Cootharaba and the corresponding small dwellings that sit lightly on the lot using suspended floors or step down
slopes, with space between buildings for trees and outdoor living.
(v) Development maintains the area further to the west, between Hector Street and Lake Flat Road, for larger lots to
serve as a transition from the open rural landscape to the village.
(vi) Development respects the mix of traditional and contemporary small scale, subtropical building design and
responds to the specific site conditions, informal streetscaping and low levels of infrastructure and services.
(vii) Important local landmark buildings that contribute to the character and identity of the village including the Apollonian
Hotel and original guesthouse are retained within their setting, not overwhelmed by the proximity, scale, orientation
or design of adjoining development.

7.2.2.1 Application
This code applies to assessable development:
(a) within the Cooroy local plan area as shown on Map ZM10 Cooroy contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
(b) identified as requiring assessment against the Cooroy local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of
Assessment).
7.2.2.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
Cooroy
(1) The purpose of the Cooroy local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of development
within the Cooroy local plan area.
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Cooroy local plan area:
(a) Cooroy is a vibrant, energetic country town servicing the Noosa hinterland and its own growing community and provides
services and facilities to meet the community needs whilst retaining its character and protecting the natural and heritage
values of the area.
(b) Development is limited to land within the urban boundary and maintains a defined edge to the town to protect and reinforce
the character and identity of Cooroy, provide efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained land and
protect the landscape character and productivity of surrounding rural and rural residential land.
(c) Development is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas, retain landscape and built form elements,
including significant views and vistas to external elements, that contributes to the setting, character and identity of Cooroy as
a town with a strong sense of place and associations with the past. Valued elements include:
(i) Riparian corridors of Cooroy Creek, Six Mile Creek and its tributaries;
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 14 of 74
Section 15
(ii) Open space and landscape values of the showgrounds, sports grounds, Apex Park and the golf club;
(iii) Views to Mt Cooroy and the Black Mountain Range;
(iv) Early twentieth century architecture; and
(v) Heritage associations of the North Coast Rail Line.
(d) The protection of water quality within Lake Macdonald and waterways that drain to it is a paramount factor in consideration
of development within the water supply catchment.
(e) Cooroy town centre functions as a district centre providing a wide range of commercial, retail and community activities to
serve the needs of the Cooroy community and Noosa hinterland residents and visitors to the area.
(f) Cooroy provides local employment in the town centre including small to medium scale retail, commercial and community
activities which support surrounding rural enterprises and facilitate artistic, cultural and technologybased business.
(g) Future economic growth continues to consolidate retail, business, community and industrial development and diversifies
employment opportunities in technologybased businesses, artistic and cultural enterprises, health and wellbeing, and
support services to rural enterprises.
(h) The western side of Cooroy town centre is maintained as the traditional town centre and the eastern side has a supporting
role providing smallscale businesses offering convenience goods and services for residents and visitors.
(i) Cooroy town centre remains compact with expansion of retail and commercial functions limited to land included within the
District Centre zone.
(j) Development maintains and reflects the form and scale of development in Cooroy as a modern country town with low
density, low rise buildings that cover a comparatively small area of a site leaving significant areas for landscaping and
private open space.
(k) Development retains and maintains the country town feel, traditional built form, heritage and streetscape character of the
town centre, with Maple and Emerald Streets enhanced as wide, attractive and pedestrianfriendly main streets.
(l) Development in the town centre addresses the street, provides active frontages and complements the traditional
streetscape by exhibiting a scale proportional to the character of the streetscape of which it forms part.
(m) Development provides and maintains small, typically narrow tenancies of single or double storey elevations with
continuous, intimate weather protected footpaths and limited driveway accesses interrupting pedestrian paths.
(n) Detached housing is typically characterised by a mix of detached traditional Queenslanders and modern homes with large
setbacks and mature landscaping.
(o) Attached housing locates close to the town centre and within mixeduse buildings increasing housing choice.
(p) Low to medium density semiattached housing, such as dual occupancies, are interspersed through residential
neighbourhoods where they offer proximity to transport and services.
(q) Relocatable home parks, residential care and retirement facilities provide housing choice allowing ageing residents to
remain within the Noosa Shire hinterland community.
(r) Well designed development for visitor accommodation and tourist attractions are compatible with the landscape and
streetscape character and form and promote and enhances the core values of Cooroy.
(s) A diverse range of community services including the Lower Mill Place Precinct, library, playgrounds, community hall,
schools, medical facilities, sporting and recreational facilities service local residents, the hinterland and beyond.
(t) Development is supported by a network of open space to meet the needs of the local community, including the facilitation of
safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within the local plan area and
particularly across the railway line.
(u) Outdoor recreation and sporting facilities west of the railway line and active recreation facilities and green space on the
eastern side of the railway are retained to meet the needs of is of the community.
(v) Development maintains the traditional grid pattern where possible.
(w) In the town centre where onstreet parking is available, historic laneways are retained and extended where practicable to
allow for vehicular access and parking to the rear of buildings preserving footpaths as places for people rather than
driveways.
(x) Activation of key laneways, including the widening of laneways, is encouraged where pedestrian safety and servicing
functions would not be compromised.

7.2.3 Tewantin Local Plan Code
7.2.3.1 Application
This code applies to assessable development:
(a) within the Tewantin local plan area as shown on Map ZM11 Tewantin contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
(b) identified as requiring assessment against the Tewantin local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of
assessment).
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 24 of 74
Section 25
7.2.3.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
Tewantin
(1) The purpose of the Tewantin local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of development
within the Tewantin local plan area.
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Tewantin local plan area:
(a) Tewantin is a vibrant yet traditional town strongly influenced by its heritage and its riverside setting. Framed by national park
and waterways, its character and identity reflect its location and heritage as a gateway to the Noosa River, the hinterland,
Noosa North Shore and the Great Sandy Region.
(b) Development within the Tewantin local plan area is limited to land within the urban boundary, so as to provide a defined
edge to the town to protect and reinforce the character and identity of Tewantin, provide efficient provision of infrastructure
and services, avoid constrained land and protect the surrounding ecologically important areas.
(c) Development in the local plan area is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas, retain the landscape and
built form elements and significant views and vistas to external elements, that contributes to the setting, character and
identity of Tewantin as a town with a strong sense of place and association with the past. Valued elements include:
(i) the Noosa River, its banks and riparian qualities;
(ii) Wooroi Creek and the adjoining bushland reserve;
(iii) Lake Doonella and the adjoining Doonella Wetlands Nature Refuge;
(iv) Heritage Park Bushland Reserve;
(v) open space and landscape values of the golf club and sports complex;
(vi) landscape and heritage values associated with RSL Memorial Park; and
(vii) views to Mt Tinbeerwah, Mt Cooroy, Tewantin National Park and Noosa North Shore.
(d) The form and scale of development is generally low key with buildings that are low rise and cover a comparatively small
area of the site leaving significant areas for landscaping and private open space.
(e) Tewantin town centre functions as a district activity centre providing a wide range of commercial, retail and community
activities to service and provide for the needs of residents and visitors to the area and local employment.
(f) Tewantin town centre includes mixeduse developments incorporating residential uses within the District Centre zone on
sites fronting Blakesly Street, Doonella Street, Sidoni Street, Pelican street and Diyan Street.
(g) The town centre remains compact and walkable with expansion of retail and commercial functions limited to land included
within the District Centre zone.
(h) The District Centre zone has a core business centre with retail activities focused along Poinciana Avenue.
(i) Development in the District Centre zone provides continuous fine grained shopfronts that address and activate Poinciana
Avenue extended along the western sides of Memorial Avenue and Diyan Street.
(j) Retail uses are avoided in Blakesly Street and Doonella Street as a transition to nearby residential areas.
(k) The traditional built form, heritage and streetscape character of Tewantin town centre is retained and reinforced, with
Poinciana Avenue enhanced as a wide, attractive and pedestrian friendly main street, predominantly free of through traffic.
(l) The shared zone at the intersection of Poinciana Street and Memorial Avenue/Diyan Street is retained as a key character
feature of Tewantin town centre.
(m) Despite its function as a gateway and service centre for visitors to the Noosa North Shore, upper reaches of the Noosa
River, Noosa Hinterland and popular coastal destinations, Tewantin is home to a permanent resident population without
substantial shortterm accommodation.
(n) Residential development maintains good access to activity centres, community facilities, sport and recreation facilities and
open space.
(o) Development in the Low Density Housing zone accommodates permanent residents in detached houses and homebased
businesses.
(p) The Low density residential zone maintains residential neighbourhoods of varying character due to lot size, established
vegetated character, age of development and open space elements.
(q) Development in the Medium Density zones accommodates a diversity in housing types for permanent residents including
dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and relocatable home parks.
(r) The Recreation and Open Space zone at Moorindil Street and CooroyNoosa Road is preserved for tourist parks and
provides low cost accommodation for visitors.
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 25 of 74
Section 26
(s) Noosa Marina is retained in the Recreation and Open Space zone as the primary riverbased economic and transport node
in the Tewantin local plan area. Development is limited to uses that relate to marine activities, including river ferry services,
complemented by a limited number of shops, cafés, and restaurants. Residential uses are not intended at the Noosa
Marina. The business operating from a commercial jetty lease area in Cardell Road, Tewantin provides watercraft for hire.
(t) Land committed or planned for community purposes is protected and managed in the Community Facilities zone to enable
the efficient and timely delivery of community services which meet many of the administrative, health, education, social and
safety needs of the local community.
(u) Development is supported by a network of open space and pathway connections to meet the needs of the local community
and facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within the local
plan area.
(v) Development improves local connectivity by providing pedestrian and cycle connections to and between key local
destinations such as the activity centres, community and sports facilities, Tewantin State School, along the Noosa River and
Lake Doonella water frontages and towards Noosaville State School, Noosa Hospital and Wallace Estate located outside
the local plan area.

Section 36
7.2.4.1 Application
This code applies to assessable development:
(a) within the Noosaville local plan area as shown on Map ZM12 Noosaville contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
(b) identified as requiring assessment against the Noosaville local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of
assessment)..
7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
Noosaville
(1) The purpose of the Noosaville local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
development within the Noosaville local plan area.
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosaville local plan area:
(a) The Noosaville local plan area is a vibrant urban setting defined by watercourses and bushland edges including the Noosa
River, Eenie Creek, Lake Weyba, Noosa National Park and Tewantin National Park.
(b) Development within the Noosaville local plan area is limited to land within the urban boundary so as to protect and reinforce
the character and identity of Noosaville, provide for the efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained
land and protect the surrounding significant environmental areas.
(c) Development in the local plan area is sited and designed to retain the key natural environment, landscape and built form
elements, including significant views and vistas to external elements that contribute to the setting, character and identity of
the Noosaville local plan area including:
(i) the Noosa River, its foreshore parkland and riparian qualities;
(ii) native vegetation, particularly adjoining watercourses;
(iii) Keyser Island and Weyba Creek Conservation Parks;
(iv) Lake Doonella;
(v) Weyba Creek;
(vi) Wallace Park;
(vii) Lake Doonella Bushland Reserve;
(viii) Noosa National Park, Noosa Headlands, the secondary dune system, Lake Weyba and Noosa North Shore.
(d) Development recognises and reinforces the waterfront location and character of the local plan area by providing high
quality, low rise, subtropical buildings and landscape design that promote the casual, outdoor lifestyle. Buildings have a
strong relationship with the outdoors through the incorporation of natural materials, verandahs and glazing.
(e) Development design and siting responds to the relatively flat topography of Noosaville by creating visual interest and
differentiation in built form through design and the application of:
(i) a range of textures, colours, styles and finishes;
(ii) a range of architectural elements within the context of a subtropical architectural theme;
(iii) varied roof heights, that cumulatively make a positive contribution to an interesting skyline;
(iv) varied setbacks which create opportunities for both landscaping and design variety; and
(v) retention of mature trees and the provision of new landscaping which create attractive spaces between
buildings.
(f) The Noosaville local plan area maintains its roles for both the provision of much of the commercial, retail, administrative,
industrial and social needs of the coastal urban portion of Noosa Shire and as a major focus area for visitor
accommodation and services.
(g) The Noosa Business Centre off Eenie Creek Road is a Major regional activity centre identified in the South East
Queensland Regional Plan 2017 providing a wide range of centre activities to meet the local needs of communities across
Noosa Shire, acknowledging that the Principal regional activity centre at Maroochydore provides the highest order and a
greater range of goods and services.
(h) The Noosa Business Centre is the major focus for major employment generating development and growth in Noosa Shire,
particularly in the sectors of education, health and wellness, digital economy, environmental industries and professional
services. Development at the Noosa Business Centre occurs in a staged manner following the construction of the internal
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 36 of 74
Section 37
circulation road system, creation of an open aired activated village green space for significant community gatherings and
the provision of land for a subregional transit centre that has the potential to function as an integrated public transport
node, with pedestrian and bicycle paths linking with nearby urban areas. The further development of the transit facility will
be subject to further investigation and planning with the State Government;
(i) In the vicinity of Gibson Road and Mary Street, the District centre zone provides a range of business, entertainment and
community activities to service the needs of residents and visitors in a form and scale that does not detract from the role
and function of the Noosa Business Centre.
(j) Development in the District centre zone provides improved streetscape and landscape treatments, active street frontages
and improved public spaces and residential development above street level.
(k) Development at the edges of the District centre zone is less intensive with a lifestyle or health and wellbeing focus,
providing a transition to adjoining residential areas. These transitional uses also include offices which do not generate
large volumes of traffic or early morning / late evening noise.
(l) Residential development in the District Centre zone occurs in the form of small dwellings in conjunction with a non
residential use.
(m) Development in the Neighbourhood centre zone is a focal point for surrounding residential neighbourhoods and provides
lower order goods and services to support the daytoday needs of residents and visitors.
(n) Health and medical facilities develop in the Noosa Business Centre, the Community Facilities zone in Goodchap Street and
the Mary – Thomas Street Health and Wellbeing Precinct.
(o) Development in the Low impact industry zone and the Medium impact industry zone accommodates a broad range of
industry and business uses, avoiding negative impacts on the amenity of nearby residential areas.
(p) Activities in industry zones provide important services and products to the community and provide a range of employment
types.
(q) Development fronting EumundiNoosa Road, Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive provides high quality buildings,
landscaping and integrated signage that improves the visual appearance of these roads as entrances to Noosaville.
(r) Development in the Low Density Housing zone primarily accommodates permanent residents in detached dwelling
houses.
(s) Development in the Medium Density and High Density Housing zones accommodates a greater diversity in housing types
including dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential care facilities.
(t) Development ensures permanent residents of Noosaville enjoy high levels of residential amenity and accessibility to urban
services and recreational opportunities.
(u) Retirement living is established in Lake Weyba Drive and Walter Hay Drive (north).
(v) Development for home based businesses including bed and breakfast accommodation may locate in residential zones.
(w) New residential development in or adjacent to activity centres includes a high proportion of small dwellings.
(x) Development in the Community facilities zone provides facilities and services that support the Noosaville community as
well as the broader Shire, including Noosa Hospital, educational facilities, library, airport and other local services.
(y) Development in the Tourist accommodation zone is for visitor accommodation and associated uses that serve visitors to
preserve and support the role of Noosaville as a tourism focus area.
(z) Development in the Tourist Accommodation zone reinforces Gympie Terrace as the primary tourism focus for Noosaville
with vibrant and pedestrian friendly active street frontages providing a range of smallscale boutique retail and outdoor
dining experiences amongst visitor accommodation.
(aa) Development in the Tourist Accommodation zone on Gympie Terrace provides a range of welldesigned entertainment and
catering activities which may operate late at night and include live music which creates a vibrant atmosphere.
(ab) Strong visual and pedestrian linkages to the Noosa River foreshore and surrounding areas are protected.
(ac) Noosa River foreshore adjacent to Gympie Terrace is retained as an important recreational space for the local community
and visitors. Development or operational works maintains it as an idyllic place for passive recreation, walking, dog exercise
and access to the Noosa River including ferry stops.
(ad) Existing businesses on Noosa River foreshore operate only from commercial jetty lease areas providing watercraft for hire,
tour services and limited ancillary offerings to the community. Slipway services are maintained within the life of any current
lease.
(ae) Development is supported by a network of open space and pathway connections to meet the needs of the local community
and facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between key destinations within the local plan area.
Noosa River foreshore is maintained as an important pedestrian, cycle and open space link from Lake Doonella to Munna
Point.
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 37 of 74
Section 38
(af) Development supports and prioritises public transport, including the river ferry and buses and use of motor scooters and
bicycles.
(ag) The watercourses bounding Noosaville strongly influence the location of road systems, with entrance points from Tewantin
and Noosa Heads being limited to a few key locations where roads are flanked by vegetation with glimpses to the
watercourses. Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive provide scenic entrances to Noosaville through bushland settings.
Development does not compromise the scenic opportunities afforded by these roads and entrance points.
(ah) Key areas of vegetation on both private and public lands are protected for landscape and habitat values.

7.2.5 Noosa Heads Local Plan Code
7.2.5.1 Application
This code applies to assessable development:
(a) within the Noosa Heads local plan area as shown on Map ZM13 Noosa Heads contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
(b) identified as requiring assessment against the Noosa Heads local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of
assessment).
7.2.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
Noosa Heads
(1) The purpose of the Noosa Heads local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
development within the Noosa Heads local plan area.
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosa Heads local plan area:
(a) The Noosa Heads local plan area provides a diverse coastal urban area with a strong focus on tourism, and a unique
character and identity framed by a vegetated backdrop to the built environment, the coast, watercourses and the iconic
Noosa National Park.
(b) Development is limited to land within the urban boundary to protect and reinforce the character and identity of Noosa Heads,
provide efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained land and protect the surrounding significant
environmental areas.
(c) The natural landform and landscape i s retained with Noosa Hill being the predominant landscape feature forming a
skyline and vegetated backdrop, without the intrusion of built form, when viewed from beaches, parks and other public
spaces, residential neighbourhoods and visitor accommodation. In order to protect these important visual qualities the
preservation of existing vegetation is critical. Accordingly, in areas of high elevation and visibility development is restricted
wherever possible and if necessary excluded to ensure the existing character is maintained.
(d) Development is sited and designed to retain the key natural environment, landscape and built form elements and
significant views and vistas that contribute to the vegetated setting and character of the Noosa Heads local plan area,
including:
(i) Noosa Main Beach, Little Cove and more secluded beaches of the Noosa National Park;
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 48 of 74
Section 49
(ii) Noosa River, Weyba Creek, foreshore areas and associated riparian communities;
(iii) Noosa Spit, Noosa Woods, Weyba Creek Bushland Reserve, foreshore parkland including the Lions Park and
Weyba Park;
(iv) Noosa Headland and the vegetated hillslopes that frame Noosa Heads, Laguna Bay, Noosa Inlet and Hastings
Street;
(v) heathland areas of Noosa National Park and Girraween Estate; and
(vi) vegetated drainage lines through residential estates and private land with native vegetation stands.
(e) Development, through its design and siting, reinforces the correlation between the natural and built character of the area by
development sitting lightly in the landscape, being responsive to the topography and protecting views to or from important
landscape features.
(f) Building heights, scale and proportions are subservient to the landscape, including street vegetation in Hastings Street.
(g) Noosa Spit and Noosa Woods remain low key passive recreation areas.
(h) Development is of a high design quality, incorporating low rise contemporary subtropical building and landscape design
that emphasises the casual, outdoor lifestyle.
(i) Buildings have a strong relationship with the outdoors through the incorporation of natural materials, verandahs and glazing
and orientation of openings towards public spaces where practicable.
(j) Noosa Junction functions as a major activity centre providing a range of goods and services for residents and visitors in a
predominantly multitenancy ‘main street’ form with a strong relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The
redevelopment of the former Bowls site provides for a new road connection from Noosa Drive through to Lanyana Way as
well as an activated public open space area.
(k) Development maintains:
(i) a high proportion of Noosa lifestyle and creative destination businesses with few national chains and generically
themed outlets;
(ii) a small number of large floor plate retail tenancies and businesses; and
(iii) within the predominantly retail and food establishment land use mix, community support uses and medical and
health services.
(l) The neighbourhood centre at Quamby Place provides basic convenience good and services for nearby residents and
visitors and includes restaurants with river and parkland outlooks.
(m) Development in the Hastings Street Mixed use precinct and the Noosa Junction Hospitality precinct provides a range of
welldesigned business and entertainment activities including live music and other artistic performances which creates a
vibrant atmosphere. High design quality, incorporating low rise contemporary subtropical building and landscape design
incorporates appropriate acoustic containment to facilitate late night operation.
(n) Development in the Low Density Housing zone primarily accommodates permanent residents in detached dwelling
houses.
(o) Development in the Medium Density and High Density Housing zones accommodates a greater diversity in housing types
including dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential care facilities.
(p) Residents of Noosa Heads enjoy high levels of residential amenity and convenience to urban services and recreational
opportunities.
(q) Housing specific to the needs of students and hospitality workers is provided in or within proximity of Noosa Junction.
(r) Housing choice is increased through the incorporation of small dwellings within a mixed use format in activity centres.
(s) Development for home based businesses including bed and breakfast accommodation may locate in residential zones.
(t) Noosa Heads is the principal focus for visitor accommodation and services in Noosa Shire as demonstrated by:
(i) Hastings Street serving as a major visitor centre; and
(ii) Resorts located at Morwong Drive, Noosa Drive, Quamby Place, Serenity Close, Sanctuary Drive, Little Cove, Noosa
Hill, Noosa Springs and Noosa Sound.
(u) Development in the Tourist accommodation zone is for visitor accommodation and associated uses that serve visitors
concentrated in areas close to Hastings Street and Noosa River and in designated resorts.
(v) Hastings Street maintains its character as a vibrant, contemporary and pedestrianfriendly centre for visitors and locals.
(w) A variety of highend visitor accommodation, retailing and dining uses incorporate indoor/outdoor spaces creating active
frontages from early morning to late evening.

7.2.6 Coastal Communities Local Plan Code
7.2.6.1 Application
This code applies to assessable development
(a) within the Coastal Communities local plan area as shown on Map ZM14 Coastal Communities contained within Schedule 2
(Mapping); and
(b) identified as requiring assessment against the Coastal Communities local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5
(Tables of Assessment).
7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
Coastal Communities
(1) The purpose of the Coastal Communities local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
development within the Coastal Communities local plan area.
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 62 of 74
Section 63
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Coastal Communities local plan area:
(a) The Coastal Communities local plan area is an established coastal urban area comprising five small communities,
namely Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Castaways Beach, Marcus Beach, and Peregian Beach, each with a separate
character and identity. Development within each community is consistent with the defined identity of that community.
(b) Development is limited to land within the urban boundary providing a defined edge to protect and reinforce the discrete
character of each community, provide efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained land and retain the
integrity and health of the natural and coastal landscape.
(c) Development is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas, retain landscape and built form elements,
including significant views and vistas to external elements, the setting, character and identity of each community. Valued
elements include:
(i) Noosa National Park and other local environmental parks;
(ii) the beaches, waterways, foreshore parkland and coastal dune reserves;
(iii) the high dune system which helps define the individual communities through ridges and valleys;
(iv) Lake Weyba and associated coastal wetlands which form an integral part of natural landscape and vistas to the
west; and
(v) Views to Mt Coolum, Emu Mountain, Mt Ninderry, Mt Cooroy and Mt Tinbeerwah.
(d) Development is consistent with, and does not compromise, the close association between the coastal communities and
the beach, the backdrop of protected natural vegetation, which is a key amenity feature in the local plan area, and the
beachside living in secluded surrounds.
(e) Development does not impact on or compromise:
(i) the complex high and frequently steep linear dune systems creating protected valleys and exposed ridges leading to
the ocean or wetlands on the shores of Lake Weyba; or
(ii) the drainage lines (being Burgess, Castaways, Marcus and Peregian Creeks and their tributaries) that form deep
depressions between the dunes and define the boundaries between the communities of the local plan area.
(f) Development recognises and reflects the sensitivity of the coastal environment including the high dune system, and is sited
and designed to:
(i) protect ecologically important areas and ecological processes;
(ii) retain the key landscape elements that contribute to the ecosystem health; and
(iii) ensure development is well separated from these dune and waterway systems.
(g) Development recognises the importance of the vegetated backdrop and does not compromise the role of the dune and
waterway systems in defining landforms between the communities.
(h) Development recognises and reinforces the close relationship between the natural character of the area and its
attractiveness to residents and visitors. In this context, development is subservient to the natural landscape, sits lightly
within the landscape, sensitively responds to the topography of the area and provides densely landscaped settings, with
existing mature trees and vegetation retained wherever possible.
(i) Development protects vegetated views from David Low Way and the beach by restricting the extent of clearing for structures,
services and access, limiting the vertical and horizontal scale of development and incorporating existing and new vegetation
that frames or filters views.
(j) Activity centres at Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach and Peregian Beach provide for the convenience needs of residents and
visitors within the local community.
(k) Whilst opportunities exist for the expansion or enhancement of business functions in both Sunrise Beach Neighbourhood
Centre and Peregian Beach Local Centre, residents continue to rely on larger centres in Noosa Heads and Noosaville
and/or centres outside Noosa Shire to fulfil their higher order business, community and industry needs.
(l) Development in the Local centre zone at Peregian Beach retains and enhances the built form and streetscape character of
the centre and promotes activity and vitality through the provision of active street frontages and strong pedestrian
connections between private development and adjacent public spaces.
(m) Sites identified for tourist accommodation are retained and developed for that use to maintain a diversity and choice of
visitor accommodation and affordability in the local plan area. .
(n) Development in the Low Density Housing zone primarily accommodates permanent residents in detached houses.
(o) Development in the Medium Density Housing zones accommodates a greater diversity in housing types including dual
occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential care facilities.
(p) Development for home based businesses including bed and breakfast accommodation may locate in residential zones.
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 63 of 74
Section 64
(q) Development in the local plan area is supported by an extensive network of open space and passive recreation
opportunities offered by the foreshore parks, reserves and Noosa National Parks. A buffer between urban development and
Noosa National Park facilitates regular fire fuel reduction burning.
(r) Girraween Estate in the north west of the local plan area provides a range of regional recreational and community facilities
including sporting ovals, schools, aquatic centre, churches and indoor sports and recreation for the local plan area. These
facilities serve much of the Noosa coastal urban area.
(s) Surf club facilities located at Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach are retained and continue to provide organised sporting,
recreational, patrolled beach/lifesaving, entertainment and community support to the local plan area. Redevelopment or
additional development at either site does not extend further seaward, is consistent with the respective primary patrolled
beach/lifesaving function of the club, and does not compromise its respective landscape and ecological setting nor its
future resilience to the impacts of coastal erosion and long term beach recession.
(t) The local plan area enjoys moderate to high levels of accessibility to Coolum in the South and Noosa Heads in the north.
Eenie Creek Road provides high accessibility for the northern part of the local plan area to Noosaville and Tewantin. These
accessibility levels are to be maintained and traffic generation of any individual development, or cumulative generation, and
impacts, do not compromise these levels of accessibility.
(u) Development facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within
the local plan area. Access to the foredune and beachfront area is provided via formalised communal access points
designed to protect dune systems and not individual private accesses.
(v) Development in Sunshine Beach –
(i) provides housing, multiunit accommodation and small scale retail, commercial and dining uses in a secluded
vegetated, beachside setting.
(ii) has a comparatively high proportion of multiunit accommodation for both visitors and residents;
(iii) for visitor accommodation is managed appropriately so as not to reduce the amenity of the surrounding permanent
residents and to retain and adequate supply of permanent housing in the local plan area;
(iv) in the Tourist accommodation zone provides welldesigned entertainment and dining activities which may operate
after hours and include controlled live acoustic and amplified music and entertainment, to create a vibrant
atmosphere.
(v) adjacent to beach areas does not visually compromise the setting of the public beach, nor adversely affect views for
the beach.
(w) Development in Sunrise Beach –
(i) provides a high proportion of detached houses and some multiunit accommodation for permanent residents
including families.
(ii) provides a mix of commercial and community uses including convenience shopping, schools, other community
facilities located in Ben Lexcen Drive serving the convenience needs of residents;
(iii) ensures higher order services locate in the local centre of Peregian Beach, or the district centres of Noosa Junction
and Noosaville.
(x) Development in Castaways Beach –
(i) provides predominantly detached housing for permanent residents.
(ii) contains no commercial or retail uses– a feature recognised as being an important element of local character.
(y) Development in Marcus Beach –
(i) provides housing, predominantly for permanent residents, in a secluded vegetated setting.
(ii) maintains and accentuates its low density beachside character by retaining mature vegetation, and curvilinear
streets enclosed by undulating topography and the adjoining dune system.
(iii) maintains the established beachside character which is integrated with the low dunes and their vegetation, framed
and enclosed by the high dune system which forms the only substantial break in the linear pattern of development
between Sunshine Beach to the north and Peregian Beach to the south.
(iv) contains no commercial or retail uses – a feature recognised as being an important element of local character.
(z) Development in Peregian Beach –
(i) provides local convenience shopping, business and employment services, for both permanent residents and
visitors.
(ii) provides multiunit accommodation located in close proximity to the Peregian Beach Local Centre.
NOOSA PLAN 2020 Page 64 of 74
Section 65
(iii) maintains Peregian Beach Local Centre’s ‘signature’ informal villagelike atmosphere, featuring a low key, attractive
village square that distinguishes the Peregian Beach Local Centre from other centres in the local plan area and the
wider region. Development and redevelopment maintains the existing strong sense of place and the centre’s
function and capacity to provide a public focus for local community interaction and activity.
(iv) provides a slightly wider range of employment opportunities than other parts of the local plan area due to its more
distant separation from a major urban centre.
(v) in the Innovation zone includes the digital hub and other professional services for local businesses both within and
outside the local plan area as well as providing employment opportunities in the digital and creative technology
sectors.
(vi) in the Medium residential zone on the western side of David Low Way provides for mixed use residential with office or
health services in buildings of a domestic scale.
(vii) in the Local Centre Zone provides for welldesigned entertainment and dining activities which may operate after
hours and include controlled live acoustic and amplified music and entertainment which creates a vibrant
atmosphere.
(viii) maintains the operational efficiency of the Sunshine Coast Airport and enhances the safely of aircraft operating within
the airports operational airspace.
Note operational airspace includes the areas and vertical dimensions of an airports obstacle limitation surface (OLS).
