               (iii)       Views to Mt Cooroora, Mt Cooran, Mt Pinbarren and ranges of Woondum National Park;
               (iv)        Early twentieth century architecture; and
               (v)         Heritage associations of the North Coast Rail Line.

        (e)    Development retains and enhances:
               (i)         the small scale rural or lakeside character and built form elements;
               (ii)        the inherent agricultural, cultural, heritage and natural environmental values; and
               (iii)       surrounding landscapes and scenic amenity.

        (f)    Development maintains the rural amenity, lifestyle and level of accessibility enjoyed by residents and visitors of the villages.
        (g)    Development is consistent with the traditional built form of low rise and low density buidings comprising timber and tin,
               raised on stumps with suspended floors, with significant space for landscaping.
        (h)    Retail and commercial business uses provide for the immediate needs of local residents and visitors and, in conjunction
               with home­based and industrial business enterprises, provide employment consistent with the scale, character and identity
               of the village.
        (i)    Well designed, locally appropriate accommodation and other tourist attractions are compatible with and enhance the
               landscape character, heritage and environmental values of the community and maintain the peaceful, small town heritage,
               rural produce and outdoor recreation.
        (j)    Development retains strong historical connections to the respective community by:
               (i)         limiting the extent of demolition and adaptively reusing early to mid­twentieth century buildings;
               (ii)        complementing heritage character through the use of traditional building forms and materials, such as timber and
                           tin, that do not overwhelm the existing fabric of buildings on site, adjoining sites, or within the streetscape; and
               (iii)       appropriate design elements including vertical and horizontal articulation and suspended floor construction,
                           responding to the landform and in keeping with the Queensland vernacular.

        (k)    Development is supported by an open space network to meet the outdoor recreation needs of the local community and
               facilitate safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections within each village.
        (l)    Development is designed and sited to be protect people and property from the impacts of flooding.

 Pomona
         (m)      For Development in Pomona:
                  (i)      Pomona remains a small country town with a distinct heritage character and identity.
                  (ii)     Pomona maintains its role as a local centre offering a range of convenience goods and services to support a
                           growing rural and village community. Some expansion of local business, residential and rural residential areas is
                           provided for.
                  (iii)    Business uses in Pomona expand in a form and extent that maintains a compact town centre with growth occurring
                           only within the Local centre zone. Residents of Pomona rely on larger centres such as Cooroy and Tewantin to meet
                           higher order needs.
                  (iv)     Development preserves, and is sympathetic to, buildings that contribute to the character of the village, the landscape
                           setting and the attractive entry points to the village including the scenic amenity of Hill Street and Reserve Street.
                  (v)      The low scale heritage character and key local architectural elements are retained and enhanced including the Art
                           Deco shopfronts along Memorial Avenue and Federation style influences.
                  (vi)     Reserve Street, Memorial Avenue and Station Street are enhanced as attractive and pedestrian friendly main streets
                           with active frontages and on­street parking to minimise vehicular driveways interrupting the footpath.
                  (vii)    Important local landmark and heritage character buildings and places, including the Majestic Theatre, Noosa
                           Museum, the Post Office, the Police Station, the former Noosa Shire Council Chambers, the School of Arts Hall and
                           Pomona Hotel are retained and the scale, orientation and design of adjoining development is sympathetic to the
                           existing arrangement of buildings and landscape setting.
                  (viii)   Development respects the distinct role of the traditional town centre to the west of the railway line and the
                           complementary role of business and community functions to the east of the railway line, including small scale
                           commercial services and low impact industrial uses.
                  (ix)     The Low impact industry zone provides a range of lot sizes that cater for low impact industrial uses set within an
