     Comment
       The proposed development is a reuse of an existing building in a retail and entertainment business
       complex. The proposed development is generally in accordance with each of the above codes. Where
       specific outcomes are not met, a detailed assessment of impacts has been provided below, including
       sufficient planning grounds to justify the conflicts with the specific outcomes.

       Whilst it is acknowledged that the Natural Hazards overlays affect the subject site, it is important to
       note that the ability of the proposed development to be established over the subject site is not
       significantly impacted by the presence of the overlays identified across the site.

     Noosa Heads Locality Code
       The subject land is located in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone within the Noosa Heads Locality of the Noosa
       Plan 2017. The purpose and overall outcomes of this zone relevant to this application include:

       “…m) Hastings Street accommodates a high proportion of entertainment and dining premises providing
       interest for visitors;

       …dd) Hastings Street’s character of low rise buildings, vibrant pedestrian friendly streetscape, mix of
       indoor and outdoor activities, diverse dining opportunities, specialty Retail businesses and pedestrian
       links to Main Beach is maintained;

       …ee) Hastings Street and Noosa Junction contain a range of entertainment and dining businesses and
       venues that operate into the evenings and include live music which creates a vibrant atmosphere

       …qq) For the Visitor Mixed Use Zone—development—

       …i. comprises small business outlets with individual character

       …iii. respects the scale and character of the streetscape and surrounding development;

       …v. incorporates Entertainment and dining businesses, Retail businesses and Commercial businesses
       that are of particular interest to visitors; and

       …vi. contributes to the economy of Noosa through the tourism and hospitality sectors; and integrates

       The proposed development, is compatible with the existing nature and character of Hastings Street and
       provides an entertainment use for children aged 6 - 14 years as a complementary activity within the
       existing shopping complex on Hastings Street of a type that is not currently present in the area.
