4.1.1 The Noosa Plan 2020
The relevant Purpose and Overall Outcomes of the Noosa Heads Locality Code pertaining to retail
uses in the Hastings Street Precinct is outlined below:
    •    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,
    •    Development is of a high design quality, incorporating low rise contemporary sub-tropical building and
         landscape design that emphasises the casual, outdoor lifestyle.
    •    A variety of high-end visitor accommodation, retailing and dining uses incorporate indoor/outdoor spaces
         creating active frontages from early morning to late evening.


The proposed retail surf shop is less than 200m2 in area (155m2) and does not overdevelop the site
for a large-scale retail business. The surf shop provides iconic surf clothing and accessories to
residents and visitors while providing for the owner’s caretaker’s residence above.
The proposal improves the visual impact on this important location identified on the Hastings Street
Precinct Map as a ‘Gateway’, ‘Primary Active Streetfront’, ‘Key Pedestrian Area’ and ‘Key Corner’,
as shown below.
