Communities Local Plan area.

Within the Noosa Plan 2020, Table 5.5.8 Categories of Development and Assessment –
Neighbourhood Centre Zone prescribes that the proposed expansion of the current Shop use is
subject to Code Assessment.

7.4 Applicable Development Codes

The following Development Codes are relevant to the proposed development:

       • Coastal Communities Local Plan Code;

       • Neighbourhood Centre Zone Code,

       • Business Activities Code, and

       • Works Codes (Driveways and Parking Code).

Where probable solutions are not met, an alternative solution demonstrating compliance with the
specific outcome is provided below, including sufficient planning grounds to justify the conflicts with
the probable solutions.

Coastal Communities Local Plan Code
The proposed butchers (Shop ) has been assessed against, and is consistent with, the Purpose and
Overall Outcomes, and the relevant Performance and Acceptable Outcomes prescribed within the
Coastal Communities Local Plan Code.

The proposed Shop is a business activity which services the needs of residents and visitors in a form
and scale that does not detract from the role and function of the complex. The Shop use represents
a less intensive use in the midst of surrounding community facilities and provides a transition to
adjoining residential areas.
