consideration leading to the current zoning of the site,
30ha. to the east of the site was dedicated for National
Park purposes; thus almost 60% of the original site
area is to be set aside for conservation purposes. As
well as this, within the East Visitor Precinct and the

5 West Visitor Precinct, development is being located so

North Shore DCP

The North Shore DCP was gazetted on 9 June 1995 and provides both policy
and regulatory provisions specific to the North Shore area. Section 4.2.4
applies to the subject site, and identifies appropriate land uses, population
densities and other development provisions for the site. The site is referred to
as “Lot 3 on RP138773” within the North Shore DCP and the locality intent is
for “visitor accommodation and services” (Section 4.2.4, page 9). As indicated in
Section 3.6.1, the role of the visitor accommodation and services node is
twofold:
* to focus the pressures that occur with such a node into a single location
that is best-suited for the purpose and where impacts can be managed;
* to acknowledge that there is a need to provide facilities to service the
residents of and visitors to the Noosa North Shore.
