As per Section 11.3.3 (Part 11 – Noosaville Locality Plan) of the planning scheme, ‘for impact
assessable development, the development is assessed against the whole planning scheme.’

The following assessment against the relevant Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs),
demonstrates that the proposed development does not undermine the main aims or intent
of the planning scheme.

4.3.1      DESIRED ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES
The DEOs are statements of broad policy at a shire-wide level, and form the foundation from
which other provisions of the Noosa Plan are developed. Part 3 of the planning scheme
contains 12 DEOs, each relating to a specific policy.

The Commercial & Retail Uses DEO is considered to be of most relevance to the proposed
development. The proposal has been assessed against the relevant item (viii) of the
Commercial & Retail Uses DEO, which reads:

“A hierarchy of centres with a range of Commercial and Retail business uses provide suitable
levels of amenity, service and access to the community, consistent with the community’s
location and needs and is based on—

   viii.     Uses that comprise a large component of Commercial and Retail business uses or
             other non-industrial uses are not located on land that is otherwise intended for
             Industrial business uses;…”

Comment: The foundation of this DEO is the hierarchy of centres which identifies a tiered
network of centres, each with a described function and preferred scales and types of retail
and commercial uses. The centres within the hierarchy are identified on the Planning
Scheme Strategy Map and range from the Shire Business Centre at Noosaville through to
small village centres. Given that the development includes ‘retail’ & ‘commercial’ elements
