            x     retains development capacity within the Shire Business Centre in the longer
                  term to take advantage of potential new employment opportunities
            xi    is developed into precincts, as depicted on Schedule 4 - Shire Business
                  Centre Map, which include a dynamic mix of development with an
                  appropriate integration of uses within each, including—
                  A) Business Precincts (B1-B2), which provide for the highest order of retail
                  development in Noosa and comprises the retail core of the Shire Business
                  Centre site, with associated car parking generally located with Precinct B2;
                  B) Precinct B3, which provides for showroom and office development;
                  C) Employment Precincts (E1-E7) for future employment growth, which
                  include 3 precincts (E1, E2, E3) with preferred themes to allow these
                  precincts to take advantage of new employment opportunities;
                  D) a civic area located within Precinct E1, which provides for a range of civic
                  uses and functions;
                  E) an inter-regional transit facility in Precinct E6;
                  F) a Residential Precinct (RES), which provides residential support
                  accommodation to the other key precincts; and
                  G) a Minor Recreation/Minor Mixed Use/Open Space Precinct (REC/MU),
                  developed for the purposes of a minor recreation use or minor mixed-use
                  development;
Outcome 104 of the Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Shire Business Centre
Zone states:
Subsequent development stages provide for the—
            a) completion of the access intersections leading into the Shire Business Centre
            site;
            b) completion of further stages of the internal loop road;
            c) completion of further stages of development within the precincts;
            d) completion of the pedestrian and bikeway network;
            e) construction of the link road to the Noosaville Industrial Estate;
            f) construction of a inter-regional transit facility (public transport node);
            g) completion of the stormwater management systems;
            h) completion of landscaping design elements; and
            i) further dedication of land to public open space


The proposed layout does not include details of how an inter-regional transit hub and civic
centre are to be accommodated.
The size of Lots 4 – 19 are generally consistent with each other and offer limited variation. It
is unclear how the proposal will deliver diverse/or flexible land use outcomes and therefore
employment options for the site and for Noosa Shire generally, it is likely that subsequent
development on these lots will result in a uniform layout. It is preferable that lot sizes contain
variation to accommodate a range of wide range of development form.
