The following table gives an indication of the extent of the conflict raised by the development’s
component uses with the zonings of the land on which they’re proposed:

                                                                         Commercial)

The table indicates the proposal involves a mix of consistent and inconsistent uses within the
site’s split business and community zonings.

Overall, the new outward-facing strip retail shopping extension to the Noosa Fair shopping
complex is consistent with the planning scheme expectations and the developed pattern of the
Business Centre zone.

In regard to the Community Services zoned land, the Noosa Heads Locality Code seeks the
following overall outcomes for the zone:

9.8.2 (t) For the Community Services Zone—land for Community Uses and Infrastructure Uses—

        i)     is protected and managed to enable the efficient and timely delivery of such uses;

        ii)    provides for the infrastructure, indoor recreation, education, social and safety
               needs of the local community, including people with special needs, such as the
               elderly, children, low-income earners and disabled persons; and

        iii)   includes housing and short term accommodation for people with special needs
               such as the elderly and budget travellers;

The development proposal is clearly a major departure from the planning scheme expectations
for the Community Services zone, as the application effectively seeks to have the Bowls Club site
considered as an extension to the Business Centre zone.
The applicant acknowledges the conflict with the zoning and the requirement under section 326
of the Sustainable Planning Act for it to demonstrate sufficient grounds to overcome the conflict
with the planning scheme. To this end, it submits the following grounds in favour of the
development:
