planning report

responds to the site constraints and meets the relevant development and works codes. This report
includes a number of grounds supporting the proposed development, including:

   -   The proposed development is compatible with surrounding Business Centre zone land use
       pattern;

   -   The redeveloped mixed-use centre forms a focal point for the local community and visitors,
       providing shops, offices and limited higher order services to support the day-to-day needs of
       residents and visitors;

   -   The mixed-use centre offers local employment opportunities, encourages equitable access
       to services and is of a scale and character consistent with the locality and Noosa’s retail
       hierarchy;

   -   The design forms a focal point to define the corner site intersection with carparking not
       visually dominating the streetscape; and

   -   The proposed buildings present a high-quality streetscape integrating in with the established
       pattern and scale of the Cooroy locality.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended.
