     single full-size discount department store and a full line supermarket. Complementary retail uses
     include large format retail showrooms and a separate small format supermarket. Noosa
     Junction complements the Noosa Business Centre with specialty retail stores, supermarkets
     and a variety of entertainment uses such as restaurants, bars, cafes and cinema, catering to
     the local community and visitors.
     (h) Major centres develop as hubs for medical and specialised educational services.
Noosa Junction
(5) The following overall outcomes apply to Noosa Junction and are additional to the overall
outcomes of the Major centre zone:
     (a) Noosa Junction retains its traditional main street focus with a strong core of businesses
     fronting Sunshine Beach Road, Lanyana Way and Arcadia Street.


Comment: The proposed pilates studio is consistent with the nature, scale and type of uses
envisaged in the location. The development does not pose any significant adverse effects in regard
to biodiversity, landscape quality, water quality, or amenity enjoyed by users of surrounding
premises. The proposed development is compatible with the existing surrounding uses.

The proposed development consists of the reuse of an existing retail shop (Shop and Salon use) and
no expansion of the building is proposed. No external works are proposed to the built form and
therefore the use will not affect the visual amenity of the area and will retain the existing character
of the area.
