Section 2.6.2 - Strategic Framework
       1.7.1 The majority of urban residential, business, community, industrial and
       recreational development is consolidated in the southern coastal part of Noosa Shire
       within the localities of Eastern Beaches, Noosa Heads, Noosaville and Tewantin.
       These localities account for roughly three quarters of Noosa’s resident population and
       are the ones most affected by visitor influx in peak periods…
       1.7.4 The Noosa Shire community respects and appreciates its environment and has
       goals of environmental excellence, quality lifestyle and economic well-being. As a
       consequence the Noosa community seeks—
       a) built environments which fit into and do not dominate the natural environment; and
        b) confidence that population growth and associated change does not adversely
       impact upon the character, lifestyle and environment enjoyed by its residents.
       1.7.5 Land capability and infrastructure assessments for Noosa result in this planning
       scheme providing for a sustainable resident population carrying capacity of around
       62,031 people. Visitor accommodation will swell this figure to around 67,275 people
       during holiday periods.
