         The purpose of the Medium density residential zones is to provide for:-
         medium density multiple dwellings; and
        (a) community uses, and small-scale services, facilities and infrastructure, to support
            local residents.
         The overall outcomes sought for the Medium density residential zone are as
         follows:-

        (a) Medium density residential neighbourhoods are predominantly home to
            permanent residents.
        (b) The character of medium density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors
            such as proximity to beaches, the Noosa River, recreation spaces, centres,
            topography, availability of views, the established vegetated character, the
            presence of visitor accommodation and the age of development.
        (c) Development makes a positive contribution to the look and feel of residential
            neighbourhoods by maintaining a low scale character with well designed
            buildings and landscaping that enhance the streetscape.
        (d) New uses are located, designed and managed to be compatible with surrounding
            uses.
        (e) The intrusion of incompatible uses, or uses which are more appropriately
            accommodated in other zones is avoided to protect land for dual occupancies,
            community residences, rooming accommodation, multiple dwellings, retirement
            and relocatable home park facilities.
        (f) Development caters for both the current and projected demographic and socio-
            economic profile of the area, including one and two-person households,
            households on low to moderate incomes and residents with reduced mobility.
        (g) Small dwellings and co-housing models are integrated within the medium density
            residential built form to increase housing choice.
        (h) Short-term visitor accommodation is predominately provided through well-
            established resorts and holiday units.
        (i) Home-based businesses provide for domestic workplaces and home-hosted
            guest accommodation of a scale and intensity compatible with attached and semi-
            attached living and the residential character and amenity of the surrounding area
            and locality.
        (j) Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic,
            noise, dust, odour, lighting and other locally specific impacts….


      The purpose of the High density residential zone is to provide for:
         (a) high density multiple dwellings; and
         (b) community uses, and small-scale services, facilities and infrastructure, to
             support local residents.
          The overall outcomes sought for the High density residential zone are as follows:

         (a) High density residential     neighbourhoods     are   predominantly    home     to
             permanent residents.
         (b) The character of high density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors
             such as proximity to beaches, the Noosa River, centres, topography,
