               availability of views, the established vegetated character, the age of
               development and open space provision.
         (c) The distinct look and feel of existing residential neighbourhoods is retained,
             and development makes a positive contribution to the streetscape by
             maintaining the predominant character of the area and providing well
             designed buildings and landscaping.
         (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 higher density
             attached housing.
         (f) Multiple dwellings of various sizes and some communal housing models, to the
             exclusion of dual occupancy and dwelling houses, are provided to meet the
             needs of different households.
         (g) Development caters for both the current and projected demographic, economic
             and social profile of the area, including one and two-person households,
             households on low to moderate incomes and residents with reduced mobility.
         (h) Small multiple dwellings are integrated within the high density residential built
             form to increase housing choice.
         (i)   Home-based businesses allow residents to operate discreet businesses which
               are compatible with high density living and the residential character and
               amenity of the surrounding area.
         (j)   Short-term visitor accommodation is predominately provided through well-
               established resorts and holiday units.
         (k) Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having regard to
             traffic, noise, dust, odour, lighting and other locally specific impacts….


NP2020 states the following relevant purpose and outcomes of the Tourist
Accommodation zone:
           The purpose of the Tourist accommodation zone is to provide for:
          (a) short-term accommodation; and
          (b) community uses, and small-scale services, facilities and infrastructure, to
              support short-term accommodation and tourist attractions.
           The overall outcomes sought for the Tourist accommodation zone are as follows:
         (a) Development provides for a mix of medium to high density visitor
             accommodation in the form of resorts, hotels and short-term
             accommodation such as hostels and self-contained holiday units.
         (b) Visitor accommodation in the urban areas is supported by a mix of business
             activities which create a vibrant atmosphere and complement and enhance the
             function and attractiveness of the area as a visitor destination. Cafes,
             restaurants, entertainment, function facilities and complementary shopping and
             personal services cater to the needs of visitors as well as Noosa Shire residents
             enjoying these areas.
         (c) Business activities are ancillary to visitor accommodation and should be of a
             nature and scale compatible with the mixed-use character and coastal amenity
             of the area and not compromise the viability of the Noosa Shire centres
             hierarchy by introducing activities at a scale that should be accommodated

                                                                                      pg. 184
