7.2.1.2                Purpose and Overall Outcomes

Hinterland Villages
1.       The purpose of the Hinterland Villages local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
         development within the Hinterland Villages local plan area.
2.       The following overall outcomes apply to the Hinterland Villages local plan code are:
         (a)   The Hinterland Villages of Pomona, Cooran, Kin Kin and Boreen Point are vibrant rural or lakeside villages, each with a
               unique character and identity reflecting their location and heritage.
         (b)   Development within each village is consistent with the identified character and of that particular community.
         (c)   Development is contained within the urban boundaries for Pomona, Cooran, Kin Kin and Boreen Point to protect their
               identity and character, prevent further fragmentation of rural land and provide efficient provision of infrastructure and
               services.
         (d)   Development is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas and retain landscape and built form elements,
               including significant views and vistas that contribute to the setting, character, identity, sense of place and connections to the
               past. Valued elements include:
               (i)     Lake Cootharaba, including its foreshore water access and views across the lake to Noosa North Shore;
               (ii)    Open space and landscape values of parkland such as Stan Topper Park, Cooroora Creek Park, Chris Kenny Park
                       and Borg Park;
               (iii)   Views to Mt Cooroora, Mt Cooran, Mt Pinbarren and ranges of Woondum National Park;
               (iv)    Early twentieth century architecture; and
               (v)     Heritage associations of the North Coast Rail Line.

         (e)   Development retains and enhances:
               (i)     the small scale rural or lakeside character and built form elements;
               (ii)    the inherent agricultural, cultural, heritage and natural environmental values; and
               (iii)   surrounding landscapes and scenic amenity.

         (f)   Development maintains the rural amenity, lifestyle and level of accessibility enjoyed by residents and visitors of the villages.
         (g)   Development is consistent with the traditional built form of low rise and low density buidings comprising timber and tin,
               raised on stumps with suspended floors, with significant space for landscaping.
         (h)   Retail and commercial business uses provide for the immediate needs of local residents and visitors and, in conjunction
               with home­based and industrial business enterprises, provide employment consistent with the scale, character and identity
               of the village.
         (i)   Well designed, locally appropriate accommodation and other tourist attractions are compatible with and enhance the
               landscape character, heritage and environmental values of the community and maintain the peaceful, small town heritage,
               rural produce and outdoor recreation.
         (j)   Development retains strong historical connections to the respective community by:
               (i)     limiting the extent of demolition and adaptively reusing early to mid­twentieth century buildings;
               (ii)    complementing heritage character through the use of traditional building forms and materials, such as timber and
                       tin, that do not overwhelm the existing fabric of buildings on site, adjoining sites, or within the streetscape; and
               (iii)   appropriate design elements including vertical and horizontal articulation and suspended floor construction,
