Pomona
      (m)   For Development in Pomona:
            (i)      Pomona remains a small country town with a distinct heritage character and identity.
            (ii)     Pomona maintains its role as a local centre offering a range of convenience goods and services to support a
                     growing rural and village community. Some expansion of local business, residential and rural residential areas is
                     provided for.
            (iii)    Business uses in Pomona expand in a form and extent that maintains a compact town centre with growth occurring
                     only within the Local centre zone. Residents of Pomona rely on larger centres such as Cooroy and Tewantin to meet
                     higher order needs.
            (iv)     Development preserves, and is sympathetic to, buildings that contribute to the character of the village, the landscape
                     setting and the attractive entry points to the village including the scenic amenity of Hill Street and Reserve Street.
            (v)      The low scale heritage character and key local architectural elements are retained and enhanced including the Art
                     Deco shopfronts along Memorial Avenue and Federation style influences.
            (vi)     Reserve Street, Memorial Avenue and Station Street are enhanced as attractive and pedestrian friendly main streets
                     with active frontages and on­street parking to minimise vehicular driveways interrupting the footpath.
            (vii)    Important local landmark and heritage character buildings and places, including the Majestic Theatre, Noosa
                     Museum, the Post Office, the Police Station, the former Noosa Shire Council Chambers, the School of Arts Hall and
                     Pomona Hotel are retained and the scale, orientation and design of adjoining development is sympathetic to the
                     existing arrangement of buildings and landscape setting.
            (viii)   Development respects the distinct role of the traditional town centre to the west of the railway line and the
                     complementary role of business and community functions to the east of the railway line, including small scale
                     commercial services and low impact industrial uses.
            (ix)     The Low impact industry zone provides a range of lot sizes that cater for low impact industrial uses set within an
                     integrated and visually appealing industrial area with a high level of environmental performance.
            (x)      Development supports traditional and emerging rural enterprises, hospitality and tourism enterprises,
                     environmentally sustainable and creative industries.
            (xi)     Development enhances the open space network including pedestrian and cyclist access throughout town including
                     between the western and eastern sides of the railway line.

Cooran
      (n)   For development in Cooran:
            (i)      Cooran remains a small rural village with intimate character and identity, primarily servicing the local community,
                     surrounding rural district and visitors to the area.
            (ii)     Development preserves and enhances the attractive entry points to the village including the scenic amenity from
                     Queen Street and King Street, and key buildings that contribute to the character of the village.
            (iii)    Development is sympathetic to the arrangement of buildings and landscape setting.
            (iv)     Important local landmark and heritage character buildings and areas such as the School of Arts hall and Alfredson’s
                     Joinery are retained. Development on sites or adjoining these sites is sympathetic to the existing arrangement of
                     buildings and landscape setting and does not overwhelm by scale, orientation and design.
            (v)      Development maintains the role of Cooran village as a local centre and provides limited convenience retail and
                     commercial services to cater for the day to day needs of local residents and nearby rural residential areas. Whilst
                     the centre provides for further expansion within the village boundary, Cooran residents will continue to depend on
                     larger centres to fulfil most of their higher order retail services and business needs.
            (vi)     Development continues to support traditional and emerging rural enterprises, home­based and small business
                     including creative and environmentally focussed initiatives.
            (vii)    Development protects ecologically important areas including significant riparian vegetation adjacent to Six Mile
                     Creek and its tributaries.
