            (viii)   Development does not result in adverse environmental impacts caused by on­site effluent disposal.

Kin Kin
     (o)    For development in Kin Kin:
            (i)      Kin Kin remains a small rural village with a character and identity befitting its scenic, secluded location amongst the
                     hills.
            (ii)     Development preserves and enhances the attractive entry points to the village including both ends of Main Street, the
                     north western aspect where it intersects with Gympie Kin Kin Road and Pomona Kin Kin Road and the south
                     eastern aspect at the point where it meets Sister Tree Creek Road.
            (iii)    Important local landmark heritage and character buildings which make a considerable contribution to the identity of
                     the village, including the Country Life Hotel and the School of Arts hall, amongst others, are retained and new
                     development is sympathetic to the arrangement of buildings and landscape setting so as not to overwhelm
                     established buildings and spaces.
            (iv)     Development maintains the role of the Kin Kin village as a small local centre and provides limited convenience
                     retail, commercial and hospitality services for the local community and for visitors. Kin Kin residents will continue to
                     depend on larger centres to fulfil most of their higher order retail services and business needs.
            (v)      Development in the Low Density Residential zone maintains high levels of amenity consistent with Kin Kin’s rural
                     village character, derived from large allotment sizes with ample space for gardens and outdoor living.
            (vi)     Development for visitor accommodation or hospitality uses respect the heritage, natural and core values of the
                     community including Kin Kin’s remoteness and strong connection to the environment and farming.
            (vii)    Development continues to support traditional and emerging rural enterprises, home­based and small business
                     including food and beverage focussed initiatives and creative industries.
            (viii)   Development in the Low Impact Industry zone provides a range of enterprises and employment drawing on the rural
                     heritage, creative and environmental strengths of the community and enhances the visual amenity of the Sister Tree
                     Creek Road streetscape.
            (ix)     Development protects ecologically important areas, particularly riparian vegetation adjacent to Kin Kin Creek and its
                     tributaries.
            (x)      Development does not result in adverse environmental impacts caused by on­site effluent disposal.

Boreen Point
     (p)    For development in Boreen Point:
            (i)      Boreen Point remains a small, secluded, lakeside village with a casual and leisurely atmosphere focused on water
                     activities which attracts visitors and tourists to the area in holiday periods. As well as being home to a community
                     that appreciates the lifestyle it affords it serves as a popular visitor destination and a gateway to the scenic
                     wilderness of the upper Noosa River.
            (ii)     The sense of arrival gained from the western end of Laguna Street is protected with retention of existing vegetation
                     and additional street trees and landscaping used to buffer development and enhance the natural avenue effect.
            (iii)    The foreshore character with extensive open spaces and significant views and vistas to and across Lake
                     Cootharaba, is preserved as is the native vegetation along the foreshore, particularly Melaleucas and Eucalypts
                     which shade the area.
            (iv)     Development maintains the historical small lot pattern on the peninsula that take advantage of views across Lake
                     Cootharaba and the corresponding small dwellings that sit lightly on the lot using suspended floors or step down
                     slopes, with space between buildings for trees and outdoor living.
            (v)      Development maintains the area further to the west, between Hector Street and Lake Flat Road, for larger lots to
                     serve as a transition from the open rural landscape to the village.
            (vi)     Development respects the mix of traditional and contemporary small scale, sub­tropical building design and
                     responds to the specific site conditions, informal streetscaping and low levels of infrastructure and services.
            (vii)    Important local landmark buildings that contribute to the character and identity of the village including the Apollonian
                     Hotel and original guesthouse are retained within their setting, not overwhelmed by the proximity, scale, orientation
                     or design of adjoining development.
            (viii)   Boreen Point has a low level of commercialisation and development maintains its local centre role servicing the
                     immediate convenience needs of residents and visitors. Higher order needs are met by larger centres including
                     Tewantin and Pomona.
