2.1.2       Inconsistency with Noosa Plan SBC Precinct Intents

The Noosaville Locality Plan intent for the applicable precincts included below.
            “w) For the Shire Business Centre Zone—the Shire Business Centre is developed into precincts, as
            depicted on Schedule 4 - Shire Business Centre Map, which include a dynamic mix of
            development with an appropriate integration of uses within each, including—

                        A) Business Precincts (B1-B2), which provide for the highest order of retail
                        development in Noosa and comprises the retail core of the Shire Business Centre
                        site, with associated car parking generally located with Precinct B2;

                        C) Employment Precincts (E1-E7) for future employment growth, which include 3
                        precincts (E1, E2, E3) with preferred themes to allow these precincts to take advantage of
                        new employment opportunities;

                        D) a civic area located within Precinct E1, which provides for a range of civic uses and
                        functions;

                        E) an inter-regional transit facility in Precinct E6;

                        F) a Residential Precinct (RES), which provides residential support accommodation to the
                        other key precincts; and

                        G) a Minor Recreation/Minor Mixed Use/Open Space Precinct (REC/MU), developed for
                        the purposes of a minor recreation use or minor mixed-use development (Noosa Plan,
                        part 11, section 11.8.2, [w]).”

The proposed development is inconsistent with the intent for the SBC
precincts on which the development will be situated, under the Noosaville
Locality Code, as the majority of the development is proposed to be situated in
Precinct E1 and E6 (for Technology, Business Offices and Civic uses). The
proposed Noosa Civic development proposes an additional floor area of
32,525m2, and a total floor area of 63,166m2, which is not supported to be
developed outside the retail core (Precinct B1 and B2).

The proposed development is not compatible with the intent for Precinct E6,
which encourages the creation of an inter-regional transit facility. The
employment intent for Precincts E1 and E2 are also not reflected by the proposed
development, as only retail related employment is proposed. The proposal is also
in conflict with the intent for Precinct E1 to provide civic uses.

2.1.3       Inconsistency with Noosaville Locality Plan

Precinct Floor Area Provisions

The Noosaville Locality Plan (Table 11.21) specifies floor areas for the SBC
Business Precincts. Retail development on the Noosa Civic site should not exceed
