              (ii)    Visual connection to the park from Emerald Street is important.
              (iii)   Formalise any informal links in partnership with the owner/ tenant and create new ones where appropriate.

        (d)   Wimmers Lane (and other lanes):
              (i)     Important mid­block link between Wattle Street and Maple Street.

        (a)   Cooroy Creek Crossing ­ reinforce and enhance the gateway experience by:
              (i)     Extending the streetscape language of Maple Street to the creek crossing, signifying the arrival in the centre;
              (ii)    Redevelopment of any corners sites to positively address corners and contribute to the arrival experience; and Any
                      landscaping or building works to ensure key view line to the Library are maintained.

        (b)   Intersection of Garnet, Myall and Maple Streets ­ to reinforce and enhance the gateway experiences including:

                      pedestrian and cyclist pathway connection and accordingly safe pedestrian crossing of Myall Street will be required;
              (ii)    New intersection design to include ample room for character landscape planting ­ intensification of landscaping at
                      the gateway; and

 SC6.8.3              Pomona

 (1)    Key urban design and character outcomes for Pomona are listed below:
        (a)   Retain retail and commercial focus of land with frontage to Memorial Avenue, Station Street and Reserve Street and
              industrial and commercial focus of land on Factory Street;
        (b)   Reinforce Memorial Avenue, Station Street and Reserve Street as the main streets with buildings that address the street,
              provide active street fronts, complement the traditional building form and style (Art Deco and Federation styles) and
              incorporate weather protected footpaths;
        (c)   Continue a low speed, pedestrian focussed street environment, with attractive vegetated streetscaping;
        (d)   Retain the Character Area within the village centre and continue to protect individual heritage sites;
        (e)   Encourage buildings that reflect the traditional heritage styles and character of Pomona, particularly within the character
              area west of the railway line. Allow for the relocation and reuse of older buildings destined for redevelopment in other parts
              of Noosa Shire;
        (f)   Allow further retail development in the form of small tenancies only; and
        (g)   Where topography allows, retain the traditional grid layout of Pomona when extending existing streets.

 (2)    The Pomona Framework and Character Plan is located in the Hinterland Villages Local Plan code in the Noosa Plan. It identifies a
        number of key urban design and character elements which support the overall outcomes and performance outcomes for Pomona.
        Each of these elements are described in more detail below to provide some context and guidance in achieving the outcomes of
