                      the town centre area. For example the key development site to the south of the centre should not impact the retention
                      of these views in the longer term.
              (ii)    Views to Mt Cooroy and the distant ranges can be viewed from various different locations along the north south
                      corridor, the most prominent being within the Rufous Street Master Plan area (outside town centre) and from the
                      roads adjacent to the supermarket development where the land drops away dramatically. The future key development
                      site to the west may impact the retention of these views in the longer term, the recommendation is to retain as many
                      of these views as possible as a core character experience.
              (iii)   Views to the ocean/ coastal environment from the main street ­ Retain this view corridor, ensuing park and street
                      infrastructure placement does not compromise this view (part of the historic ‘wetlands to sea link’.

        (b)   Localised­ typically views within the centre to key character elements, such as significant landmark or character buildings or
              key landscape forms. Localised views include:
              (i)     Along David Low Way at northern Gateway (with community building on corner);
              (ii)    Between buildings/ along driveways to open space ­ the spaces in between buildings are important to local
                      character;
              (iii)   Along David Low Way northern approach, bend in road reinforces importance of corner site and intersection
                      treatment;
              (iv)    Along David Low Way southern approach, reinforces importance of corner site and intersection treatment; and
              (v)     Along key path from beach/ parkland, to key development site/ potential landmark corner site (the centre).

        (c)   Appendix 1 SC6.8 includes photos of key contextual and localised views for Peregian Beach.

 (4)    Open Space and Landscape Treatments ­ The landscape character of Peregian Beach is generally of a high quality and plays an
        important role and linking the open spaces (east­west). Peregian Beach has some of the highest quality examples of allowing
        mature landscape to thrive and connect between the built form; a defining characteristic of the ‘Noosa Style’. Key landscape
        treatments include:
        (a)   Heron Street which includes views to the ocean framed by locally iconic trees (Coconut Palms and Norfolk Island Palms)
              and the dunes/ coastal landscape; and
        (b)   The Village Green and the connecting retail lanes, which are a uniquely Peregian Beach open space/ landscape character
              experience. The planting creates an almost complete canopy coverage and the experience of ‘dappled light’ to the majority
              of open space and outdoor dining within the area.

 (5)    Landmark/Character Buildings – The built form along Heron Street makes a significant contribution to the low key, coastal
        streetscape character of the Peregian Beach town centre. The northern side with its high set buildings and iconic roof form/ upper
        level awning are major factors in its influence contrasting with the village green shops to the south, with its unique low scale built
        form that create comfortable human scaled spaces with fine grained shop fronts surrounding the park. There is potential for
        additional landmark/ character built form to contribute to the northern and southern gateways; the development of the Digital Hub
        in the north and the potential for future redevelopment of the hardware site in the south.
 (6)    Key Corners ­ These sites make (or have the potential to make) a significant contribution to the built form character and
        experience of Peregian Beach. Built form should positively address the corners; be active and inviting (be ‘friendly’). Roof forms,
        windows and door openings should reflect this character outcome and orientation.
 (7)    Primary Active Frontages ­ The mapped ‘primary active frontages’ reflect where this type of built form interface currently exists or
        is proposed; appropriate, desired and achievable. These built form interfaces must adhere to the planning scheme requirements,
        particularly the local centre zone. It is assumed that all other business zone street interfaces (within the centre) also provide some
        form of active frontage, however they may be secondary in nature with variances such as greater setbacks for landscaping.
 (8)    Key Development Sites ­ These sites have been identified as those with a high likelihood for development/redevelopment in the
        next 5 to 10 year timeframe and have the potential to significantly impact on the character of the centre. It is recommended that
        additional guidance on the urban design and built form outcomes of these sites be sought through a preliminary meeting with
        Council Planning Officers. Key development sites in Peregian beach include:
        (a)   Future Visitor Accommodation (2 Storey) – Development should be planned and designed in a way that addresses and
              activates the laneway as well as protecting the key contextual views from the Rufous Street Master Plan area and David Low
              Way to distant mountains.
        (b)   Hardware Site (southern gateway site) – Any redevelopment should contribute to the desired gateway qualities.
        (c)   Redevelopment of 6 Heron Street ­ The site terminates a key ‘localised view’ along the primary access path from beach/
              parkland, to the town centre. Preferably:
              (i)     the built form will make the most of its aspect, potentially providing an opening to the corner;
              (ii)    built form will provide active frontages to Heron Street, Kingfisher Drive and the Village green, including wide and
