              (iii)   Redevelopment allows for the adaptive reuse of the Bowls Club building as well as the logical expansion of built
                      form over time;
              (iv)    The new street extends directly from the central future square to Pinaroo Park, creating a legible connection to this
                      hidden asset. This approach acknowledges key design principle from past consultation and design investigations.
                      Additionally, this alignment informs the balance development parcels and other networks, setting up a relatively
                      flexible, adaptive and logical pattern for future redevelopment opportunities to occur;
              (v)     Future service vehicle access is located away from the central public realm areas. This alignment, adjacent to
                      Pinaroo Park provides the opportunity to create an esplanade road to the park in the longer term, connecting the park
                      and activity centre and thereby allowing more people to experience and value the green space.

 (9)    Streetscape Treatment Areas reinforce the character and experience of Noosa Junction. They establish street hierarchy and
        character that is appropriate for the use and role of the street, primarily through the extent, quality and application of materials,
        placement of streetscape elements/furniture and interfaces. Treatments should be consistent with any existing or proposed
        streetscape improvement works in the area. Primary streetscape treatment areas for Noosa Junction include:
        (a)   High quality materials and finishes exhibiting local character, that reinforce Sunshine Beach Road and Arcadia Street as the
              main streets;
        (b)   A well connected pedestrian friendly zone with a high level of amenity for pedestrians – low vehicle speeds, attractive
              vegetated streetscaping, weather protected, even continuous footpaths, safe crossings, wide verges and medians, etc.
        (c)   Reinforce street activation principles, provide a focus for active interfaces such as well integrated outdoor dining areas;
        (d)   High quality landscaping including enhanced greening at key intersections, street trees with canopy shade cover and
              extensive low level planting;
        (e)   Focus on quality public realm around, and connecting to public transport stops (bus stops and interchange on Sunshine
              Beach Road); and
        (f)   Provide clear, visible, unique and consistent signage at entries into the town to help people understand where they are.

 (10)   Special Place ­ There are three identified ‘special places’ in the Noosa Junction centre, with differing characteristics and roles.
        They are detailed below:
        (a)   Arcadia Street plaza / shared space and the Future Square created by the redevelopment of the bowls club, will form the
              highest order public meeting and arrival place in the centre. Importantly this space connects the Main Street (Sunshine
              Beach Road) with secondary town centre streets and key destinations (Noosa Fair, Lanyana way, Pinaroo Park, etc.). It is
              centrally located, with a high level of visibility from other spaces in the centre, and is an iconic meeting place for locals and
              visitors. Recommendations include:
              (i)     Future works protecting its role and function as the highest order space with the highest levels of embellishment;
              (ii)    The design of the future square ‘stitches in’ with the existing spaces, creating one unified place (the treatment of
                      Lanyana Way will be crucial to achieving this)
              (iii)   The space continues to function as a connecting space for people first and vehicles second, it should be the most
                      attractive choice for connection in the centre.
              (iv)    Continued use of the space for higher level community gatherings, activities and temporary installations.

        (b)   The Cinema Forecourt is an iconic and well used meeting and gathering place, located centrally on the Main Street. It
              primarily relates to the Cinemas, however also acts as a resting place on the Main Street. The landscape treatment is a
              high quality, including iconic artwork. Continued activation of this space and reinforcement of its connections to other
              special places and destinations within the centre is important.
        (c)   The Bus Interchange Forecourt is a key arrival and connecting place in Noosa Junction and for many people it forms the first
              impression of the place. It has an important linking role between the public transport node (including the bike storage area)
              and the centre. The landscape treatment is of a high quality, including iconic artwork and the treatment of access ways that
              prioritise people over cars. Continued activation of this space and reinforcement of its connections to other destinations
              within the centre is important.

 (11)   Key Pedestrian/Cycle Connections ­ Key links in Noosa Junction relate to the mid­block connections of Sunshine Beach Road to
        both Lanyana Way and Bottlebrush Avenue. These include:
        (a)   Mid­block connections that create multiple choices when moving around the centre and unlocking one of the unique
              characteristics of the centre being the lanes and spaces in between. Recommendations include:
              (i)     Public/private collaboration to make these connections publicly accessible;
              (ii)    Alignment of pedestrian crossings and signage with these connection points to make them more visible and
                      increase use; and
              (iii)   Activation of the lanes and in between spaces.
