        (b)   Ensure the new ‘Main street’ is consistent with the Noosa style village streetscape character, that addresses the street
              edge and contains active frontages with high amenity streetscapes and landscaping.
        (c)   Car parking arrangements are to be located to the rear or underneath buildings and not visible from the street.
        (d)   New development is to promote walkability and pedestrian safety as a priority over vehicle movement.
        (e)   Development is designed and located to maintain an external edge of natural vegetation to effectively screen urban
              development within the centre from Walter Hay Drive and Eenie Creek Road except at the key entry points.

 (2)    The Noosa Business Centre Framework and Character Plan is located in the Noosaville 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 Noosaville. Each of these elements are described in more detail below to provide some context and guidance in achieving the
        outcomes of the Noosa Plan.
 (3)    Key Views – Views identified as important to the character, legibility and experience of Noosaville:
        (a)   Contextual – typically distant views to landscape elements, often layered with more localised features. The key contextual
              views for Noosa Business Centre are those to Noosa National Park which provide an important contribution to gateway
              sites/ arrival experience (regionally significant landscape character, close proximity to proposed transit hub).
        (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)     Views to key corners and proposed landmark buildings which signalise the entry points to the centre (combination of
                      built form and character landscape).
              (ii)    Views to the proposed transit area from key gateway sites (elevate the importance of public transport in the town
                      centre context)
              (iii)   Views at the intersection of proposed new north­south ‘main street’ and existing access road which signalise a key
                      wayfinding point for the centre to the existing shopping centre, showrooms or new mixed use village precinct.

 (4)    Open Space and Landscape Treatments ­ The Noosa Business Centre has a number of open space assets within and
        adjoining the centre that make a significant contribution to the place character. Key landscape treatments include:
        (a)   New north­south main street through the Village Mixed Use Precinct – Landscaping must be of a high quality characterised
              by the natural/ informal style of planting and the high level of shade created by the trees.
        (b)   The internal Link Road complements the new Village main street providing a slightly different character and feel (a more
              formal/ boulevard style of planting). A high quality and amenity of streetscape, including shade coverage in the centre
              median should be applied to the point it intersects with the main street.
        (c)   Hofmann Drive ­ is an internal road that connects precincts within the centre. The landscape quality is quite high along the
              length of the road; vegetation is dense, informal and reflective of the surrounding natural landscape. The wider verges with
              meandering paths are quite pleasant for pedestrians and cyclists to navigate. Additionally, the landscape does a good job
              of screening the servicing and back of house areas of the adjacent shopping centre, lifting the experience and impression
              on the place. The high quality of landscaping in this road should set a benchmark for other areas.
        (d)   The Village Green Space – links the existing shopping centre with the proposed new village main street. A high standard of
              landscaping and public realm treatment is required which:
              (i)     integrates the existing centre with the proposed new development and links to the village main street; and
              (ii)    provides high amenity areas for the community to meet and congregate either formally or informally with shading and
                      protection provided by trees.

 (5)    Landmark/Character Buildings – There are no single landmark/ character buildings identified within the centre. The existing
        Noosa Civic is a large format shopping centre and it is not expected new development will rival it for floor area. There is future
        potential for landmark/ character built form to contribute to the identified ‘special place’ and gateway’ intersections for the centre.
        Pavilion style commercial and office buildings with activated frontage of 2 or 3 storeys should contribute to the character.
 (6)    Key Corners ­ These sites make (or have the potential to make) a significant contribution to the built form character and
        experience of the Noosaville centre. Built form should positively address the corners; be active and inviting (be ‘friendly’) and
        include character landscaping. Roof forms, windows and door openings should reflect this character outcome and orientation.
        Additional height at the corner may be appropriate to reinforce site specific gateway and wayfinding objectives.
 (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 muStreetadhere to the planning scheme
        requirements, particularly the major centre zone. It is recommended that a new ‘main street’ be created in the centre, forming a
        new street based retail environment/ focus with fine grain active frontages along the edges of the proposed village green and the
        village main street.
