20150728 NPA Submission Noosa Civic

1.3. The proposal fails to provide, and precludes the provision of, the design outcomes for the NBC
     including a dynamic mix of development; buildings in a low rise form separated by attractive and low
     key informal spaces that are integrated with landscaping and open space areas; a park like setting
     with active street frontages and outdoor focus recognisable as a development in Noosa Shire.



2. The proposal conflicts unacceptably with the planned intent for Precincts E1 and E6:

2.1     Precincts E1 and E6 are intended to be employment precincts with office development the
        primary focus; and

2.2     Precinct E1 is intended for employment (technology based research and development, business
        offices) and civic purposes; and

2.3     Precinct E6 is intended to be employment oriented and to include an interregional transit facility;
        and

2.4     In Precincts E1 and E6 all retail development is identified as inconsistent to achieve or assist in
        achieving non retail employment opportunities.



3. The proposed development destroys or unacceptably diminishes the capacity of the NBC to attain its
   desired and planned range of facilities and to accommodate:

3.1     Non-retail development including civic uses, inter-regional transit facilities and commercial office
        space;

3.2     Employment opportunities at the rate provided for by the development of office space in Precincts
        E1 and E6 (rather than retail based employment);

3.3     Opportunities for suitable diversification of employment opportunities in appropriate planned
        locations.
