Meeting papers

            providing high value employment opportunities is a priority and is protected by setting aside short term needs.
      (b)   Retail gross floor area is focused around providing activation in the Village Mixed Use precinct along the
            mainstreet and the civic green combined with with some limited additional retail in the Retail precinct.
      (c)   Additional development in the Noosa Business Centre follows a logical sequence of infrastructure and
            development in response to the needs of the community and with regard to­
             (i)     timing and construction of the additional parts of the internal circulation road and community village
                     green space;
             (ii)    development of a substantial amount of non­retailing employment floor space; and
             (iii)   development of small dwellings and affordable rental premises to support key workers and smaller
                     households.
      (b)   Development may be sequenced over time to be consistent with the needs of the community in terms of
            enabling optimum provision for higher order employment opportunities and infrastructure delivery.
      (c)   Development occurs in distinct settings defined by:​
            (i)      a network of open spaces linking distinguishable development precincts;
            (ii)     supplementary landscaping treatments and a central community village green space;
            (iii)    distinctive and sub​tropical design elements appropriate to the precinct and the setting and which are
                     immediately recognisable as having a ‘Noosa’ style.
      (d)   Land adjoining Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive maintains a natural vegetation buffer to effectively
            screen urban development within the zone except at the key entry points.
      (e)   Development at key entry points provides a distinctive and appropriate sense of arrival through architectural
            design features, artwork or landscaping, providing external identification of the centre, and internal way​finding.
      (f)   Buildings are distinctive in design and interspersed with attractive and low key informal spaces that retain
            existing mature vegetation.
      (g)   Development adjoining the key pedestrian and cycle connection shown in Figure 7.2.4.5 (Noosa Business
            Centre Framework and Character Plan), along the central Environmental Management and Conservation zone
            spine, allows for passive surveillance and open space opportunities including parks, informal recreation or
            seating opportunities and the like, to create a high amenity, shaded and safe connection from the village green
            through to Hofmann Drive. This connection is to be on the same plane as the adjoining ground floor
            development in the Village Mixed use precinct and Business park precinct.
      (h)   Development adjoining the Transit Centre site is designed to ensure safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle
            connectivity between the Major Centre Zone and Community Facilities zone in a high amenity environment.
      (i)   Other than at key entry points, the presentation of development is internal to the zone and does not seek to be
            distinguishable from Eenie Creek Road or Walter Hay Drive.
      (j)   Development provides an integrated built form with visual and physical connectivity across and throughout the
            Noosa Business Centre including the sub­regional transit facility.
      (k)   The scale and intensity of development does not detrimentally impact on the function of the road network of
            Eumundi Noosa Road, Eenie Creek Road or Walter Hay Drive and traffic lights and flyovers are avoided.

      of the Major centre zone and the overall outcomes described in (3) above:
