    (c)        the proposal offers the potential for the Neighbourhood Village
               Centre        to   increasingly    focus     on      being         a
               entertainment/dining/social Place rather than a convenience
               shopping destination (which it currently does not fullfill), thereby
               enhancing and strengthening an already very successful unique
               social meeting place with which residents and regular visitors
               identify with.

Based upon the above findings and observations it is considered that the
proposal does not compromise the achievement of this particular DEO, but
rather contributes positively in advancing its intended achievement.

7.5.6 DEO c) relates to Community Uses, and in particular the provision of
an adequate range of community services and facilities supporting the
physical, safety, artistic and social needs of the community are equitably
distributed having regard to the –

                           i.     location and density of housing;
                           ii.    location of transport infrastructure;
                           iii.   location of business centres;
                           iv.    social, economic and demographic patterns of
                                  Noosa; and
                           v.     function of towns and villages

,and in particular, the provision of lively and vibrant town centres and
community facilities in Noosa Shire which provide a community focal point,
sense of identity and means of social interaction.

Town Planning Comment:

(a)   It is anticipated that the co-location of convenience shopping next to
the Peregian Beach community Centre will:

           •     heighten the local community’s awareness of the Community Centre;
           •     strengthen the ongoing viability and function of the Community Centre;
                 and
           •     provide convenient shopping and eating facilities for visitors/staff of the
                 Community Centre;

The proposal does not compromise this DEO, and clearly has the potential to
contribute to the achievement of the DEO.

7.5.7 DEO g) focuses on open space, environment and conservation
functions and states:
             “Networks of open space and natural habitat, vegetated lands
             and riparian zones along waterways -
