3. Details of Submission
I , make the following submission:
I object to the application because:
1. It is contrary to the Noosa Plan that Noosa Council must uphold.
2. It fails the requirement for the Shire Business Centre (SBC) to be a multi-function employment node forming the
major focus of employment growth as any expansion of the retail component of the SB C does nothing to diversify
employment particularly youth employment;
3. It fails the requirement for the SBC to develop a substantive amount of non-retailing development for employment
opportunities beyond Retail business by attempting to create yet more retail space and retail jobs.
4. The already developed areas B1 and B2 of the SBC Plan comprising schedule 4 of the Noosa Plan already exceeds
the desired retail floor space for the SBC.
5. Any increase in the retail floor area would preclude the SBC ever achieving its desired role, and accommodating
business and employment opportunities beyond retail business, and accommodating new employment opportunities
including technology and information based employment.
6. The purpose of the SBC was to create a multi-functional business centre to facilitate opportunities for the promotion
of high level, skilled and technology based employment including higher order employment (such as knowledge
based and creative businesses and environmental education) so as to provide both a social and community focus for
Noosa as well as high order community and social services easily accessed by public transport not just retail floor
space. There is no valid reason to abandon these objectives for the opportunistic development or more retail
facilities.

7. There is no economic, town planning or community need for additional retail space at the SBC and to approve this
proposal would be in conflict with the existing well-established retail hierarchy and reduce the ability to include the
planned commercial office space, civic uses and inter-regional transit facility at SBC.
8. The need for more retail space also fails based on the number of vacancies that constantly exist in the already
developed areas of the SBC as well as the existing centres in Tewantin, Noosaville and Noosa Junction.
9. The retail needs of the Noosa community are adequately serviced by existing centres including Maroochydore.
Increasing the retail space at the SBC would have a negative effect on those centres.
10. Once created, the viability of the additional retail space at the SBC might be used as a precedent for the need of a
greater support population putting pressure on residential development of the rural properties surrounding the SBC.
