Noosa Civic Submission

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.
