2.2. Surrounding Land Uses
The Noosaville industrial estate is adjacent the site to the west, with Rene Street extending into
the NBC and connecting to Hofmann Drive. The estate contains a broad mix of industrial and
business uses. Adjacent lots within the NBC to the west and south west of the site fronting
Hofmann Drive and Rene Street have been developed for warehousing, storage, distribution,
manufacturing and trade showroom uses. Lionel Donovan Drive is to the north of the site, across
Eenie Creek Road, and is predominantly developed for motor vehicle sales businesses and
complimentary industrial business uses. Noosa Domain retirement village is north of the site across
Eenie Creek Road. Substantial open space and conservation lands containing remnant vegetation
are adjacent the site to the south and east, with Eenie Creek approximately 500m to the south
flowing to Lake Weyba 1.5klm to the southeast.

2.3. Background
The site represents the majority part of the Noosa Business Centre and has partly been developed
with the Noosa Civic established in October 2006 as Stage 1. Stage 1 involved the establishment
of a discount department store based shopping centre of approximately 23,900m2 gross floor area,
along with 7,200m2 gross floor of retail showrooms, a service station and 4,925m2 gross floor area
of commercial office space. As part of the approval for Stage 1, Lot 3 SP182845 was dedicated as
open space to the State.
A Stage 2 development was approved by Council in 2008 and comprised four office buildings with
a combined gross floor area of 7,701m2 but never proceeded and the approval has lapsed. The
associated lots along the NBC’s western boundary were subsequently sold by receivers and a
number now have new development approvals.
