The proposal has been assessed against the relevant elements of the Noosaville Locality Code.
The Overall Outcomes relevant to the Business Centre zone are supported by the proposed
development. Specifically, the following outcomes are of note:
i.   development accommodates uses that do not detract from the role of the Shire Business
     Centre, as a Major Activity Centre for the purposes of the SEQ Regional Plan and as the
     principle business centre for Noosa;
ii. development continues to serve the local needs of the Noosaville community and visitors;
iii. the Mary Street/Thomas Street Precinct, as shown on Map ZM8, provides a range of
     business facilities and services, which do not generate large volumes of traffic or require
     significant customer parking and which are accommodated in buildings of a domestic scale;
iv. the Mary Street/Thomas Street Precinct incorporates a mix of business and residential uses
    which reduces commuting pressures and creates a vibrant environment with opportunities for
    both day and night time casual surveillance;
The proposed development is generally consistent with the Overall Outcomes as the commercial
use will not detract from the role of the Shire Business Centre as a Major Activity Centre. The use
will continue to provide a use which currently exists on part of the site which serves the needs of
the local community. The development is unlikely to result in any significant change to existing
traffic flows or trips given the site’s existing uses. Sufficient parking is accommodated on site to
cater for the demand of the uses proposed. The trading hours of 5.00am to 10:00pm will aid in
providing additional opportunities for casual surveillance of the area.
