4.0 PLANNING SCHEME CONTROLS

     The proposal has been assessed against the relevant statutory planning controls in order to assess its
     compatibility with the subject site. In determining this development application, the assessing authority must
     take into consideration the local planning provisions, which have been addressed below.

     4.1 Zoning

     As per the below mapping, the site is subject to the Visitor Mixed Use Zone (see Figure 5), which aims to
     serve the following purpose:

                 comprises small business outlets with individual character;
                 comprises residential development that includes a mixture of building sizes and are designed for
                  Visitor accommodation, are setback from the street and beach frontages and have a landscaped
                  character consistent with the street landscaping themes;
                 contributes to a high level of residential amenity, design quality, landscape quality and safety;
                 respects the scale and character of the streetscape and surrounding development;
                 enhances the traditional focus for Visitor accommodation in the coastal part of Noosa;
                 incorporates Entertainment and dining businesses, Retail businesses and Commercial businesses
                  that are of particular interest to visitors;
                 contributes to the economy of Noosa through the tourism and hospitality sectors;
                 integrates with nearby public recreation and landscaped carparking areas;




                                                                              Figure 5: Zoning (Visitor Mixed Use)

     It is seen that the continued use and investment in the building agrees directly with the intent of the zone
     through continuing to provide a retail business which primarily services visitor needs.
