7.2.3 Tewantin Local Plan Code
7.2.3.1 Application
This code applies to assessable development:
(a) within the Tewantin local plan area as shown on Map ZM-11 - Tewantin contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
(b) identified as requiring assessment against the Tewantin local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of
assessment).
7.2.3.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
Tewantin
(1) The purpose of the Tewantin local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of development
within the Tewantin local plan area.
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Tewantin local plan area:
(a) Tewantin is a vibrant yet traditional town strongly influenced by its heritage and its riverside setting. Framed by national park
and waterways, its character and identity reflect its location and heritage as a gateway to the Noosa River, the hinterland,
Noosa North Shore and the Great Sandy Region.
(b) Development within the Tewantin local plan area is limited to land within the urban boundary, so as to provide a defined
edge to the town to protect and reinforce the character and identity of Tewantin, provide efficient provision of infrastructure
and services, avoid constrained land and protect the surrounding ecologically important areas.
(c) Development in the local plan area is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas, retain the landscape and
built form elements and significant views and vistas to external elements, that contributes to the setting, character and
identity of Tewantin as a town with a strong sense of place and association with the past. Valued elements include:
(i) the Noosa River, its banks and riparian qualities;
(ii) Wooroi Creek and the adjoining bushland reserve;
(iii) Lake Doonella and the adjoining Doonella Wetlands Nature Refuge;
(iv) Heritage Park Bushland Reserve;
(v) open space and landscape values of the golf club and sports complex;
(vi) landscape and heritage values associated with RSL Memorial Park; and
(vii) views to Mt Tinbeerwah, Mt Cooroy, Tewantin National Park and Noosa North Shore.
(d) The form and scale of development is generally low key with buildings that are low rise and cover a comparatively small
area of the site leaving significant areas for landscaping and private open space.
(e) Tewantin town centre functions as a district activity centre providing a wide range of commercial, retail and community
activities to service and provide for the needs of residents and visitors to the area and local employment.
(f) Tewantin town centre includes mixed-use developments incorporating residential uses within the District Centre zone on
sites fronting Blakesly Street, Doonella Street, Sidoni Street, Pelican street and Diyan Street.
(g) The town centre remains compact and walkable with expansion of retail and commercial functions limited to land included
within the District Centre zone.
(h) The District Centre zone has a core business centre with retail activities focused along Poinciana Avenue.
(i) Development in the District Centre zone provides continuous fine grained shopfronts that address and activate Poinciana
Avenue extended along the western sides of Memorial Avenue and Diyan Street.
(j) Retail uses are avoided in Blakesly Street and Doonella Street as a transition to nearby residential areas.
(k) The traditional built form, heritage and streetscape character of Tewantin town centre is retained and reinforced, with
Poinciana Avenue enhanced as a wide, attractive and pedestrian friendly main street, predominantly free of through traffic.
(l) The shared zone at the intersection of Poinciana Street and Memorial Avenue/Diyan Street is retained as a key character
feature of Tewantin town centre.
(m) Despite its function as a gateway and service centre for visitors to the Noosa North Shore, upper reaches of the Noosa
River, Noosa Hinterland and popular coastal destinations, Tewantin is home to a permanent resident population without
substantial short-term accommodation.

(n) Residential development maintains good access to activity centres, community facilities, sport and recreation facilities and
open space.
(o) Development in the Low Density Housing zone accommodates permanent residents in detached houses and home-based
businesses.
(p) The Low density residential zone maintains residential neighbourhoods of varying character due to lot size, established
vegetated character, age of development and open space elements.
(q) Development in the Medium Density zones accommodates a diversity in housing types for permanent residents including
dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and relocatable home parks.
(r) The Recreation and Open Space zone at Moorindil Street and Cooroy-Noosa Road is preserved for tourist parks and
provides low cost accommodation for visitors.
(s) Noosa Marina is retained in the Recreation and Open Space zone as the primary river-based economic and transport node
in the Tewantin local plan area. Development is limited to uses that relate to marine activities, including river ferry services,
complemented by a limited number of shops, cafés, and restaurants. Residential uses are not intended at the Noosa
Marina. The business operating from a commercial jetty lease area in Cardell Road, Tewantin provides watercraft for hire.
(t) Land committed or planned for community purposes is protected and managed in the Community Facilities zone to enable
the efficient and timely delivery of community services which meet many of the administrative, health, education, social and
safety needs of the local community.
(u) Development is supported by a network of open space and pathway connections to meet the needs of the local community
and facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within the local
plan area.
(v) Development improves local connectivity by providing pedestrian and cycle connections to and between key local
destinations such as the activity centres, community and sports facilities, Tewantin State School, along the Noosa River and
Lake Doonella water frontages and towards Noosaville State School, Noosa Hospital and Wallace Estate located outside
the local plan area.
