GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                               13 SEPTEMBER 2021


The proposal generally complies with the built form requirements of the relevant codes. However,
the proposed ratio of residential to commercial, and the Food and drink outlet fronting Doonella
Street raises significant concern. The matters are addressed below.
Commercial/residential ratio
Tewantin Local Plan Code
7.2.3.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
      (2)…
      (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.
      (h)      The District Centre zone has a core business centre with retail activities focused along
               Poinciana Avenue.
      (j)      Retail uses are avoided in Blakesly Street and Doonella Street as a transition to nearby
               residential areas.
Performance outcome PO8

          entertainment and community uses consistent with the Noosa Shire Centres Hierarchy:
      (a)    Tewantin District centre;
      (b)    Noosa Outlook Neighbourhood centre; and
      (c)    Hilton Terrace Neighbourhood centre.

Performance outcome PO9
      PO9 Tewantin town centre functions as a district centre with a wide range of business and
      community functions, servicing Tewantin and communities to the north and west.
Performance outcome PO11
      PO11 Land fronting Pelican Street, Memorial Avenue, Diyan Street, Sidoni Street, Blakesley
      Street, and Doonella Street, serves as a transition area contributing to the business and
      community functions of the town centre but without expansion of active frontages to retail
      businesses unless identified as a primary active street frontage on Figure 7.2.3.4 (Tewantin
      Framework and Character Plan).
District Centre Zone Code
