Desired Environmental Outcomes
The strategic framework sets the policy direction for the planning scheme and forms the basis for ensuring
appropriate development occurs within the Noosa region. The following extract has been taken from the Desired
Environmental Outcomes and applies to development within the Shire. This high level, strategic outcome can be

of Hastings Street exemplified by existing cafes’/restaurants such as Rococo (42 Hastings Street), Aromas (32
Hastings Street), 10 Hastings (10 Hastings Street) and La Vida (11 Hastings Street) as illustrated in the photographs
above.

As illustrated in Photographs 11-16, the design outcomes that have been achieved by Betty’s Burgers (50 Hastings
Street), Miss Moneypennys (6 Hastings Street) and Kaali (2 Hastings Street) present as bulky and boxy barriers that
separate diners from pedestrians. This design form creates a sense of isolation.
