PROJECT URBAN – 19230                                                                   November 2019




        iv. recognising that it may be necessary to increase floor space in existing centres to
            meet changing needs, provided any increased floor space does not impact on the
            successful operation and development of the Shire Business Centre;

        v. business centres at Cooroy, Noosa Junction, Noosaville and Tewantin;

        vi. neighbourhood or visitor centres at Peregian Beach, Sunrise Beach, Sunshine Beach,
            Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Tewantin, Cooroibah and Teewah;

        vii. the town of Pomona and the village centres of Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Cooran;

        viii. Uses that comprise a large component of Commercial and Retail business uses or
              other non-industrial uses are not located on land that is otherwise intended for
              Industrial business uses;

        ix. Home-based business uses that contribute to the economy of Noosa, but do not
            reduce surrounding residential amenity or environmental values; and

        x. energy efficiency and water conservation principles.

Comment: The proposal does not include a “large component” of commercial or retail uses (as
described in Item viii of this DEO). The tasting area is associated with the distillery (an approved
industrial land use) and is not considered significant in the context of the DEO. Whilst Council has
confirmed that the tasting area comprises its own specific use, it should be noted that the
operation, use and function of this part of the building will be primarily related to the distillery.
The sale and tasting of goods is considered to be complimentary to and typical of a modern
distillery.

The Industrial Business Uses DEO is considered to be of relevance to the proposed
development. This DEO is set out as follows:

        Industrial uses and extractive and mining uses—
        i. provides suitable levels of service and employment to the community;
        ii. promotes the sale of local products;
        iii. is predominantly low key, clean and service-orientated;
        iv. is underpinned by environmentally sustainable development practices that avoid
              adverse impacts on immediate or surrounding settlements or ecosystems;
        v. develops and operates in a sustainable manner, including prudent use of non-
              renewable resources;
        vi. results in a proportion of Noosa’s higher order needs being fulfilled by facilities
              located in other areas, particularly the key regional centre of Maroochydore;
        vii. protects industrial areas, valuable extractive and mineral resources and associated
              heavy vehicle haul routes, particularly from the encroachment of incompatible
              development, for the ongoing benefit of the community; and
        viii. utilises water and energy efficient practices.

Comment: This DEO is only relevant to the extent that the land is zoned Industry and there may
be perceived concerns with the protection of industrial land for industrial uses and other
compatible uses.
