                                                                   ie. Commercial and retail uses,
residential   uses   etc. While it is noted                that all DEOs             are   relevant to all
development, with respect to this appeal, the most pertinent DEOs are:

           .   DEO b)    -
                             Commercial & Retail Uses;
           .   DEO c)
                    Community Uses and Facilities

7.5.5.1 DEO   b) relates to commercial and                           retail   uses   and establishes     a

hierarchy of centres for the Shire and provides for development in
appropriate locations. The DEO also focuses on centres having suitable
levels of amenity, service and access to the community. In terms of Peregian
Beach, Section b) vi is relevant and states:


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


7.5.5.2 The supporting information (boxed text) for this DEO outlines a number
of ’principles’. These are as follows:


           .   Residents and visitors use commercial & retail facilities on a
               day-day basis. The character and design of the establishments
               in which such business facilities are conducted are therefore a
               significant influence on resident and visitor perception of the
               Shire.
           .   Features such as human scale, development integrated with
               surrounding built form and landscape fabric, visual relationships
               between indoor spaces and outdoor spaces, low key informal
               atmospheres and low stress traffic environment playa key role
               in characterising commercial and retail facilities in Noosa shire.


           .


           .
               Protecting the long term viability of the Shire business Centre
               may mean setting aside short term needs to ensure the
               medium-long term implementation of the centre. No other
               centres or major retail and commercial developments are
               intended within he coastal urban settlements, with the
               exception of those servicing predominately neighbourhoods
               and local communities.
           .   Existing centre in the shire serve different roles and will strive to
               find a market edge, strengthen their market positions and
               reinforce their individual identifies as a means of retaining their
               competitiveness within the established retail hierarchy."
