             Given the above and the nature of the surrounding land uses including Klinge Scaffolding (low impact industry)
             and Ecom Noosa ( commercial business office), consideration should be given to include the subject land in a
             Local Centre Zone or similar to allow for a range of business, residential and community activity uses.
             The location is on a main road and the proposed uses would not impact upon the adjoining residential uses
             and the land is located near other community uses to the south.
             The use of the site for purely retail uses is not supported and specific provision could be drafted to exclude
             these retail uses if necessary.
 20867871    The proposed zoning of community facilities over 90 & 88A Goodchap St, Noosaville is supported provided            The site has a current development approval which allows for the flexible use of the site and this is       That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission.

             This flexibility would enable other use to be considered for the site should the Noosa Business Centre provide
