DEO: COMMERCIAL & RETAIL USES
A hierarchy of centres with a range of Commercial and Retail business uses provide suitable levels of amenity,
service and access to the community, consistent with the community’s location and needs and is based on:-

         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;

         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;

Comment: The proposed Retail Business - Type 2 Shop & Salon (Orange on Sunrise) is a restaurant (take-away)
which caters predominantly to the neighbouring local communities of Tinbeerwah, Doonan, and surrounds. The
proposed use provides an alternative shop and take-away facility for the Hinterland residents and visitors.

The long existing shop on the site has been retrofitted to create a take-away shop that is reflective of the rural
scale and character of the community. The proposed development provides an informal atmosphere and
positively contributes to the natural low-key outdoor appeal of Noosa and its Hinterland.
