                                                                            MCU to establish Retail Business – Type 2
                                                                                       1 Kingsgate Drive, Tinbeerwah




DEO: COMMUNITY USES & FACILITIES
An adequate range of community services and facilities supporting the physical, safety, artistic and social
needs of the community are equitably distributed having regard to the—

         i) location and density of housing;

         ii) location of transport infrastructure;

         iii) location of business centres;

         iv) social, economic and demographic patterns of Noosa; and

         v) function of towns and villages.

Comment: Beyond the Business and Neighbourhood Centres of Cooroy, Tewantin, and Eumundi, there are no
restaurant and/or take-away shops within the local catchment of the Tinbeerwah and Doonan surrounds.

The proposed Retail Business - Type 2 Shop & Salon (Orange on Sunrise) services these Hinterland communities.
The location of the proposed use is highly accessible due to its proximity to the major neighbourhood transport
corridors of Cooroy Noosa Road and Sunrise Road. The nature of the proposed development is in keeping with
the character and atmosphere of the community. The success of the existing non-conforming use is evidence of
the use being supported by the resident Hinterland population. The restaurant is a favourite of the local
population and promotes the values of Noosa


DEO: TOURISM
A tourism industry is development and sustained which—

         i) is based on Noosa’s natural assets including the subtropical climate, the beaches, watercourses and
         foreshores, and the National Parks and bushland;

         ii) fosters an appreciation and understanding of heritage;

         iii) focuses on the coastal localities of Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach,
         but provides complementary rural visitor accommodation;

         iv) offers visitors a range of experiences and accommodation types;

         v) contributes to the economic wellbeing of Noosa; and

         vi) achieves ecological, economic and social sustainability.

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 development not only contributes to the economic wellbeing of Noosa but also provides residents and
visitors to the area an alternative venue which is reflective of the rural scale and character of the community.
Orange on Sunrise provides an informal atmosphere and positively contributes to the natural low-key outdoor
                                                                                                                 20
