           (f)    Cooroy provides local employment in the town centre including small to medium scale retail, commercial and
                  community activities which support surrounding rural enterprises and facilitate artistic, cultural and technology-based
                  business.
           (g)    Future economic growth continues to consolidate retail, business, community and industrial development and
                  diversifies employment opportunities in technology-based businesses, artistic and cultural enterprises, health and

                  private open space.

           (k)    Development retains and maintains the country town feel, traditional built form, heritage and streetscape character of
                  the town centre, with Maple and Emerald Streets enhanced as wide, attractive and pedestrian-friendly main streets.

           (l)    Development in the town centre addresses the street, provides active frontages and complements the traditional
                  streetscape by exhibiting a scale proportional to the character of the streetscape of which it forms part.
                  Development provides and maintains small, typically narrow tenancies of single or double storey elevations with
           (m)
                  continuous, intimate weather protected footpaths and limited driveway accesses interrupting pedestrian paths.
                  Detached housing is typically characterised by a mix of detached traditional Queenslanders and modern homes with
           (n)
                  large setbacks and mature landscaping.
                  Attached housing locates close to the town centre and within mixed-use buildings increasing housing choice.
           (o)
                  Low to medium density semi-attached housing, such as dual occupancies, are interspersed through residential
           (p)
                  neighbourhoods where they offer proximity to transport and services.
                  Relocatable home parks, residential care and retirement facilities provide housing choice allowing ageing residents to
           (q)
                  remain within the Noosa Shire hinterland community.
                  Well designed development for visitor accommodation and tourist attractions are compatible with the landscape and
           (r)
                  streetscape character and form and promote and enhances the core values of Cooroy.

           (s)    schools, medical facilities, sporting and recreational facilities service local residents, the hinterland and beyond.
                  Development is supported by a network of open space to meet the needs of the local community, including the
           (t)    facilitation of safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within the
                  local plan area and particularly across the railway line.
                  Outdoor recreation and sporting facilities west of the railway line and active recreation facilities and green space on the
           (u)    eastern side of the railway are retained to meet the needs of is of the community.
                  Development maintains the traditional grid pattern where possible.
           (v)
                  In the town centre where on-street parking is available, historic laneways are retained and extended where practicable
           (w)    to allow for vehicular access and parking to the rear of buildings preserving footpaths as places for people rather than
                  driveways.
                  Activation of key laneways, including the widening of laneways, is encouraged where pedestrian safety and servicing
           (x)    functions would not be compromised.
