           (g)    Development is consistent with the traditional built form of low rise and low density buidings comprising timber and tin,

           (h)    Retail and commercial business uses provide for the immediate needs of local residents and visitors and, in
                  conjunction with home­based and industrial business enterprises, provide employment consistent with the scale,
                  character and identity of the village.
           (i)    Well designed, locally appropriate accommodation and other tourist attractions are compatible with and enhance the
                  landscape character, heritage and environmental values of the community and maintain the peaceful, small town
                  heritage, rural produce and outdoor recreation.
           (j)    Development retains strong historical connections to the respective community by:
                  (i)       limiting the extent of demolition and adaptively reusing early to mid­twentieth century buildings;
                  (ii)      complementing heritage character through the use of traditional building forms and materials, such as timber
                            and tin, that do not overwhelm the existing fabric of buildings on site, adjoining sites, or within the streetscape;
                            and
                  (iii)     appropriate design elements including vertical and horizontal articulation and suspended floor construction,
                            responding to the landform and in keeping with the Queensland vernacular.

           (k)    Development is supported by an open space network to meet the outdoor recreation needs of the local community
                  and facilitate safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections within each village.

                   (ii)     Pomona maintains its role as a local centre offering a range of convenience goods and services to support a
                            growing rural and village community. Some expansion of local business, residential and rural residential areas
                            is provided for.
                   (iii)    Business uses in Pomona expand in a form and extent that maintains a compact town centre with growth
                            occurring only within the Local centre zone. Residents of Pomona rely on larger centres such as Cooroy and
                            Tewantin to meet higher order needs.
                   (iv)     Development preserves, and is sympathetic to, buildings that contribute to the character of the village, the
                            landscape setting and the attractive entry points to the village including the scenic amenity of Hill Street and
                            Reserve Street.
                   (v)      The low scale heritage character and key local architectural elements are retained and enhanced including the
                            Art Deco shopfronts along Memorial Avenue and Federation style influences.
                   (vi)     Reserve Street, Memorial Avenue and Station Street are enhanced as attractive and pedestrian friendly main
                            streets with active frontages and on­street parking to minimise vehicular driveways interrupting the footpath.
                   (vii)    Important local landmark and heritage character buildings and places, including the Majestic Theatre, Noosa
                            Museum, the Post Office, the Police Station, the former Noosa Shire Council Chambers, the School of Arts Hall
                            and Pomona Hotel are retained and the scale, orientation and design of adjoining development is sympathetic
                            to the existing arrangement of buildings and landscape setting.
                   (viii)   Development respects the distinct role of the traditional town centre to the west of the railway line and the
                            complementary role of business and community functions to the east of the railway line, including small scale
                            commercial services and low impact industrial uses.
                   (ix)     The Low impact industry zone provides a range of lot sizes that cater for low impact industrial uses set within

                            including between the western and eastern sides of the railway line.

            (n)    For development in Cooran:
                   (i)      Cooran remains a small rural village with intimate character and identity, primarily servicing the local
