 7.2.3.2 Purpose and overall outcomes

     Tewantin
     (1)   The purpose of the Tewantin local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
           development within the Tewantin local plan area.
     (2)   The following overall outcomes apply to the Tewantin local plan area:
           (a)    Tewantin is a vibrant yet traditional town strongly influenced by its heritage and its riverside setting. Framed by national
                  park and waterways, its character and identity reflect its location and heritage as a gateway to the Noosa River, the
                  hinterland, Noosa North Shore and the Great Sandy Region.
           (b)    Development within the Tewantin local plan area is limited to land within the urban boundary, so as to provide a
                  defined edge to the town to protect and reinforce the character and identity of Tewantin, provide efficient provision of
                  infrastructure and services, avoid constrained land and protect the surrounding ecologically important areas.
           (c)    Development in the local plan area is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas, retain the landscape
                  and built form elements and significant views and vistas to external elements, that contributes to the setting, character
                  and identity of Tewantin as a town with a strong sense of place and association with the past. Valued elements
                  include:
                         (i)     the Noosa River, its banks and riparian qualities;
                         (ii)    Wooroi Creek and the adjoining bushland reserve;
                         (iii)   Lake Doonella and the adjoining Doonella Wetlands Nature Refuge;
                         (iv)    Heritage Park Bushland Reserve;
                         (v)     open space and landscape values of the golf club and sports complex;
                         (vi)    landscape and heritage values associated with RSL Memorial Park; and
                         (vii)   views to Mt Tinbeerwah, Mt Cooroy, Tewantin National Park and Noosa North Shore.

           (d)    The form and scale of development is generally low key with buildings that are low rise and cover a comparatively
                  small area of the site leaving significant areas for landscaping and private open space.
           (e)    Tewantin town centre functions as a district activity centre providing a wide range of commercial, retail and community
                  activities to service and provide for the needs of residents and visitors to the area and local employment.
           (f)    Tewantin town centre includes mixed­use developments incorporating residential uses within the District Centre zone
