2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 3 - Final New Noosa Plan Part 7 Track Change version

                         (ii)    a range of architectural elements within the context of a sub­tropical architectural theme;
                         (iii)   varied roof heights, that cumulatively make a positive contribution to an interesting skyline;
                         (iv)    varied setbacks which create opportunities for both landscaping and design variety; and
                         (v)     retention of mature trees and the provision of new landscaping which create attractive spaces between
                                 buildings.

           (f)    The Noosaville local plan area maintains its roles for both the provision of much of the commercial, retail,
                  administrative, industrial and social needs of the coastal urban portion of Noosa Shire and as a major focus area for
                  visitor accommodation and services.
           (g)    The Noosa Business Centre off Eenie Creek Road is a Major regional activity centre identified in the South East
                  Queensland Regional Plan 2017 providing a wide range of centre activities to meet the local needs of communities
                  across Noosa Shire, acknowledging that the Principal regional activity centre at Maroochydore provides the highest
                  order and a greater range of goods and services.
           (h)    The Noosa Business Centre is the major focus for major employment generating development and growth in Noosa
                  Shire, particularly in the sectors of education, health and wellness, digital economy, environmental industries and
                  professional services. Development at the Noosa Business Centre occurs in a staged manner following the
                  construction of the internal circulation road system, creation of an open aired activated village green space for
                  significant community gatherings and the provision of land for a sub­regional transit centre that has the potential to
                  function as an integrated public transport node, with pedestrian and bicycle paths linking with nearby urban areas. The
                  further development of the transit facility will be subject to further investigation and planning with the State Government;
           (i)    In the vicinity of Gibson Road and Mary Street, the District centre zone provides a range of business, entertainment and
                  community activities to service the needs of residents and visitors in a form and scale that does not detract from the
                  role and function of the Noosa Business Centre.
           (j)    Development in the District centre zone provides improved streetscape and landscape treatments, active street
                  frontages and improved public spaces and residential development above street level.
           (k)    Development at the edges of the District centre zone is less intensive with a lifestyle or health and wellbeing focus,
                  providing a transition to adjoining residential areas. These transitional uses also include offices which do not generate
                  large volumes of traffic or early morning / late evening noise.
           (l)    Residential development in the District Centre zone occurs in the form of small dwellings in conjunction with a non­
                  residential use.
           (m)    Development in the Neighbourhood centre zone is a focal point for surrounding residential neighbourhoods and
                  provides lower order goods and services to support the day­to­day needs of residents and visitors.
           (n)    Health and medical facilities develop in the Noosa Business Centre, the Community Facilities zone in Goodchap
                  Street and the Mary – Thomas Street Health and Wellbeing Precinct.
           (o)    Development in the Low impact industry zone and the Medium impact industry zone accommodates a broad range of
                  industry and business uses, avoiding negative impacts on the amenity of nearby residential areas.
           (p)    Activities in industry zones provide important services and products to the community and provide a range of
                  employment types.
           (q)    Development fronting Eumundi­Noosa Road, Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive provides high quality buildings,
                  landscaping and integrated signage that improves the visual appearance of these roads as entrances to Noosaville.
           (r)    Development in the Low Density Housing zone primarily accommodates permanent residents in detached dwelling
                  houses.
           (s)    Development in the Medium Density and High Density Housing zones accommodates a greater diversity in housing
                  types including dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential care facilities.
           (t)    Development for visitor accommodation may locate in residential zones near Noosa River generally north of Gibson
                  Road and along Weyba Road identified in the Short Stay Area Map.
           (u)    Development ensures permanent residents of Noosaville enjoy high levels of residential amenity and accessibility to
                  urban services and recreational opportunities.
           (v)    Retirement living is established in Lake Weyba Drive and Walter Hay Drive (north).
           (w)    Development for home based businesses including bed and breakfast accommodation may locate in residential
                  zones.
           (x)    New residential development in or adjacent to activity centres includes a high proportion of small dwellings.
           (y)    Development in the Community facilities zone provides facilities and services that support the Noosaville community
                  as well as the broader Shire, including Noosa Hospital, educational facilities, library, airport and other local services.
