 7.2.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes

     Noosa Heads
     (1)   The purpose of the Noosa Heads local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
           development within the Noosa Heads local plan area.
     (2)   The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosa Heads local plan area:
           (a)    The Noosa Heads local plan area provides a diverse coastal urban area with a strong focus on tourism, and a unique
                  character and identity framed by a vegetated backdrop to the built environment, the coast, watercourses and the iconic
                  Noosa National Park.
           (b)    Development is limited to land within the urban boundary to protect and reinforce the character and identity of Noosa
                  Heads, provide efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained land and protect the surrounding
                  significant environmental areas.
           (c)    The natural landform and landscape i s retained with Noosa Hill being the predominant landscape feature forming a
                  skyline and vegetated backdrop, without the intrusion of built form, when viewed from beaches, parks and other public
                  spaces, residential neighbourhoods and visitor accommodation. In order to protect these important visual qualities
                  the preservation of existing vegetation is critical. Accordingly, in areas of high elevation and visibility development is
                  restricted wherever possible and if necessary excluded to ensure the existing character is maintained.
           (d)    Development is sited and designed to retain the key natural environment, landscape and built form elements and
                  significant views and vistas that contribute to the vegetated setting and character of the Noosa Heads local plan area,
                  including:
                  (i)     Noosa Main Beach, Little Cove and more secluded beaches of the Noosa National Park;
                  (ii)    Noosa River, Weyba Creek, foreshore areas and associated riparian communities;
                  (iii)   Noosa Spit, Noosa Woods, Weyba Creek Bushland Reserve, foreshore parkland including the Lions Park and
                          Weyba Park;
                  (iv)    Noosa Headland and the vegetated hillslopes that frame Noosa Heads, Laguna Bay, Noosa Inlet and Hastings
                          Street;
                  (v)     heathland areas of Noosa National Park and Girraween Estate; and
                  (vi)    vegetated drainage lines through residential estates and private land with native vegetation stands.
