 6.5.1.2              Purpose and overall outcomes

 Purpose and overall outcomes
 (1)     The purpose of the Low Impact Industry zone is to provide for—
        (a)   service industry and low impact industry; and
        (b)   other uses and activities that—
              (i)     support industry activities; and
              (ii)    do not compromise the future use of premises for industry activities.

 (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Low Impact industry zone are as follows: ­
        (a)   development facilitates the efficient use of land for small scale and low impacting industry activities and supporting ancillary
              uses;
        (b)   incompatible uses, or uses which are more appropriately accommodated in other zones are avoided to protect land for low
              impact industry activities and to ensure the continued efficient operation and viability of existing and future industry activities;
        (c)   development avoids and mitigates impacts such as noise, odour, dust and other waste on the surrounding area and
              adverse impacts on the natural environment;
        (d)   development does not compromise the function and viability of business centres or the Noosa Shire centres hierarchy;
        (e)   new uses are located, designed and managed to be compatible with surrounding uses and development;
        (f)   retail sales more appropriately located in business centres, such as shops and showrooms are avoided;
        (g)   small scale retail sales and administrative uses are ancillary to, and have a direct relationship with, the industry activity on
              site;
        (h)   food and drink outlets occur only where directly ancillary to and associated with a bonafide industry activity on­site, are
              limited in scale and extent, and do not locate on the western side of Gateway Drive, Noosaville or on land fronting Taylor
              Court, Cooroy;
        (i)   entertainment activities are limited to theatres in the form of film making studios or recording studios;
        (j)   offices are trade­related only and do not compromise or compete with the Noosa Shire Centres Hierarchy;
        (k)   warehouses for self­storage facilities are avoided to protect industrial land from underutilisation;
        (l)   caretaker's accommodation:
              (i)      occurs only where directly associated with an industry activity on site and there is a demonstrated operational need
                      for full­time caretaking;
              (ii)    is ancillary to the primary non­residential use on the site and a small­scale component of the building or premises,
                      subsidiary in size, form and function to the principal non­residential use of the premises; and
              (iii)   is occupied by direct employees of the principal non­residential use of the premises;
