3         CENTRES NETWORK ASSESSMENT
3.1       Noosa Centres Hierarchy
It is advised that the proposed development will be assessed under the Noosa Plan. This
planning scheme articulates a centres hierarchy that comprises:
• Shire Business Centre;
• Business Centres;
• Neighbourhood centres; and
• Village Centres.
The Shire Business Centre is intended to be the primary focus of business and employment
activity within the Noosa Shire. The Shire Business Centre includes a diverse mix of land uses
including retail, commercial, industrial and community facilities. Noosa Civic, located within the
Shire Business Centre is the highest order retail centre within Noosa Shire, being anchored by a
full line Woolworths supermarket and Big W discount Department store.
The Business Centres (located at Noosa Junction, Noosaville; Tewantin and Cooroy) provide a
lesser scale of retail and commercial facilities to the Shire Business Centre, with their size
intended to be limited to ensure the primacy of the Shire Business Centre.
Neighbourhood and Village centres, of which Peregian Beach is one, cater to local level retail and
commercial needs. The Peregian Beach neighbourhood centre provides local retail and
commercial services to the eastern beaches communities of Peregian Beach, Marcus Beach and
Castaways Beach.
