2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
Noosa Village Shopping complex was originally approved 28 September 1995 through a
rezoning approval. Extensions to the shopping centre were approved by the Planning and
Environment Court on 8 August 2001. Since that time there have been numerous changes to the
approval which have included new toilets, additional landscaping and shade structures, with the
most recent change issued on 2 November 2006.
Although an extension application was decided by the Planning and Environment Court, Council
is the responsible entity for a minor change in accordance with the requirements of S78 (3) (b) of
the Planning Act 2016.
2.2. Site Description
The site known as Noosa Village shopping complex was developed in the 1990’s and is located
between Mary Street and Gibson Road. The complex comprises a Woolworths supermarket and
numerous smaller tenancies, with associated car parking. In addition to on-site parking, the site
has an arrangement with the Villa Noosa/Dan Murphy’s site to utilise 31 of their car spaces. The
two sites are under the one ownership.
