               AO7.6
               Boundary setbacks provide space for trees between buildings.
               The proposal is consistent with the Local Plan Area Code, with the built form generally reflective
               of its beachside character in terms of roof form, use of a mix of light weight and textured external
               building materials providing variation in texture, detailing and articulation. Extensive use of
               balconies has been made and while some are partly enclosed to provide shading from the western
               afternoon sun, they together achieve some visual interest. A 600-900mm wide awning has also
               been provided around the perimeter of the building apart from the western side where roofed
               balconies have been incorporated.
               The proposed building setbacks as now amended provide reasonable opportunities for
               landscaping and planting of trees to visually frame and soften the built form consistent with existing
               development in the area.
               3.3.2 Zone Code
               The subject site is zoned Innovation and is intended to be developed for a range of innovation,
               creative and knowledge based industries as set out in the overall and performance outcomes of
               the Innovation Zone Code below:
               2(a) Uses are facilitated that promote knowledge creation, education and entrepreneurial
                    activity that diversify our economy such as science and technology, research and
                    development and other innovative activities.
                (b) Development includes advanced manufacturing technologies, servicing or research and
                    analysis related to industries which are identified as priority sectors in the Noosa Local
                    Economic Plan to enhance the local and regional economy.
               PO1
               Development provides for a range of innovative, creative and knowledge based industries and
               business activities that diversify our economy and offers locally based employment opportunities.

               Editor’s Note: examples of suitable industries above include:
                     • additive manufacturing (3D printing)
                     • robotics and automation
                     • advanced materials
                     • artificial intelligence and machine learning
                     • nanotechnologies
                     • biotechnologies
               AO1
               Development is aligned with and ensures employment opportunities are offered in one or more
               the following priority sectors:
                        a) digital economy;
                        b) creative industries;
                        c) knowledge industries;
                        d) science, research and technology;
                        e) environmental industries; and
                        f) education and training.
               PO2
               The business use or activity is of a scale and intensity compatible with existing development
               nearby.
               PO3
               Development ensures that:
                  a)employment opportunities are offered in the digital economy; and
                  b)economic opportunities for knowledge based businesses are broadened through
                     specialised buildings being established in the zone.
               Both the overall outcomes 2(a), (b) and performance outcomes PO1 & PO3 of the Innovation Zone
               Code seek uses in the Innovation zone to include a range of innovative, creative and knowledge
