appropriate to the centre role and function and district catchment.
b) Development complements and does not undermine, the role and function of the major centres of Noosa Junction and the
Noosa Business Centre.
c) Development services the needs of the community and visitors and includes shopping centres and full-line supermarkets (where
there is a demonstrated need), specialty retail, commercial, residential, office, personal services, health, community and small-
scale entertainment and recreation uses compatible with the centre’s role and function.
d) Development contributes to the economic activity and vibrancy of the business centre.
e) Residential uses occur in conjunction with a non-residential use in a mixed-use format and support the predominant business
function of the zone.
f) Development integrates with the low rise landscaped character, built form and layout of the centre and creates a pleasant
community feel.
g) Development has a high level of architectural merit and contributes positively to the activation of the street and the character of
the centre.
h) Development reinforces the traditional ‘main street’ character and scale of development in the centre.

j) Residential uses provide housing choice, reduced commuting pressures, creates a mixed-use environment and provides casual
surveillance.
k) Entertainment activities contribute to the economic activity and vibrancy of the business centre both day and night.
l) Development gives priority to improved accessibility for walking and cycling.
m) Buildings are designed and operated to avoid adverse impacts on the amenity of surrounding residential development
associated with noise, lighting, waste, fumes, odours, overlooking public health and safety.
n) Buildings are designed and sited to sensitively respond to the physical characteristics and constraints of land, including coastal
inundation, flooding, landslide hazard and bushfire hazard, where applicable.
o) Development is supported by appropriate infrastructure and essential services, is consolidated, and maximises the efficient use
of existing infrastructure.
p) Development does not compromise the future provision of planned infrastructure.
q) Development provides high levels of sub-tropical and sustainable design including excellence in energy efficiency and water
conservation and is resilient to the impacts of climate change.

7.2.4 Noosaville Local Plan Code
7.2.4.1 Application
This code applies to assessable development:
1. within the Noosaville local plan area as shown on Map ZM-12 - Noosaville contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
2. identified as requiring assessment against the Noosaville local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of
assessment).
7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
Noosaville
1) The purpose of the Noosaville local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of development
within the Noosaville local plan area.
2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosaville local plan area:
a) The Noosaville local plan area is a vibrant urban setting defined by watercourses and bushland edges including the Noosa River,
Eenie Creek, Lake Weyba, Noosa National Park and Tewantin National Park.
b) Development within the Noosaville local plan area is limited to land within the urban boundary so as to protect and reinforce the
character and identity of Noosaville, provide for the efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained land and
protect the surrounding significant environmental areas.
c) Development in the local plan area is sited and designed to retain the key natural environment, landscape and built form
elements, including significant views and vistas to external elements that contribute to the setting, character and identity of the
Noosaville local plan area including:
i) the Noosa River, its foreshore parkland and riparian qualities;
ii) native vegetation, particularly adjoining watercourses;
iii) Keyser Island and Weyba Creek Conservation Parks;
iv) Lake Doonella;
Urban Planners Queensland
[email protected] | upqld.com.au | (07) 3106 3221
Page 61
v) Weyba Creek;
vi) Wallace Park;
vii) Lake Doonella Bushland Reserve;
viii) Noosa National Park, Noosa Headlands, the secondary dune system, Lake Weyba and Noosa North Shore.
d) Development recognises and reinforces the waterfront location and character of the local plan area by providing high quality,
low rise, sub-tropical buildings and landscape design that promote the casual, outdoor lifestyle. Buildings have a strong
relationship with the outdoors through the incorporation of natural materials, verandahs and glazing.
e) Development design and siting responds to the relatively flat topography of Noosaville by creating visual interest and
differentiation in built form through design and the application of:
i) a range of textures, colours, styles and finishes;
ii) a range of architectural elements within the context of a sub-tropical architectural theme;
iii) varied roof heights, that cumulatively make a positive contribution to an interesting skyline;
iv) varied setbacks which create opportunities for both landscaping and design variety; and
v) retention of mature trees and the provision of new landscaping which create attractive spaces between buildings.
f) The Noosaville local plan area maintains its roles for both the provision of much of the commercial, retail, administrative,
industrial and social needs of the coastal urban portion of Noosa Shire and as a major focus area for visitor accommodation and
services.
g) The Noosa Business Centre off Eenie Creek Road is a Major regional activity centre identified in the South East Queensland
Regional Plan 2017 providing a wide range of centre activities to meet the local needs of communities across Noosa Shire,
acknowledging that the Principal regional activity centre at Maroochydore provides the highest order and a greater range of
goods and services.
h) The Noosa Business Centre is the major focus for major employment generating development and growth in Noosa Shire,
particularly in the sectors of education, health and wellness, digital economy, environmental industries and professional
services. Development at the Noosa Business Centre occurs in a staged manner following the construction of the internal
circulation road system, creation of an open aired activated village green space for significant community gatherings and the
provision of land for a sub-regional transit centre that has the potential to function as an integrated public transport node, with
pedestrian and bicycle paths linking with nearby urban areas. The further development of the transit facility will be subject to
further investigation and planning with the State Government;
Urban Planners Queensland
[email protected] | upqld.com.au | (07) 3106 3221
Page 62
i) In the vicinity of Gibson Road and Mary Street, the District centre zone provides a range of business, entertainment and
community activities to service the needs of residents and visitors in a form and scale that does not detract from the role and
function of the Noosa Business Centre.
j) Development in the District centre zone provides improved streetscape and landscape treatments, active street frontages and
improved public spaces and residential development above street level.
k) Development at the edges of the District centre zone is less intensive with a lifestyle or health and wellbeing focus, providing a
transition to adjoining residential areas. These transitional uses also include offices which do not generate large volumes of
traffic or early morning / late evening noise.
l) Residential development in the District Centre zone occurs in the form of small dwellings in conjunction with a non-residential
use.
m) Development in the Neighbourhood centre zone is a focal point for surrounding residential neighbourhoods and provides lower
order goods and services to support the day-to-day needs of residents and visitors.
n) Health and medical facilities develop in the Noosa Business Centre, the Community Facilities zone in Goodchap Street and the
Mary – Thomas Street Health and Wellbeing Precinct.
o) Development in the Low impact industry zone and the Medium impact industry zone accommodates a broad range of industry
and business uses, avoiding negative impacts on the amenity of nearby residential areas.
p) Activities in industry zones provide important services and products to the community and provide a range of employment
types.
q) Development fronting Eumundi-Noosa Road, Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive provides high quality buildings,
landscaping and integrated signage that improves the visual appearance of these roads as entrances to Noosaville.
r) Development in the Low Density Housing zone primarily accommodates permanent residents in detached dwelling houses.
s) Development in the Medium Density and High Density Housing zones accommodates a greater diversity in housing types
including dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential care facilities.
t) Development ensures permanent residents of Noosaville enjoy high levels of residential amenity and accessibility to urban
services and recreational opportunities.
u) Retirement living is established in Lake Weyba Drive and Walter Hay Drive (north).
v) Development for home based businesses including bed and breakfast accommodation may locate in residential zones.
w) New residential development in or adjacent to activity centres includes a high proportion of small dwellings.
Urban Planners Queensland
[email protected] | upqld.com.au | (07) 3106 3221
Page 63
x) Development in the Community facilities zone provides facilities and services that support the Noosaville community as well as
the broader Shire, including Noosa Hospital, educational facilities, library, airport and other local services.
y) Development in the Tourist accommodation zone is for visitor accommodation and associated uses that serve visitors to
preserve and support the role of Noosaville as a tourism focus area.
z) Development in the Tourist Accommodation zone reinforces Gympie Terrace as the primary tourism focus for Noosaville with
vibrant and pedestrian friendly active street frontages providing a range of small-scale boutique retail and outdoor dining
experiences amongst visitor accommodation.
aa) Development in the Tourist Accommodation zone on Gympie Terrace provides a range of well-designed entertainment and
catering activities which may operate late at night and include live music which creates a vibrant atmosphere.
bb) Strong visual and pedestrian linkages to the Noosa River foreshore and surrounding areas are protected.
cc) Noosa River foreshore adjacent to Gympie Terrace is retained as an important recreational space for the local community
and visitors. Development or operational works maintains it as an idyllic place for passive recreation, walking, dog exercise
and access to the Noosa River including ferry stops.
dd) Existing businesses on Noosa River foreshore operate only from commercial jetty lease areas providing watercraft for hire, tour
services and limited ancillary offerings to the community. Slipway services are maintained within the life of any current lease.
ee) Development is supported by a network of open space and pathway connections to meet the needs of the local community and
facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between key destinations within the local plan area. Noosa
River foreshore is maintained as an important pedestrian, cycle and open space link from Lake Doonella to Munna Point.
ff) Development supports and prioritises public transport, including the river ferry and buses and use of motor scooters and
bicycles.
gg) The watercourses bounding Noosaville strongly influence the location of road systems, with entrance points from Tewantin and
Noosa Heads being limited to a few key locations where roads are flanked by vegetation with glimpses to the watercourses.
Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive provide scenic entrances to Noosaville through bushland settings. Development does not
compromise the scenic opportunities afforded by these roads and entrance points.
hh) Key areas of vegetation on both private and public lands are protected for landscape and habitat values.
