1.3.        SURROUNDING CONTEXT
The land immediately surrounding the site is characterised by a mix of land uses, which reflects the changing
nature of the locality. The site provides a transition from the industrial uses to the west and more intense
commercial and retail uses to the east.
Specifically, the nearby uses include the following:

•    North – The site immediately opposite Eenie Creek Road includes car dealerships including Toyota
     Noosa, Honda Noosa and Noosa Kia. There are also supporting car maintenance and servicing outlets
     including Tint a car Noosa and Ultra Tune Noosa. A small portion of the precinct consists of home
     improvements including Reece Plumbing, Poolside Noosa and Noosa Glass.

•    East – Directly to the east is the Noosa Civic shopping centre with over 100 speciality stores, fringe
     commercial premises and a service station. Two-storey office buildings are opposite the site and
     accessed just off the western entry road to Noosa Civic . Directly north of the Noosa Civic shopping
     centre are a series of related buildings with predominantly large format retail stores including Pillow Talk
     and Pet Barn, plus an F45 gym.

•    South – Directly to the south of the site is the Noosa Fish Providores and organic markets, plus Noosa
     Heads brewery. Further south towards Rene Street are trade supplies including Tradelink, Hayman’s
     Electrical and RapidClean Sunshine Coast. More recently a Storage First warehouse has opened at 78
     Rene Street and which include a future stage of a similar building. Immediately south of the site, a
     medical centre is proposed but not yet approved.

•    West – Immediately west of the site are automotive services, various building and construction material
     fabrication and other trade supplies. This includes a number of industrial warehouses including Boral
     Concrete, Kennards Hire Noosaville, Noosa Metal Fabrication and Omega Noosa Collison Repairs.
