2.          THE PROPOSAL
2.1.        OVERVIEW
The Development Application seeks approval for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use for an
‘Undefined Use’ for the Noosa Marketplace which comprises an integrated mixed-use precinct for a range of
uses.
The proposal is an integrated mixed-use development, involving a catalytic function of the large format retail
showroom as anchor to support ‘finer grain’ uses and to provide a diversity of customers and visitors to the
site. The proposed Noosa Marketplace will involve a range of mixed-use tenancies over 4 buildings. The
design of the development will complement the surrounding land uses and provide additional product variety
and employment opportunities for the area.

2.2.        LAND USES AND BUILT FORM
The proposal represents a high-quality design outcome into the context and site characteristics of Noosaville
locality and Shire Business Centre zoning. The proposal will provide a range of services that supports the
general public needs and enhances consumer choice.
The proposal is characterised by 2 anchor tenancies and 23 smaller tenancies with varied external façade
treatments and finishes. The architectural design of the development will comprise up to a total of 25
tenancies, comprising a mixture of large format retail, business/ retail incubator, co-working office facilities
and food & beverages. Given the large extent of the site area, the proposed showrooms and tenancies have
the ability to incorporate innovative and spacious large format retail and mixed-use business / retail
tenancies. The proposed buildings will provide significant pedestrian walkways with awning structures at the
main building frontages and along the entries to each tenancy. Views of the development are included within
Figure 7 below. The site has high exposure to the entry of Hofmann Drive and the development adopts
innovative urban design and landscape treatment and shade areas along the street frontages, setback areas
and within the car parking areas.
The proposed refined architectural design offers a variety of tenancies across the site. This enhances a
comfortable environment and walkability for the users within the centre and connecting to the adjoining
shopping and retail precincts along Hofmann Drive.
The land use mix seeks to continue the intent of the Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs) by providing
large format retail, business and office use, food and beverages as transitional land uses between the
adjacent industry and the core of the Shire Business Centre Zone. The mixed uses allow for street activation
of Hofmann Drive and internally throughout the building layout.
Below Table 2 provides a table of land use typology and business use and use class classifications in
accordance with the Noosa Plan 2006.
