4.        ASSESSMENT BENCHMARK – LOCAL PLANNING
          INSTRUMENT
The Noosa Plan 2006 (“Planning Scheme”) is the local planning instrument that is used to assess the
proposed development. The following sections of this report provides an assessment of the proposed
development against the assessment benchmarks under the Planning Scheme.

4.1.      LAND USE DEFINITIONS
The flexibility sought through the proposed mixed-use ‘market place’ concept means there are a variety of
potential uses proposed by the overall development. Further, these uses do not fit perfectly within the
current planning scheme definitions, especially the types of potential uses being proposed for the smaller
scale incubator type spaces. Consequently, an undefined use ‘Noosa Marketplace’ has been proposed by
this application and is outlined below:

     Noosa Marketplace’ meaning an integrated mixed-use precinct for a range of uses comprising:

     •   Retail Showroom – premises not less than 300m2 per tenancy used for the display and sale of large
