The proposal is largely reflective of the anticipated scale of development in close proximity to the site,
including the Noosa Civic Centre, other retail tenancies and low impact industry uses.

The purpose of the Shire Business Centre zone is as follows:

        “ It is a Major Activity Centre for the purpose of the SEQ Regional Plan, and the principle
        business centre for Noosa, servicing Noosa-wide business and employment needs by
        providing for a wide range of Business Uses as well as administrative, community, and
        open space functions… “

The proposed development is consistent with the intent of the Shire Business Centre Zone as the
development comprises mixed retail uses and opportunities.
