As we purchased our property on Noosa Hill specifically to be 'within 
walking distance to everything' and so reduce our use of the car, we are 
very disappointed in the development of Noosa Civic and the demise of 
The Junction.
Almost nobody can walk to Noosa Civic as there is almost no residential 
development nearby, and as with most new shopping/business developments 
it is designed for drivers of cars, not pedestrians.
We now have to drive for 20 minutes to get to our bank or other 
facilities such as Centrelink.
 From our point of view, further development of The Junction, a 
pre-existing 'hub', would have been preferable.
Noosa is, by Council design, a small town with a population cap to 
ensure it stays that way, but now has multiple widespread shopping 
precincts with the most remote and unwieldy being Noosa Civic. Further 
development of Civic, especially as it is not even under one air 
conditioned roof for summer comfort, is ridiculous, in our humble opinion.
