Having regard to the most relevant overall outcomes for the proposed development, the following
comments are made:
   • the proposed development is compatible with the vision for the SBC, will maintain the safety
       of people, will not have a significant impact upon amenity and will not have a significant impact
       upon the natural environment given the land is committed for development under the SBC
       Map (outcome (a));
   • the proposed development is consistent with the Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP), but is
       subject to an Infrastructure Agreement (Attachment 2) discussed further below (outcome (b));
   • the proposed development is in the Urban Footprint as shown on Map ZM8 (outcome (c));
   • the proposed development is for the future development of the Noosa Shire Business Centre
       and is to be made development ready for the benefit of the Noosa area (outcomes (i) & (k));
