1.2 Surrounding Uses
The subject site is within approximately 300 metres to the nearest bus stop and is within
walking distance to the Prince’s Supa IGA, Noosa Junction Bus Station, the cinema and
numerous other small scale shops. The subject site adjoins vacant lots that are heavily
vegetated. There is an approved duplex development that is located on the neighbouring
site at 33 and 35 Grant Street. There is also an existing duplex development at 21 and 19
Grant Street.


1.3   Site Suitability
The subject site is considered suitable for an intensified scale of development based on the
following:
     • The existing bus network provides excellent accessibility and connectivity to the site
        and links the development to other strategic locations, such as the Noosa township
        and community facilities;
     • The proposal supports State Policy Transit Oriented Principals by providing higher
        density development within close proximity to a key bus transit centre (refer to figure
        2);
