      and services;
p)    Noosaville is one of the principal visitor destinations in Noosa;
u)    Variety in the built form is emphasised through the historical development of the locality
      and the many architectural styles;
dd)   The mixed urban character of Noosaville is maintained through the retention of older
      building forms and the introduction of new buildings that complement old building forms by
      incorporating low rise, low scale, well articulated buildings, lightweight building materials
      and pitched roof forms that contribute to the skyline;
ee)   Significant retail and commercial uses provide residents and visitors with a range of low to
      high order goods and services;
qq)   For the Visitor Mixed Use Zone - Business Uses are integrated with Multiple housing and
      visitor accommodation where development -

              immediate area and foreshore users;
      iv.     respects the existing residential amenity of visitors and residents within and
              surrounding the development;
      v.      includes entertainment and dining activities which may operate into the evenings and
              include live music which creates a vibrant atmosphere;

      vii.    provides for parking that is generally accessed via shared driveways or from roads
              other than Gympie Terrace; and
      viii.   is designed to ensure car parking does not visually dominate street frontages;
Specific Outcomes
The proposal complies with the relevant Specific Outcomes for the locality and zone, as the
development will provide additional appropriate Business Uses on the ground floor, with frontage
to the street, creating an active building frontage with visual interest for pedestrians. The
development is consistent with the bulk and scale of buildings within the locality, maintaining the
visual continuity and pattern of buildings along Thomas Street, and presenting a high quality and
interesting streetscape via an improvement in the existing built form of the building. Specifically,
the proposal is considered to comply with the following relevant Specific Outcomes of the
Noosaville Locality Code:
Specific Outcome O59
      Uses on the ground floor, with frontage to the street, are a mix of residential uses,
      recreation facilities, shops, restaurants and cafes that create active building fronts
