Even though the bulk of the showroom tenancies are proposed within the drafted Showroom
Precinct, the applicant’s definition of showroom (large shops) is inconsistent. The strategic intent
acknowledges the hierarchy of regional centres and that higher order needs such as large format
shops/retail are located outside the Shire.
The draft Noosa Plan allows some additional retail when compared to the current Noosa Plan as
set out in the following Table 7:
