Zone Controls
•    Under the Major Centre Zone Code, the Purpose and overall outcomes include:
     • Section 6.4.1.2(2)(a) – “The major centres of Noosa Business Centre and Noosa
        Junction are the most significant centres for the Noosa Shire. These major
        centres service sub­regional catchments with complementary, not competing
        roles and functions thereby not compromising the viability of each centre”.
     • Section 6.4.1.2(2)(b) – “Development complements the higher order services at
        the principal regional activity centre at Maroochydore; which is the focal
        point for employment and services on the Sunshine Coast, with provision of
        high-order retail and hospitality functions and cultural and entertainment
        facilities catering to local and more distant communities, including the Noosa
        community”.
     • Section 6.4.1.2(2)(c) – “Major centres contain the highest order of community,
        retail and commercial functions including entertainment and business
        activities, as well as transport services in Noosa Shire”.
     • Section 6.4.1.2(2)(d) – “Development does not compromise the hierarchy of
        centres across the Noosa Shire, whether as a result of the impacts from
        individual developments or the potential cumulative impacts of multiple
        developments”.
     • Section 6.4.1.2(2)(f) – “Major centres provide a variety of retail uses including
        shopping centres, full-line supermarkets, specialty retail shops, food and drink
        outlets such as cafes and restaurants, personal services, local offices and a
        range of entertainment activities. Noosa Business Centre contains a higher
        order of retail than Noosa Junction with a shopping centre anchored by a
        single full­size discount department store and a full line supermarket.
        Complementary retail uses include large format retail showrooms and a
        separate small format supermarket. Noosa Junction complements the Noosa
        Business Centre with specialty retail stores, supermarkets and a variety of
        entertainment uses such as restaurants, bars, cafes and cinema, catering to
        the local community and visitors”.
     • Section 6.4.1.2(2)(g) – “Entertainment activities contribute to the economic
        activity and vibrancy of the major centres both day and night”.
     • The overall outcomes with respect to development within the VMU precinct
        include at Section 6.4.1.2(4):
        • “ (e) Development includes a mix of small format retail such as specialty
            shops, cafes and restaurants with opportunities for small multiple
            dwellings located above ground level”.
        • “ (f) A small format supermarket, entertainment activities such as cinemas,
            hotel, bars, as well as short-term accommodation opportunities and
            community uses develop in the precinct”.
