4.0 Planning assessment

4.1 Strategic Outcomes
The following Strategic Outcomes are relevant to the assessment:


3.3.1
          (g)          There is sufficient land to cater for urban development within already committed
                       areas.
3.3.3

                       adversely impact the amenity of residents.
          (c)          Residential development only occurs where it will not prevent or inhibit the conduct of
                       existing land uses that are legitimately located or planned for in that location.
          (e)          A wide range of housing is spread throughout the existing urban areas of Noosa Shire
                       and responds to housing needs associated with factors such as changing
                       demographics, changing composition of households, and lifestyle choices.
