                 Issue – Built Form and Urban Design
                 Under the Strategic Framework, at part 3.3.5(s)(D), states
                 Development of the Noosa Business Centre is to be consistent with the Noosa-style village
                 character incorporating subtropical design with low-scale pavilion style buildings at human
                 scale with high amenity landscaping breaking up built form and linking to a village green and
                 an open space corridor. Large boxlike buildings are avoided. (emphasis added)
                 Under the Major Centre Design Code, overall outcome (2)(I) states:
                 Development creates vibrant and safe activity centres, with attractive and functional buildings
                 and streets with integrated high amenity landscaping, open space and public places.
                 Overall outcome (2)(p), states:
                 Development is well designed reflecting: a subtropical; 'Noosa' style with emphasis on indoor
                 and outdoor connections, variety in façade treatment through articulation and materials,
                 creation of shade on public spaces and landscaping around sites and on buildings in
                 accordance with PSP5 Sustainable Design Code; and best practice in sustainable design,
                 including excellence in energy and water conservation and resilience to the impacts of climate
                 change in accordance with 9.4.6 Sustainable Design Code and PSP5 Sustainable Building
                 Design.
                 For the Noosa Business Centre, overall outcome (3)(c), states:
                 Development occurs in distinct settings defined by:
                       i.    A network of open space with distinguishable development precincts;
                       ii. supplementary landscaping treatments and a central community village green space;
                       iii. distinctive and subtropical design elements appropriate to the precinct and the setting
                            and which are immediately recognisable as having a ‘Noosa’ style.
                 Overall outcome (3)(f), states:
                 Buildings are distinctive in design and interspersed with attractive and low key informal spaces
                 that retain existing mature vegetation.
                 For the Village Mixed Use Precinct, overall outcome (b) states:
                 Limited additional retail uses concentrate in the main street which forms the core of the
                 precinct with continuous active street frontages and public realm with a high standard of
                 landscaping providing good amenity and on street parking.
                 Further, overall outcome (c), states:
                 Buildings, where not located on a site identified as having a primary active frontage, develop
                 in a pavilion style allowing for pedestrian permeability and landscaping between buildings to
                 overall create a place recognisable as having a Noosa style.
                 For the High Density Residential Precinct, overall outcome (a) states:
                 The High Density Residential Precinct develops into a modern sub-tropically designed
                 neighbourhood with a high level of amenity, privacy and landscaped open spaces for
                 residents.
