TOURISM
A tourism industry is development and sustained which—

         i) is based on Noosa’s natural assets including the subtropical climate, the beaches, watercourses and
         foreshores, and the National Parks and bushland;

         ii) fosters an appreciation and understanding of heritage;

         iii) focuses on the coastal localities of Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach,
         but provides complementary rural visitor accommodation;

         iv) offers visitors a range of experiences and accommodation types;

         v) contributes to the economic wellbeing of Noosa; and

         vi) achieves ecological, economic and social sustainability.

Comment: Overlooking Sunrise Beach, Chalet & Co proves to be a favourite meeting spot for local residents
and visitors enjoying the natural low-key appeal of the locality. The scale of the café is appropriate for servicing
the adjacent and neighbouring residential developments.

The large majority café patrons are identified as being tourists visiting the Sunrise Beach locality or tourists
residing in the adjacent short term accommodation developments. Their patronage at the café is a secondary
and supplementary activity to their primary purpose of undertaking activities at the beach (swimming, surfing,
kite surfing walking/running, etc.). The proposed café is responsive to and services the needs of the new uses
in the locality.




8.2        Locality and Zone
The subject property is located in the Eastern Beaches Locality within the Attached Housing Zone of the Noosa
Council. The following extracts are taken from the Eastern Beaches Locality Plan in Part 7 of the Noosa Plan
2016 and state the relevant overall outcomes for the Eastern Beaches Locality.


Character Statement Eastern Beaches
         Sunrise Beach is attractive to families and permanent residents, with relatively easy access to the
         beach, local shopping services, the schools in Ben Lexcen Drive and higher order services available in
         Noosa Heads. Sunrise Beach provides housing and unit accommodation, though in the east, proximity
         to the David Low Way and generally lower vegetation forms, means that development is more exposed.
         Sunrise Beach has a high proportion of detached housing, as compared to Sunshine Beach, and that
         housing is characterised by a mix of lightweight and masonry construction, featuring a greater
         proportion of low set brick and tile homes in lower areas and large masonry homes on the ridges with
         ocean and/or lowland views.
