           •   PO11 – Sufficient parking has been provided for the proposed development having
               regard to the Driveways and Parking Code, which is addressed below.

      The proposed development provides for adequate servicing and waste management, provides
      for safety and security of patrons and employees, is highly accessible and will not adversely
      impact upon pedestrian movements.

      In summary, the code specifically anticipates that some industrial uses will occur in other zones,
      which are not specified. This issue also needs to be considered in context with the site and
      surroundings given the two existing service stations to the north and south, which could
      include a car wash.

      More recently, a number of service stations have been approved within the industrial zones
      along Eumundi-Noosa Road along with a commercial car wash in Noosaville as separate
      developments. This location is also a mixed use commercial area, with limited if any industrial
      uses close to Eumundi Noosa Road, despite the industrial zoning. The proposed development
      is compatible in this location and will have no adverse impacts upon the amenity of the locality.

      Business Activities Code
      The purpose of the Business Activities code is to ensure business activities:
         a) are developed within the context of the zone, locality and character in which they are
             located;
         b) are developed in a manner consistent with the Noosa Shire Centres Hierarchy;
         c) provide access to adequate levels of goods and services for existing and future
             populations and contribute positively to the Shire’s economy and employment;
         d) mitigate and manage potential adverse impacts associated with Business Activities on
             residential land uses; and
         e) are of a high quality design which appropriately responds to local character, amenity and
             environmental values.

      The most relevant overall outcomes include:
         a) Business activities are consistent with and reinforce the Noosa Shire Centres Hierarchy.
         b) Business activities are designed and sited in a manner that responds to the zone and
            locality in which they are located, streetscape characteristics and surrounding land uses.
         c) Business activities contribute to the economic vibrancy of the centre in which they are
            located.
         d) Business uses are of a type, scale and intensity suitable to their location, surrounding
            development and character.
         e) Site layout, building design and landscape treatments provides efficient and safe conduct
            of business activities, vehicle access and manoeuvrability.
         f) Building design is of a low key human scale and responds to Noosa’s subtropical climate.
         g) Development integrates with natural landforms and landscape features and protects
            heritage values.
         h) Business activities manage potential negative impacts such as noise, privacy, lighting and
            hours of operations on residential land uses.
