                vii    protecting industrial areas, valuable extractive and mineral resources and

                ix     industrial uses being of a relatively small scale whist still being a significant
                       contributor to the local economy, with a product market that will range from
                       local to international scale;

                x      supporting the potential for various industries in the rural hinterland including
                       for example, food production, recreation and tourism, and furniture
                       manufacturing;

                xi     supporting home based industrial businesses that reduce demands on land
                       resources for businesses, while maintaining surrounding residential amenity
                       and environmental values;

                xii    industrial uses being located and managed to avoid adverse impacts on
                       other economic sectors, including those reliant on Noosa’s character and
                       natural environment; and

                xiii   recognising extractive and mining resources are finite, location fixed natural
                       resources that are significant to Noosa Shire’s economy and need to be
                       appropriately managed.


Community implications of Industrial Business Uses:

•   Noosa Shire’s industrial sector is part of a wider hierarchy on the Sunshine Coast, where larger
    scale and higher order uses will be found in local government areas to the south.

•   Industry will generally be of a relatively small scale, as compared to that found in cities. Whilst
    comparative scale is likely to be small, product markets will range from local to international and as
    a consequence, industrial business will be significant contributors to Noosa Shire’s economy.

•   The rural hinterland has potential for various industries linked, for example, to food production,
    recreation and tourism, and furniture manufacturing.

•   Home-based industrial businesses reduce demands on land resources for business purposes. They
    involve minimal capital outlays and are often small scale, having insignificant impacts on neighbours.

•   Inappropriately located or managed industrial business can cause adverse impacts on other
    economic sectors, particularly those reliant on Noosa’s character and natural environment.

•   Extractive and mining resources are a finite and location-fixed natural resource of economic
    significance to Noosa Shire and are to be appropriately managed.


         f)     NATURAL RESOURCES
                Renewable natural resources are used sustainably and non-renewable natural
                resources are used prudently. The use of natural resources does not have a
                significant adverse impact upon other land uses. Natural resources include—
                water;
                fisheries and forest resources;
                coastal resources;
                soil resources; and
