                                                       Notwithstanding this, Noosa Plan 2020 specifically identifies sites and precincts within
                                                       the Tourist Accommodation zone with visitor only approvals or reserves land for visitor

                                                       St Mixed Use Precinct. These sites, and in particular Hastings St, are intended for
                                                       visitors not permanent residents with a range of commercial, tourist and entertainment

                                                       they be exempt from the local law.
                                                       These exemptions align to the land use outcomes sought by Noosa Plan 2020, and
                                                       avoids potential inconsistencies, inequities and discrimination which may arise from
