SC6.8.3             Pomona

(1)   Key urban design and character outcomes for Pomona are listed below:
      (a)   Retain retail and commercial focus of land with frontage to Memorial Avenue, Station Street and Reserve Street and
            industrial and commercial focus of land on Factory Street;
      (b)   Reinforce Memorial Avenue, Station Street and Reserve Street as the main streets with buildings that address the street,
            provide active street fronts, complement the traditional building form and style (Art Deco and Federation styles) and
            incorporate weather protected footpaths;
      (c)   Continue a low speed, pedestrian focussed street environment, with attractive vegetated streetscaping;
      (d)   Retain the Character Area within the village centre and continue to protect individual heritage sites;
      (e)   Encourage buildings that reflect the traditional heritage styles and character of Pomona, particularly within the character
            area west of the railway line. Allow for the relocation and reuse of older buildings destined for redevelopment in other parts
            of Noosa Shire;
      (f)   Allow further retail development in the form of small tenancies only; and
      (g)   Where topography allows, retain the traditional grid layout of Pomona when extending existing streets.

(2)   The Pomona Framework and Character Plan is located in the Hinterland Villages Local Plan code in the Noosa Plan. It identifies a
      number of key urban design and character elements which support the overall outcomes and performance outcomes for Pomona.
      Each of these elements are described in more detail below to provide some context and guidance in achieving the outcomes of
      the Noosa Plan.
(3)   Key Views – Views identified as important to the character, legibility and experience of Pomona are broken down into two types:
      (a)   Contextual – typically distant views to landscape elements, often layered with more localised features. Key contextual views
            for Pomona are:
            (i)     The views from the eastern side of the railway are of especially high quality, layered with views to key buildings in the
                    foreground; and
            (ii)    Views to Mt Pinbarren framed by Reserve Road, are an important contribution to gateway sites.

      (b)   Localised­ typically views within the centre to key character elements, such as heritage and civic buildings or key landscape
            forms. Localised views to note include:
            (i)     The view down Memorial Avenue ­ low scale buildings follow the natural topography down the hill, marked by the
                    double storey Pomona Hotel at the low point;
            (ii)    Views from the bridge (crossing Cooroora Creek) with vegetation framing the view to Mt Cooroora; and
            (iii)   Views to the Majestic Theatre and heritage buildings from the train station.
