SC6.8.9             Noosa Business Centre

(1)   Key urban design and character outcomes for Noosa Business Centre are listed below:
      (a)   Introduce and encourage architectural design requirements in keeping with the Noosa style with fine grained built form and
            pavilion style low scale development incorporating high quality landscaping.
      (b)   Ensure the new ‘Main street’ is consistent with the Noosa style village streetscape character, that addresses the street
            edge and contains active frontages with high amenity streetscapes and landscaping.
      (c)   Car parking arrangements are to be located to the rear or underneath buildings and not visible from the street.
      (d)   New development is to promote walkability and pedestrian safety as a priority over vehicle movement.
      (e)   Development is designed and located to maintain an external edge of natural vegetation to effectively screen urban
            development within the centre from Walter Hay Drive and Eenie Creek Road except at the key entry points.

(2)   The Noosa Business Centre Framework and Character Plan is located in the Noosaville 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 Noosaville. 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 Noosaville:
      (a)   Contextual – typically distant views to landscape elements, often layered with more localised features. The key contextual
            views for Noosa Business Centre are those to Noosa National Park which provide an important contribution to gateway
            sites/ arrival experience (regionally significant landscape character, close proximity to proposed transit hub).
      (b)   Localised­ typically views within the centre to key character elements, such as significant landmark or character buildings or
            key landscape forms. Localised Views include:
            (i)     Views to key corners and proposed landmark buildings which signalise the entry points to the centre (combination of
                    built form and character landscape).
            (ii)    Views to the proposed transit area from key gateway sites (elevate the importance of public transport in the town
                    centre context)
            (iii)   Views at the intersection of proposed new north­south ‘main street’ and existing access road which signalise a key
                    wayfinding point for the centre to the existing shopping centre, showrooms or new mixed use village precinct.
