Noosa Junction area and in so doing also represent the wider local community.

above development application by QIC Noosa Civic Pty. Ltd. (QIC development application).

The main concerns relate to the obvious fact that the QIC development application is inconsistent with
the strategic planning strategic and certain development assessment provisions within the current
planning scheme for the whole Noosa Shire (The Noosa Plan 2006) for the proposed development of
this site which is within the Shire Business Centre (SBC).

the information provided by QIC with the above development application to date, has not provided
sufficient support for the QIC development application to be approved by Council.
