available for such employment opportunities will derive the Noosa economy of becoming more diverse
and therefore robust.



   3.   The QIC development application does not meet the overall outcomes for the
        Noosaville Locality as identified in The Noosa Plan 2006 and as a result will
        undermine the balance of planning within the Noosaville locality and between
        localities and therefore the whole of the Noosa local government area.

Each locality in the Noosa Shire local government area has its own code in The Noosa Plan 2006
against which assessable development will be assessed and in doing so help to ensure each locality
obtains its preferred form and function and that there is a balance and coordination between each
localities within the local government area and with surrounding localities. The Noosaville Locality Code
in The Noosa Plan 20006 is one of the important applicable development codes against which the QIC
application is to be assessed. The Overall Outcomes for the Noosaville Locality Code are intended to
strategically guide development within Noosaville locality and the expansion of the SBC.

The Noosa Junction Association considers that the QIC development application is seriously
inconsistent with the Overall Outcomes for the SBC as identified in section 11.8.2 (w) of The Noosa Plan
2006 as summarised below:

Non-Retailing Development

Section (w) iii of the Overall Outcomes of the SBC requires the need for “…the development of a
substantial amount of non-retailing development for employment opportunities beyond retail business”.
Section E1 of the SBC has been specifically designated to include primarily employment, technology
and research and development uses. The QIC development application over Precinct E1 does not
include non-retailing development for employment industries and as a result fails to comply with Section
(w) iii of the Overall Outcomes of the Noosaville Locality.

Employment Precinct (E1-E7)

Section (w) xi of the Overall Outcomes for the SBC reconfirms the need for substantial non-retail
development while placing priority on the inclusion of Employment Precincts for sections E1-E7. More
specifically, The Noosa Plan 2006 requires Precinct E1 in the SBC to be developed to cater for
employment growth with preferred themes to take advantage of new employment opportunities. Precinct
E1 is to provide for a range of civic uses and functions with a predominant focus on research and
development industries. The QIC development application for the Precinct E1 proposes predominantly
retail uses and does not comply with Section 11.8.2 (w) xi of the Overall Outcomes of the Noosaville
Locality.

Some of the consequences of such a conflict were briefly referenced in those facts and circumstances
supporting ground 2 above. This conflict with a carefully considered strategy for the Noosaville locality
and its relationship with other localities in the Noosa local government area will create an undermine the
strategic intentions for all localities including the Noosa Junction in the Associations opinion.



   4.   The QIC development application does not appropriate address the Specific
        Outcomes (and Probable Solutions) for the Noosaville Locality as identified in The
        Noosa Plan 2006 and therefore ignores what was intended for the form and function
        of that locality.

The QIC development application openly fails to comply with Specific Outcomes for the Noosaville
Locality prescribed under Division 17 of The Noosa Plan 2006. Areas of inconsistency between
the QIC application and specific outcomes for the Noosaville locality include:

                detailed measures relating to bulk and scale, being height (O8),
                maximum site cover (O11),
