NJA Submission Attachment A - Submission

compatible existing or likely future surrounding land uses. The QIC development application if
developed as proposed, will severely limited the ability for the Noosaville locality and in fact the
whole of the Noosa local government area, to provide uses which are considered essential for
more sustainable and diverse the local economy.

The QIC development application should not be approved until sufficient suitable land can
complete the rigour necessary for such a strategic planning exercise and formally included in the
adopted planning scheme for the Noosa local government area. This also confirms that the QIC
development application is premature.



3.0            CONCLUDING COMMENTS


The provisions of The Noosa Plan 2006 were adopted to strategically guide and steer the
expansion of the SBC to cater for community needs and to include a variety of uses including
business, employment, open space, residential and recreational mixed uses. More specifically,
Precinct E1 has been designated as a major employment node and is to include technology based
research and development, business offices and civic land uses.

The QIC development application proposes to include predominately retail uses including a super
market, department store and speciality stores. Of the sixteen (16) uses proposed, only six (6)
remain consistent with the provisions of The Noosa Plan 2006.

The QIC development application over Precinct E1 remains inconsistent with the DEO’s, SBC
Assessment Table, Overall Outcomes for the Noosaville Locality, Specific Outcomes and Probable
Solutions for the Noosaville Locality and Specific Outcomes and Probably Solutions for the SBC.

The Noosa Junction Association considers that QIC has not provided sufficient information to
adequately justify such a range of non-compliance and strongly encourages Noosa Shire Council
to refuse the above QIC application given its drastic inconsistency with the Noosa Plan 2006 and
as a result will adversely impact on the planned role and function of the Noosaville locality, directly
impact on other localities such as the Noosa Junction and result in lost employment opportunities
for the whole of the Noosa local government area.
