The overall outcomes for the Neighbourhood Centre Zone is as follows:
(a) the Peregian Beach and Sunrise Beach neighbourhood centres form focal points for the communities
    providing local shops, offices, restaurants and limited higher order functions to support the day to day
    needs of residents and visitors;
(b) retail, commercial and medical functions are of a convenience nature and residents will access higher
    order goods and services at Noosa Heads, Noosaville or outside of Noosa Shire
(c) Business Uses are of a scale and character consistent with the locality and the commercial and retail
    hierarchy of Noosa; and
(d) development provides for strong pedestrian and visual connections between private development and
    adjacent public spaces.
The proposed development is consistent with the intent of the Neighbourhood Centre Zone by providing a
range of uses and functions to support the community. The proposal provides a mix of office, restaurant and
various retail uses whilst improving the public amenity in a visually pleasing development. Overall, the
development delivers the outcomes sought by providing amenity and capitalising on the character of the
