The Enquiry By Design workshop and subsequent planning and design work
established a vision and a set of core planning and design principles for the
Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal.

The vision and principles were subsequently used to prepare a Development
Code. The Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Pottal Development Code is a
freestanding document designed for consistency with the Strategic Plan and

’ Noosa North Shore Development Control Plan. it is intended that it become

the code controlling development over this site and it has also been designed
for potential incorporation into Noosa’s IPA Planning Scheme (dependent on
Council and community views and timing).

New development will be code-assessable and Petrac sees this application
process to be integral to achieving the outcomes sought by Noosa’s planning
instruments.

The Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal Development Code is reproduced
in Section 4.7 and consists of the following:

« A Vision resporiding to Strategic Plan and Noosa North Shore
Development Control Plan. and derived: from the Design By Enquiry
workshop;

° A set of Planning and Design Principles that have been derived from the
vision;

e A Structure Plan that divides the site into three precincts based on design,
land use and land management issues; and

e A Design Code that includes provisions relating to the overall site and
provisions applying to each precinct.

PRECINCTS AND PROJECT ELEMENTS

The site naturally falls into three distinct areas or precincts, indicated on the
Structure Plan (see application and the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal
Code reproduced in Section 4.7 of this report). These precincts, in the West,
Centre and East of the site, form the basis of the planning for the Noosa North
Shore Eco-Tourism Portal.

The West Visitor Precinct is proposed to be an accommodation and services
precinct where:

° <A range of interpretive and educative services and associated
commercial functions is provided to visitors and the public;

' Provision of this form of accommodation is an optional suggestion, responding to
the draft Noosa North Shore Management Strategy (page 20).
