                                                                                                          The Noosa Plan
xvii            uses, buildings and works closely relate to their rural setting and village context
                and are compatible with the scale and character of existing uses and works;

dd)           For Boreen Point village—

          i        there is a distinct boundary to the village and urban development does not
                   extend beyond the boundaries identified on Map ZM1;

         ii        its location on a rocky outcrop on the western side of Lake Cootharaba
                   bounded by water on three sides, is preserved;

        iii        the low lying land on approach to Boreen Point from the west constrains
                   expansion of the village;

        iv         its special character is derived from its lakeside setting, foreshore with
                   extensive public space, shading vegetation, mix of traditional and location
                   responsive building designs, low levels of infrastructure and relative lack of
                   commercialism;

         v         its relatively quiet relaxed lifestyle is offered by the village’s lakeside setting,
                   its focus on lakeside and river activities and the open space, rural and water
                   vistas. The village attracts significant numbers of visitors particularly during
                   holiday periods, weekends and special events;

        vi         its compact nature, grid pattern of streets, low traffic volume, shaded streets
                   and attractive views are maintained;

       vii         walking dominates local trips taking advantage of the curved esplanade and
                   views to the lake and beyond framed by trees and buildings, from the higher
                   parts of the village, that provide a sense of exploration and scenic beauty for
                   visitors and residents;

       viii        the townscape and streetscape character of the village is preserved and
                   enhanced;

        ix          important views and scenic vistas are protected, particularly views—

                   a.   to Lake Cootharaba and beyond from roads and other public places;

                   b.   to the village from its western road access; and

                   c.   to the village from Lake Cootharaba and its foreshores;

         x         the comparative lack of commercialism is retained and Business Uses are
                   primarily focused on the immediate needs of residents and, to a lesser
                   degree, on visitors and provide locally based employment opportunities;

        xi         the Apollonian Hotel is retained as an important local landmark and
                   character building with any further development being sympathetic to the
                   existing arrangement of buildings and landscape setting;

       xii       its strong connections with its history with many of the early modest style
                    cottages and the original Le Bateau Ivre Guest House are preserved;

       xiii        the newer character of Boreen Point is retained and enhanced consistent
                   with typical “Queenslander” style homes relocated from surrounding areas to
                   the village;
