Locality Provisions
Development sought in the Tourist Accommodation zone in the Hastings Street Mixed Use precinct
is to provide for a range of visitor accommodation activities and non-residential uses accommodated
in mixed-use buildings, where such activities are compatible with and ancillary to the predominant
functions of the zone as visitor accommodation.
An outcome of the Hastings Street Mixed Use precinct is for development to be consistent with the
existing built form and the particular mix of accommodation, dining, retail and other entertainment
and services that have created such a vibrant and successful centre dominated by independently
operated local businesses.
The proposed development provides for a shop on the lower floor and a unit for short term
accommodation on the upper floor. Although the non-residential tenancy is not at a ratio of at least
20 accommodation units to one non-residential tenancy as required by Acceptable Outcome AO6.1
of the Tourist Accommodation Code, it meets the corresponding outcome PO6 in that the
accommodation unit is located on the upper floor of the development. A greater yield of
accommodation units would be quite difficult to achieve, given the size of the site.
The is site identified on the Hastings Street Precinct Map as a ‘Gateway and Key Corner’ and,
‘Primary Active Street front and ‘Key Pedestrian Area’, under Noosa Plan (Noosa Heads Local Plan
Code), as shown in Figure 5 Hastings Street Framework & Character Plan.
